    Well I cannot argue with your meter, however you stated that you a have 60 amp cutter on your machine and I was not aware the a powerultra was availble with a 60 amp cutter, the spec's state 50 amps. At a 31 amp draw I would expect the output to be near 40 amps. regardless of the capacity of the cutter. Measurements on both ends could help in solving this mystery. I still stick to my rule of thumb when somebody asks me what size of breaker do they need for a given amperage output on plasma. I tell them,,, plasma machine max amps less 10 amps give or take for the breaker.

    the only problem with that would be the cord. like on my unit the cord is only rated for 20 amps(25 amps max since it's stranded) and if you consistently pull 30 amps it will eventually melt either then insulation or the copper both of which are bad. i've been meaning to upgrade the power cord but since i need to send it in for service anyways i'll wait till i get it back

    Shawn,
    We've discussed this several times here. Do NOT change out your cord. It is properly rated according to the duty cycle of the welder. Doing so will be putting the warranty at risk.
