.1 Electrical Connection
The AdvanceCut45 is designed to operate on a 15A 240V AC power supply.
5.2 Extension Leads
If an extension cord must be used, it should be minimum cable core size 2.0mm
2
for length of up to
10m, or minimum 2.5mm
2
for lengths over 10m.
Using extension leads of over 100m is not recommended.

.3 Generator Use
This machine is designed with generator use in mind and incorporates wide voltage tolerance and
intelligent voltage sensing technology to provide maximum protecon from power fluctuaons that
can occur with motor generators.

.3.1 Generator Size
Generator size should be not less than 8kva. A 10kVa generator will not provide enough power to
enable full output and duty cycle of this plasma cuer. However, it should provide sufficient power
for lighter cung and short runs.
To enable full output and duty cycle of this plasma cuer a recommended generator size is
minimum 10kVa.
5
.3.2 Generator Quality & Warranty Limitations
Avoid using poor, low quality generators as these have the greatest risk of power spikes etc. A
suitable quality generator should have a THD (total harmonic distoron) rang of no more than 6%.
Most reputable generator suppliers will be able to specify the THD rangs on their product.
Any damage caused by poor quality generator power supply or incorrect use is not covered under
warranty.

.3.3 3 Golden Rules of Generator use
When running an inverter plasma cuer off a generator there are 3 VERY IMPORTANT Golden Rules
that MUST be followed:
1. Do
NOT plug plasma cuer into generator unl AFTER generator has been started up and is
running smoothly
2.
UNPLUG plasma cuer from generator BEFORE shung generator down/turning generator
off
3.
NEVER let your generator run out of fuel whilst the plasma cuer is plugged in.
Following these Golden Rules will significantly reduce the risk o
f any damage resulng from
generator power supply.
