Will the PowerPlasma 60C cause hi-frequency interference on a CNC table?

I think I have the ESAB sold (pending payment from buyer), so that's a good thing...

Thanks for the info everyone, where it stated that it was a HF machine was what was throwing me off, and probably Jim from Hypertherm too.

It's been tested at length. The start does not produce the noise or interference of HF. It's a faster start as well, over the blowback.

Will the 60C ever be built in a single phase model?

The 60c is single phase. http://www.everlastgenerators.com/Po...0C-366-pd.html

Thanks I did not see that page, only made it to here.

you can get the chokes on ebay cheap , i run chokes on most my machine shop machines

I see it say low frequency instead of high , that's neat . watched a video on IGBT and how they work and how to test them neat video

That page must have been recently updated. Last month I am fairly certain it showed it as a 3ph machine.

The inrush of 27A @ 240 and running amps of 21 @ 240vac lead me to think those are 3 phase numbers. If not, there is no question which machine should be bought by everyone....the 60C.

The specs pages are always pretty "iffy". Not sure why, but the fundamental input power requirements and output power of teh machine are probably toe two things that buyers look at first. The rest is nice, but those two determine the capacity of the machine verses teh infrastructure needed to operate it.

Comments are continually made directed to errors from the web host. Oleg, bring the web design and control in-house rather than outsourcing, or at least outsource with a reputable company. Today's internet will make or break a company. Nothing fuels the red and blue fire like spelling or technical errors on a webpage and poor "chinglish" user manuals.

Sure looks to be 3 phase with the amp draws shown, as the PP60 shows inrush of 46A @ 240 and running amps of 36 @ 240vac

Maybe someone from tech will drop in here and let us know on the PP60C as i have thought about a CNC table and this one looks as though it would work quite well.

Guys,
I think its worth repeating, The 60C is designed for CNC use. It's been tested with it for many hours, and different machines all over the world. So far no reports of any problems with compatability.

In fact, it comes WITH the CNC torch... The unit is single phase. In the original version it was 3 phase. The Regular specs for the PP 60 apply for amp draw. Expect about 50.

Thanks Mark
That is what I was wondering about.

Brad, I had asked the same thing before I ordered it, didn't have much use for what I thought was a 3-phase unit the sales guy was trying to sell me (he knew it was single phase, but I guess he didn't think the website would say it wasn't).

Anyways, I got it yesterday. The box was open when I got it (as in, the tape was completely cut???), and the CNC plug was missing, but that didn't stop me from testing it out. I am not sure what to do with the THC on my control box, can't get the manufacturer on the phone to get answers (of the control box, not everlast). I cut the 4 knives for a customer, some gussets as tests, and the Toyota sign as a 'gift' to a potential sponsor for my truck (to race KOH). Going to get a Toyota emblem (chrome) to put in the open oval section, figure it would stand out nice.

Still have to get it dialed in where it minimizes dross, I think I may need to raise the cutting speed, but I didn't want to fool with it while it was actually cutting a 'good' part.

It is funny that this $1000 Everlast machine cuts better than the ESAB PCM 875 I had that I paid $1000 used for....

So far, I am pleased!

yey i sure like my plasma had a hyper therm what a piece of crap , my everlast plasma cut so nice got the 50p
