I don't think this equipment is listed.

Interestingly, there are a fair number of special requirements in this section for welders but I did not see any special requirements for plasma cutters.

Part II only applies to arc welders. Part III only to resistance welders. Part IV only to welding cables.

So it would appear to me that the only special requirement found in article 630 that applies to plasma cutters is the requirement that they be listed found in part I, that is new to 2017.

If something is covered in article 630 does that exempt them from other 6XX articles? I don't see how it exempts them from the control panel requirements found in article 4XX.

I don't know enough about this kind of equipment, but I see it being possible a plasma cutter is considered a type of "welding equipment"?

What little I do know about them, I'd say it would fall under "arc welders" in art 630 if it is considered to be welding equipment.

how is a plasma cutter even remotely an arc welder? one cuts metal the other stitches it together.
