Origo™ Cut 35i

ESAB Origo™Cut 35i is an air plasma cutting inverter designed for cutting mild steel up to 12mm thick. It operates on a 230-240V single-phase power supply and features a 4.5m ESAB PT31XL plasma torch with HF ignition. The device has an air flow sensor and valve to ensure safe operation and a built-in 2-second air preflow. It also includes overtemperature protection with a warning LED indicator. The Origo™Cut 35i is suitable for various applications, including metal fabrication, automotive repair, and construction.

General

The OrigoCut 35i is an air plasma cutting inverter that operates 230-240Vac (±10%) single phase power

supply. The 2.5m long cable is supplied with a Schucko plug. Circuit bracker with 16A time lag (slow) fuse is

sufficient.

Note:

• At it’s maximum 35A output the primary current is 27A. The open circuit voltage is around 270Vdc and

the maximum cut thickness is 12mm Mild steel.

• The OrigocCut 35i is fitted with the 4.5m long ESAB PT31XL plasma torch. Note: that does not have a

pilot arc and uses HF type arc inition. The safety system utilises an “Air flow sensor” inside the OrigoCut

35i power source in combination with a valve in the PT31XL plasma torch head. If the heat shield is

removed from the torch to access the cutting tip, electrode, etc. the air valve in the torch head shuts off

the air flow. The flow switch in the OrigoCut 35i will not close and no output is available if the torch

switch is accidentally operated.

• An approx. 2 second air preflow is inbuilt when the torch switch is closed, this is overriden if air is already

flowing. Note: there is no air gauge or regulator outside the power source. The regulator is inside the

cover and is preset from the factory.

• When the OrigoCut 35i is first switched on the air will immediately flow for approximately 15 seconds

(the post flow time) to purge any moisture or dirt out of the system.

• There is no test button fitted to this equipment.

• A green LED indicates that air flow switch is activated.

• A yellow LED will indicate that the top temperature of the overtemperature protection has been reached

inside the OrigoCut 35i and the output will be inhibited until the unit has cooled. Make sure that the fan

motor in the back of the unit is operating correctly if this occurs.

Overall OrigoCut 35i circuit arrangement (see fig.1, block diagram):

The OrigoCut 35i uses 2 circuit boards and one bottom plate assembly:

Control The logic, HF generator, air valve PCB top front mounted.

This receive inputs from the torch switch, flow switch, current control potentiometer,

output voltage, etc. and provides the correct control sequencing and interlocks.

Inverter The main inverter PCB.

Bottom plate This carries the main transformer, secondary diodes and chocke.

Important circuit details (see Fig.3-4-5-6-7-8):

Primary: The main inverter “INVERTER” rectifies the incomming 230-240V mains

and feeds this to a capacitor bank C101A-B-C via a softstart circuit

comprising relay RL101 and resistor R102 (10 ohm). The relay contact

closes roughly ½ second after switch on, shorting out R102. The dc voltage

across RS101 is roughly 320Vdc.

Auxiliary voltages: The mains rectified voltage is fed to a small PCB vertical mounted on the

main inverter PCB. Inside this a DC/DC step-down converter generates a

24Vdc auxiliary voltage. Other 2 voltage 12Vdc, 5Vdc are derivated from

the main 24Vdc, also.

All these voltages power the various circuits on all the PCB’s.

Thermal overload protection: Is provided by a PTC resistor mounted on a mosfet heatsink on the inverter

PCB. When the temperature has reached the preset high temperature an

overtemperature protection inhibits the main inverter and a signal is sent

out to light the yellow warning LED on the control board PCB.

The inverter: Switching the main mosfet transistor on/off and hence O.C.V. for example

enabling or disabling the main inverter. This is via a signal from the

logic/control PCB to the main inverter PCB it can be measured on Q4

collector.

The current reference: Voltage control up to 5Vdc, is input to the main inverter PCB at CN103 pin

HF and solenoid valves: The control PCB generates the necessary drive for the HF transformer and

controls the air solenoid valve, note these are powered directly by 230-

240V from the mains supply as follows:

• When the torch switch is closed a logic signal immediately drive the relay RL1 in order to give power to

the gas valve.

• After a little delay from the closed t.s. the inverter is enabled and an open circuit voltage appairs between

A7, A9 connections on the control PCB enegising RL2 which starts the HF generator stage.

Note:

If the gas relay RL1 is not energised it is not possible to get HF as this relay is used to supply 230-240Vac

to the primary of the HF drive stage power supply transformer T2 placed on the control PCB.

Sequencing and interlocks: The main sequencing and interlocking signals required by the control PCB

are:

• O.C.V./arc voltage (measured between A7, A9 connections on the control PCB) is used to both

enable/disable the HF and to limit the O.C.V. of the main inverter to around 270Vdc.

• The air flow switch prevents cutting power from enabling if no air flows, a green LED is illuminated if the

flow switch is operating.

Note:

If the green LED is on and yet no air is flowing, do not use the unit before the fault has been found (flow

switch might be stuck).
