I'm running this one on a 30 amp breaker. Odd since it's a 45a cutter? I'm not that deep in electric. Wired it up on a 30 like the manual recommended and it hasn't tripped it yet.
Did you iron out the kinks in cutting 1/4” or 3/8” plate? Amperage/PSI/ feed rate/ initial pierce hight/ pierce delay/ EVERYTHING!!! I just starting cutting 1/4” and I’m all over the place in setting trying to dial it in for quarter. 1/8” and lighter is easy. But shits gotta be right when you get into 1/4” and beyond....
I did on 1/4 and 3/8. The biggest thing I ran into while using the lotos cutter is that the factory nozzle (45a) are too small, they kept melting. I had to move up to ipt65 nozzle. 1/4" was barely decent. I really had to go half of the speed of the recommendations in the big. Max out the amperage and 5 psi over the recommended cutting pressure for 1/4" It is very frustrating
What size of circuit breaker are you use?

Voltage is 240 V AC?
@@Pet3324 that's correct

Excuseme, is there any way to show how did you connect the plasma cutter with your cnc system? I would appreciate it. Thank you
Did you ever figure this out?
@@TylerHarney I know it's a late response but ua-cam.com/video/r0QzbJB8rm0/v-deo.html
what is the duty cycle on the torch?
100% @40 amps
60% @55 amps
With a 240 connection.
One of the main reasons I gave it a chance
