The Thermal Dynamics PAK200i is a high-performance inverter plasma cutting power supply designed to meet the rigorous demands of heavy industrial applications. Engineered with advanced inverter topology, this unit delivers a substantial 200 Amps of cutting power while maintaining excellent energy efficiency compared to traditional SCR-based rectifiers. The system is configured for 480V 3-phase input, ensuring compatibility with standard industrial power grids found in manufacturing plants, shipyards, and heavy fabrication facilities.
One of the defining technical characteristics of the PAK200i is its 100% duty cycle at full output. This specification is critical for automated environments or manual operations requiring long-duration cuts on thick plate, as it eliminates thermal shutdown interruptions that plague lower-tier machines. The power source supports multi-gas inputs, allowing operators to select the optimal plasma and shield gas combinations—such as Air/Air, N2/CO2, or Ar-H2/N2—to achieve the best metallurgical results on mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum.
The unit is designed to integrate seamlessly with liquid-cooled torch assemblies, which are essential for managing the thermal load generated at 200 Amps. This cooling capacity extends consumable life and ensures consistent arc quality over the lifespan of the torch parts. Additionally, the PAK200i is not limited to cutting; it is a formidable tool for plasma gouging, capable of removing large volumes of material quickly for weld preparation or defect removal. The chassis is built to withstand harsh industrial environments, featuring robust internal component protection and a layout that facilitates easy maintenance access.
