3.14 Voltage Divider for iHC Torch Height Control
For best plasma cutting performance it is necessary to maintain a constant height (standoff) above the metal while
cutting. Cutting tables use a Torch Height Control (THC), also called a Z axis control, most of which use feedback
from the arc voltage to control the height. Several of these, including the iHC, part of the Victor Technologies XT
CNC Controller, come with a Voltage Divider Printed Circuit Board that has to be installed inside the plasma power
supply to divide the high arc voltage down to lower levels for use with control circuits.
There is a space for mounting the V-D Board located on the upper portion of an internal vertical panel near the rear
of the power supply. Predrilled holes for mounting the iHT V-D board as well as another popular height control
are provided.
CAUTION
If using another board that doesn’t align with the existing holes, remove the panel if possible before drilling. If not
possible then every precaution must be taken to keep metal filings from being deposited inside the power supply.
Install the V-D Board.
1. Locate the V-D Board which should be with the iCNC.
2. Inside the Power Supply, locate and remove the mounting panel’s 2 screws and panel.
3. Install the V-D board standoffs and the V-D Board from the XT iCNC then reattach the panel with the 2 screws,
securing the V-D board in place. If using another V-D Board, follow the instructions provided mounting it
in this same location.
