Maximum Control gouging
 Use the Maximum Control gouging consumables.

Hypertherm also offers Maximum Removal gouging consumables. At
higher amperages on other Powermax systems, you can use the Maximum
Removal consumables for greater metal removal rate and deeper gouge
profiles. However, at 45 A with this system and torch, the Maximum
Removal consumables do not offer an advantage over the Maximum
Control consumables in terms of metal removal rate. You can expect each
set of consumables to produce similar results on this system.
 Set the output current between 26 A and 45 A.
 Gouging at lower amperages (10 – 25 A) can limit the torch’s arc stretch capability. In
some instances it may also cause the arc to extinguish or trigger a “torch stuck open”
(TSO) fault. See page 148.

Precision gouging
 Use the Precision gouging consumables.
 Set the output current between 10 A and 25 A.
 Gouging at higher amperages (26 – 45 A) can shorten the life of the nozzle.
