Powermax 1000 will only fire for 1-2 seconds

Post by kbbroncs »

I have a hypertherm powermax 1000 on a Plasmacam DHC 2. My torch fire for 1 to 2 seconds and goes off. I have changed the consumables, tried it by hand with jumper installed and had the same results. I don’t know where to go next. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Do you have a pressure gauge on the back of the plasma cutter where the air enters to monitor air pressure during cutting?
