Hypertherm Powermax30 AIR Plasma Cutter with 15 ft Hand Torch
The Powermax30 AIR is a compact 30 A plasma cutter that carries its own compressor, so no outside air compressor or filter has to be set up. It runs on 120-240 V single-phase power, weighs 29.8 lbs with its torch, and comes as a hand-torch system with a 75° torch on a 15 ft lead.
A 240 V/20 A plug is supplied with adapters for 120 V/15 A and 240 V/20 A circuits, and a 15 ft work clamp is included. Duty cycle is rated 35% on 240 V and 20% on 120 V, with output adjustable from 15 to 30 A. An engine drive needs to supply 5.5 kW for the full 30 A output.
The unit measures 16.5 x 7.7 x 13.1 in. (D x W x H) and has a 10 ft input power cable. It runs from a single-phase supply, and a carrying strap is included.
