Abstract

See full text

In a main circuit 11 of the plasma cutter power supply device 6, a plurality of DC power units 14-1, . . . 14-n of low capacity are connected in parallel on their DC output sides, and are connected to a plasma torch 20. Each power unit 14-1, . . . 14-n can operate asynchronously and independently from each other. The power supply control device 6 controls the number of power units to be operated, and the intensity of output electrical current at which each of them is to be operated, according to the cutting conditions (the nature of the material to be cut, its thickness, and the cutting speed) and according to the number of power units which can be operated. If some of the power units are faulty, the power supply control device 6 controls the cutting conditions which can be accepted, according to the number of normal power units.
