model

APT-i

000

torch

designed

specifically

for

the

Plasma

Arc

Cutting

(PAC)

process.

The

torch

can

cut

through

all

metals

with

the

capacity

cut

3/16

in.

(4.7

mm)

mild

steel.

The

torch

designed

protect

the

operatorfrom

touch

ing

live

internal

torch

parts.

This

safety

design

accom

plished

means

shield

cup

detector

circuit.

the

shield

cup

comes

loose

removed,

the

circuit

opened.

The

torch

equipped

with

two

shield

cup

detec

tor

leads

which

provide

safety

circuit

for

the

operator

when

they

are

property

connected

the

plasma

arc

cut

ting

power

source.

These

leads

are

connected

two

pins

the

torch

head

which

make

contact

with

the

shield

cup

thereby

completing

the

safety

circuit

the

power

source.

The

power

source

must

designed

that

when

this

circuit

open

there

will

power

the

torch.

The

alphanumeric

model

designation

refers

the fol

lowing:

A-Air

Plasma

T-Torch

1000

Amperage

Rating:

Amperes

Plasma

air

which

has

been

heated

extremely

high

temperature

and

ionized

that

the

air

becomes.

electrically

conductive.

The

electrode

located

inside

the

tip

the

torch.

The

torch

tip

has

small

opening

(ori

fice)

which

constricts

the

arc.

The

compressed

air

flows

through

the

arc

where

heated

the

plasma

tem

perature

range.

Since

the

air

cannot

expand

due

the

constriction

the

tip,

air

forced

through

the

orifice

and

emerges

the

form

highly

compressed

airstream.

The

heat

formed

the

arc

and

the

plasma

melts

the

metal,

and

the

airstream

forces

the

molten

metal

from

the

cut.
