NOTE

* Suggested wire size based on United States NFPA 70 National Electrical Code 2011 edition published by the

National Fire Prevention Association. Listings are from table 400.5(A)(2) for exible cord of certain types rated

for 75 deg C in ambient temperatures up to 30 deg C. Using wires of lower temperature rating or dierent insu-

lation type may require larger wire size. Derate for higher ambient.

These are suggestions only. Always refer to your local and national codes that apply to your region for nal

determination of correct wire type and size.

Gas Supply

The customer must supply all gases and pressure regulators. Gases must be of high quality. Pressure regulators

must be double-stage and installed as close as possible to the gas console. Contaminated gas can cause one or more

of the following problems:

• Reducedcuttingspeed

• Poorcutquality

• Poorcuttingprecision

• Reducedconsumableslife.

• Oilorgreasecontaminationfromcompressedorbottledaircancauseresinconjunctionwithoxygen.

Cooling System Requirements

Coolant must be added to the system on installation. The amount required varies with torch leads length.

Victor Thermal Dynamics recommends the use of its coolants 7-3580 and 7-3581 (for low temperatures).
