45 Service Manual
System description
The Powermax45 is a highly portable, 45-amp, handheld and mechanized plasma cutting system appropriate for a
wide range of applications. The Powermax45 uses air or nitrogen to cut electrically conductive metals, such as mild
or stainless steel or aluminum. With it, you can cut thicknesses up to 25.4 mm (1 inch) and pierce thicknesses up to
9.5 mm (3/8 inch).
The standard Powermax45 includes one complete set of the consumables needed for cutting (shield, retaining cap,
swirl ring, nozzle, electrode), 2 spare electrodes, 2 spare nozzles, gouging consumables (handheld configurations only),
a quick-disconnect air fitting (1/4 NPT on CSA units and 1/4 NPT x G-1/4 BSPP on CE units), a consumables box,
a shoulder strap, an Operator Manual, a Quick Setup Card, and a Setup DVD. Mechanized configurations include a
remote-start pendant as well.
You can order additional consumables and accessories – such as the plasma cutting guide – from any Hypertherm
distributor. See the Parts section for a list of spare and optional parts.
The power cords on the 200–240 V CSA power supplies are shipped with a 50 A, 250 V plug (NEMA 6-50P) on the
power cord. The CE units and the 480 V CSA units are shipped without a plug on the power cord. See Prepare the
electrical power in the Power Supply Setup section for more information.
