The Hypertherm Powermax 1000 G3 is an inverter plasma cutter in a small housing. The duty cycle is 60 A at 50% and 42 A at 100%, and the working voltage runs from 88 V to 104 V. The supply is 400 V with a 15 A fuse, and the set holds a 7 m plasma lead.
What this machine is for
Plasma cuts every metal that conducts current, so with this power source you part structural steel, acid resistant sheet and aluminium without a change of gas and without preheating. A duty cycle of 42 A under continuous work lets you run longer cuts with no breaks, and 60 A at 50% gives a reserve for thicker material. The machine suits places where the equipment has to be carried between stations.
The working voltage from 88 V to 104 V rises as the torch moves away from the material, so the arc holds also on an uneven surface and with a changing gap. The 7 m plasma lead and the 6 m earth cable give a working radius around the power source, and a 15 A fuse is an ordinary workshop connection, so the machine comes into the station with no changes to the wiring.
Features and equipment
- Duty cycle 60 A at 50% and 42 A at 100%: longer cuts with no breaks for cooling.
- A 7 m plasma lead and a 6 m earth cable: reach around the station without moving the power source.

What to watch out for
For work you need a 400 V socket with a 15 A fuse and a compressor with a filter and a dryer, because moisture and oil shorten the life of the nozzle and the electrode. The shop catalogue data put this unit at a cutting current up to 100 A, while the documentation gives 60 A at a 50% duty cycle, so before you buy confirm the torch build and the rating plate.
