Install and Set Up the Plasma Power Supply
Powermax65/85/105 SYNC Operator Manual 810470 51
Use a generator (if necessary)
Make sure that you do the following when you use a generator:
Only use a generator that meets the plasma power supply’s requirements. Refer to
Powermax65 SYNC and Powermax85 SYNC systems on page 52 and
Powermax105 SYNC systems on page 53.
Adjust the output current (A) if necessary related to the rating, age, and condition of the
generator. Refer to Step 6 – Adjust the output current (A) and operating mode if necessary
on page 72.
Use one of the following recommended generators when full arc stretch is necessary, such
as for many gouging applications. These generators let spikes in input current occur when
you stretch the plasma arc.
15 kW generator for Powermax65 SYNC
20 kW generator for Powermax85 SYNC
30 kW generator for Powermax105 SYNC
If a fault occurs, set the power switch on the plasma power supply to OFF (O). Wait
approximately 1 minute before you set the power switch to ON (I).
Problems with input line voltage (fault codes 0-13-0, 0-60-n, and 0-61-0)
can occur more frequently with some generators. Refer to Troubleshoot
power-related problems with generators on page 145.
