Guide

Single phase or three phase

Check the supply before you choose the cutter. MetalWise units ship without a power cable, and each one lists the cable and breaker it needs.

Single phase or three phase

Single phase 220V units

P-METALWISE/35, P-METALWISE/45 and the P-METALWISE/P65 run on single phase 220V, as does the P-POWERMAX/45. They suit workshops without a three phase supply.

Three phase 380V units

From 100A up the MetalWise range runs on three phase 380V, as do the Powermax 65A to 125A and the MAXPRO200.

Before the installer arrives

  • Confirm the supply phase and the spare capacity on the board
  • Size the cable and breaker from the unit's own page
  • Keep the run short and the earth return close to the cutting area
