Hypertherm PowerMax 1250 Pilot Arc Module

Part Number: 128674

Description

The Hypertherm PowerMax 1250 Pilot Arc Module is a critical component of the PowerMax 1250 plasma cutting system. It is responsible for generating the pilot arc that initiates the cutting process. The pilot arc is a small, focused stream of plasma that melts the metal and creates a path for the main cutting arc to follow.

The Pilot Arc Module is located on the front of the PowerMax 1250 power supply. It is a self-contained unit that includes the pilot arc generator, the pilot arc torch, and the pilot arc gas supply. The pilot arc generator is a high-frequency unit that produces the high-voltage current needed to create the pilot arc. The pilot arc torch is a small, water-cooled torch that directs the pilot arc onto the metal. The pilot arc gas supply provides the shielding gas that protects the pilot arc from the atmosphere.

The Pilot Arc Module is a critical component of the PowerMax 1250 plasma cutting system. It is responsible for generating the pilot arc that initiates the cutting process. Without the Pilot Arc Module, the PowerMax 1250 would not be able to cut metal.

Troubleshooting

If the PowerMax 1250 is not cutting properly, the Pilot Arc Module may be the cause. Here are some troubleshooting tips:

• Check the pilot arc torch for damage. If the torch is damaged, it will not be able to direct the pilot arc properly.
• Check the pilot arc gas supply. Make sure that the gas is flowing at the correct pressure.
• Check the pilot arc generator. If the generator is not working properly, it will not be able to produce the high-voltage current needed to create the pilot arc.

If you have checked all of these things and the Pilot Arc Module is still not working, it may need to be replaced.

Conclusion

The Hypertherm PowerMax 1250 Pilot Arc Module is a critical component of the PowerMax 1250 plasma cutting system. It is responsible for generating the pilot arc that initiates the cutting process. Without the Pilot Arc Module, the PowerMax 1250 would not be able to cut metal.
