The 65 is available in single phase input, at 240v the input current is going to need some special provision.
You think that's too expensive? You're not a Model Engineer are you? :D

I just googled hypertherm, one of the first page of links is the UK distributor, they have PDF spec sheets, there are two types of amp ratings for single phase machines, I don't know what the abbreviations stand for,but for 240v they are twenty-odd amps and forty-odd amps.

To run a powermax 65 from single phase 230v you would need around a 44 amp supply. A powermax 45 will need around a 30amp supply at 230V.

right cheers for the reply..
so im ok currently to run the PM45 on a 240v 32amp socket.
but to run the PM65 i would need to upgrade the cable to 10mm T&E.
and MCB to 50amp, and the socket to a 240v 63amp.
EDIT. wow have you seen the price of the 240v 63amp plug and sockets OMG.....Last edited by T0rnado69; 16-06-2016 at 01:28 AM. Reason: add info
