The Hypertherm Powermax 65 offers the latest in technological advancements when it comes to plasma cutters, such as the Smart Sense™ which automatically adjusts the gas pressure of the unit in relation to the mode that you have set it to and the torch lead length, automatic detection of the end of the electrodes of life through the power supply itself, and Hypertherm's unparalleled Duramax™ torches. These torches are designed for durability and reliability. Featuring Spring Start™ technology in each and every one of them; this technology eliminates moving parts in the torch and ensures consistent starting of the electrode each and every time. Allowing for several modes of operation to be performed with them, such as handheld mechanical cutting/gouging, or robotic cutting/gouging. All of this comes together to allow for the recommended cutting thickness of metal to be 20mm at 20ipm to a maximum of 25mm at 10ipm mechanically, or 32mm at 5ipm by hand. Each piercing the metal continually and evenly at 16mm. While the gouging of the metal is rated as being at 10.7lbs/hr.; achieving a 3.5mm depth by 6.6mm width groove.
The Hypertherm Powermax 65 is designed for heavy-duty cutting and gouging. With a 25-foot hand torch and 180° mechanized torch, this plasma cutter offers the versatility for a wide range of jobs.

Additional Powertherm 65 errors and fault codes
Having a line-disconnect switch for each power supply enables the operator to turn off incoming power quickly in an emergency. The switch should be positioned where it is easily accessible.
Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician and in accordance with national and local codes. The interrupt level of the switch must equal or exceed the continuous rating of the fuses.
The following steps are required for a safe installation:
