OVERVIEW

High-Performance Industrial Plasma Power Source

The ESAB Thermal Dynamics PAK 200i is a premier industrial plasma cutting power source designed to meet the rigorous demands of heavy fabrication, scrapping, and manufacturing environments. Engineered with advanced inverter technology, this unit delivers a massive 200 Amps of cutting power while maintaining a compact footprint relative to its output class. This specific model is configured for 600V 3-phase input power, making it suitable for Canadian industrial facilities and other regions utilizing high-voltage mains.

Reliability is the cornerstone of the PAK 200i design. It boasts a 100% duty cycle at full 200A output, ensuring that the machine can operate continuously without thermal shutdown, even during the most demanding long-duration cuts or gouging operations. The system supports liquid-cooled torches, which are essential for maintaining consumable life and cut quality at these high amperage levels. The power source is capable of severance cuts up to 3 inches (75mm) on mild steel and production piercing of up to 1 inch (25mm), providing exceptional versatility for structural steel and heavy equipment repair.

Technologically, the PAK 200i incorporates features such as Tip Saver, which prevents the plasma arc from damaging the tip when it contacts the workpiece, significantly reducing consumable costs. The unit also supports dual-gas inputs, allowing operators to switch between air, nitrogen, or argon-hydrogen mixes to optimize cut quality and speed depending on the material—be it mild steel, stainless steel, or aluminum. This listing is for the power source only, allowing for customization with the appropriate torch and lead lengths for your specific facility layout.
