building a plasma torch cabel -cord using dc wires and air hose

Post by hamooteh »

hello all

first of all i would like to thank every body for this amazing forum, i have been searching the internet for long time for any information on the dc power and pilot wire types used in the plasma cutter torch cable but with no luck and this driveing me crazy. i understand that plasma torch recive high voltage low current and too high at start say mabe 12kv then drops to 300 volts or less once plasma arc start so can some one please tell me what is the specs of the piwer wire and pilot wire and thickness used . as ive seen manufacturers use many smaler wires rather the one big cable for more inslation.
i have a miller spectrum 1000 and im not sure if the unit is working or no so i want to build a torch to make sure before i invest in expensive cable and why not building one to suite my requirment and cheaper to replace
cheers
