powermax 600 Operator Manual
Line Voltage Disconnect Box
Use a line disconnect box for each power supply so that the operator can turn the power supply off quickly in an
emergency situation. Locate the switch near the power supply so that it is easily accessible to the operator. The
interrupt level of the switch must be equal to or exceed the continuous rating of the fuses. Use slow-blow fuses as
listed below.
Grounding Requirements
To ensure personal safety, proper operation and to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI), the
Powermax600 must be properly grounded:
• The power supply chassis is electrically conductive and can present a shock hazard if it is not properly
grounded through the line voltage disconnect box.
• The power supply must be properly grounded through the power cord according to national or local
electrical codes.
• Three-phase service must use a 4-wire cord that includes a protective earth ground.
• Also see Grounding Safety, in Section 1 of this manual.
Generator Power
When using a generator to power the Powermax600:
• Use a generator with a minimum auxiliary output of 8 kVA.
• The generator must be dedicated to powering the plasma cutting system.
• Generator Operation:
1. Set the generator output to AC.
2. Plug the Powermax600 power cord into the auxiliary power outlet.
3. Set the generator to the appropriate output range. If the Powermax600 circuit breaker will not
stay on, reduce the generator output.
• Use unshielded consumables if you experience difficulty with thicker material cutting (non-CE
systems only).
