0559313345 - ESAB A80 Industrial Plasma Cutter Power Source 600V

Industrial Grade Plasma Power Source

The ESAB A80 Plasma Console (SKU: 0559313345) is a robust industrial power source designed for high-performance plasma cutting applications requiring 600V 3-phase input. Engineered for durability and consistency, this unit delivers a maximum output of 80 Amps, making it suitable for a wide range of conductive metals including mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. The A80 architecture is built to withstand the rigors of heavy fabrication environments, offering a reliable duty cycle that supports sustained production workflows.

This console utilizes standard compressed air as the plasma gas, simplifying shop logistics and reducing operating costs compared to multi-gas systems. It features a high-frequency pilot arc starting mechanism, which provides instant and reliable arc ignition even on surfaces that are painted, rusted, or expanded metal grids. This non-contact start capability extends consumable life and improves process efficiency. The 600V input configuration is specifically tailored for Canadian industrial facilities and heavy manufacturing plants where high-voltage power grids are standard, ensuring efficient power consumption and stable arc characteristics.

The unit's control panel is designed for operational simplicity, allowing operators to easily adjust amperage settings to match material thickness and cutting speed requirements. The chassis is constructed with heavy-gauge metal to protect internal components from dust, debris, and impact. Whether integrated into a mechanized cutting table or used as a standalone manual cutting station, the ESAB A80 Console provides the consistent energy delivery necessary for clean, dross-free cuts and gouging operations. It represents a solid investment for MRO departments and fabrication shops seeking a dedicated, high-voltage plasma solution.

Technical Specifications & Performance

The A80 is rated for a production cut capacity of approximately 1 inch (25.4mm) on mild steel, with a severance capacity exceeding that for occasional rough cutting. The 600V 3-phase requirement ensures balanced power draw, reducing strain on facility electrical distribution systems compared to single-phase alternatives. Maintenance personnel will appreciate the accessible internal layout for routine service and inspection. This unit is compatible with specific ESAB torch assemblies designed for the A-series, ensuring optimal gas flow dynamics and arc constriction.
