Maybe he isn't in the US?You might want to re-check the voltages you posted, there is no 280 volt or 110/240 volt US system.
Welcome to the forum. :smile:
Maybe he isn't in the US?
I have a big three phase plasma cutter that has variable amperage, no problem. My problem is It specifically calls for 280/480 and all I have is a 110/240 panel. What would you guys do to make this work? thanks, Mark.
A DC link choke plus capacitors might be a better idea.To smooth out the DC ripple, you could add a motor's run capacitor to the DC circuit.
I'm sure you are right - it was a tongue-in-cheek comment about your assumption. No offence intended - my sweet wife is from Georgia so I have some familiarity with the similarities and differences.I'll take my chances with the assumption that he mistyped the voltages.
This unit can be hooked up to variety of voltages, and at 240 it will require 53 amps, but it is a 3 phase unit, so if you have a 3-phase panel then your good to go, just wire it for 240 volts delta, if you have a 120/208 Y then that is what you wire it for, the amount of current will depend upon the voltage, but this machine will wire to almost all US electrical systems with out a problem, as long as you have 3-phase supply, or a roto-phase converter.
It is the output to the cutting head that is 280 volts DC OCV @ 100 amps max.
I read the voltage chart as being Model # dependent, not as being universal.
