2 – Power Supply Setup
Position the plasma cutting system
 Position the Powermax30 XP near an appropriate power receptacle. The system has a 3.0 m (10 foot) power cord.
 Allow at least 0.25 m (10 inches) of space around the power supply for proper ventilation.
 Place the power supply on a stable, level surface before using.
 Do not use the system in rain or snow.
Prepare the electrical power
The system’s maximum output voltage varies based on the input voltage and the circuit’s amperage.
Additional factors must be considered when you are operating the system at an input power of 120 V, as tripped circuit
breakers can result under some conditions. For more information, see
System operation guidelines on page 47 and
Troubleshooting guide on page 63.
Voltage configurations
The system automatically adjusts for proper operation at the current input voltage without requiring you to perform any
switching or rewiring. However, you must set the amperage adjustment knob to an appropriate output current and verify
that an appropriate set of consumables is properly installed in the torch. For more information, see
Adjust the gas
pressure and output current on page 44 and Install the consumables on page 42.
The following table shows the maximum rated output for typical combinations of input voltage and amperage. The output
setting you need to use depends on the thickness of the metal and is limited by the input power to your system.

CAUTION!
A circuit capable of 20 A/120 V or 20 A/240 V is required for proper operation. Protect the circuit with
appropriately sized slow-blow (time-delay) fuses or circuit breakers.
