4.6 Parallel installation
Two power sources can be connected in parallel to allow higher current.
CAUTION!
When cutting below 100 A only use one power source. We recommend removing the
negative conductor from the auxiliary power source prior to work with current less than 100
A. The disconnected conductor must be isolated safely to prevent the risk of electric shock.
4.6.1 Parallel connection of two power sources
CAUTION!
The main power source has the electrode conductor (negative conductor) jumpered. The
main power source has the return conductor (positive conductor) jumpered.
1. Connect outgoing negative cables to the arc start box (high frequency
generator).
2. Connect the outgoing positive cables to the workpiece.
3. Connect positive and negative cables between the power sources.
4. Connect the pilot arc cable to the pilot arc terminal in the power source. The
auxiliary power sour ce pilot arc connection is not used. The pilot arc cir cuit is not
connected in parallel.
5. Set the pilot arc switch (marked HIGH/LOW) on the auxiliary power source to
LOW.
6. Set the pilot arc switch (marked HIGH/LOW) on the main power source to HIGH.
7. If the output current is remotely controlled by direct current reference signal
0.0010.00 V, the same reference signal must be connected to both power
sources. Connect both power sources' J1-G (direct current positive 0.00 to 10.00
V) and connect both power sources' J1-P (negative). When both power sources
are in operation, the output current can be calculated according to the following
formula: (output current) = (reference voltage) x 160 in the high current area.
The power source does not have a mains voltage switch. T hen mains voltage is
switched off using the switch at the power socket.

4.6.2 Marking with two parallel connected power sources
Two parallel connected power sources can be used for marking down to 20 A and
for cutting from 100 A to 1000 A. After two modifications of the auxiliary power
source, marking can be carried out down to 10 A. The modifications only need to be
made if marking is to be carried out with a current lower than 20 A.
Modifications for marking with down to 10 A
1. Modifications of the main power source: none.
2. Modifications of the auxiliary power source:
a. pull out the white conductor from K12's coil
b. remove the jumper between terminal 7 and 8 on terminal card 7 (the jumper
is integrated in the terminal row).
NOTE!
These modifications only disable the auxiliary power source's power output in
marking mode. They do not affect the function of the auxiliary power source's
power output when cutting, neither in the low nor high power mode.

bp07de1
Operation with two parallel connected power sources
1. Signal supply main and auxiliary power sour ce with signals for switching on and
off contactors, marking/cutting and current range high/low. Same Vref-signal
must supply both power sources.
2. When marking with parallel connected power sources when the auxiliary power
source is not modified, the power control's transfer function is equal to the sum
of each power source transfer function: Iout = 20 x Vref. Each power sour ce will
be supplied with the same amount of power.
When marking with parallel connected power sources when the auxiliary power
source is not modified, the power control's transfer function is equal to the main
power source's control transfer function: Iout = 10 x Vref. Both power sources
switch on when ther e is a contactor signal, but the auxiliary power source's
power output is off when working in marking mode.
3. When cutting in the low current range, current control's transfer function is equal
to the sum of both power sources' current regulation's transfer function: Iout = 20
x Vref. For current currents less than 100 A, disconnect the negative cable(s)
from the auxiliary power source and isolate the cable ends to prevent the risk of
electric shock. When the auxiliary power sour ce is disconnected, the curr ent
regulation's transfer function is equal to the m ain power source's current
regulation transfer function: Iout = 10 x Vref.
4. When cutting in the high current range, current control's transfer function is equal
to the sum of both power sources' current regulation's transfer function: Iout =
160 x Vref. F or current currents less than 100 A, disconnect the negative
cable(s) from the auxiliary power source and isolate the cable ends to pr event
the risk of electric shock. Use the low current operating mode.

Lights in the event of serious fault. Incoming mains voltage must be switched off and
stay off for at least 5 seconds before switching back on.
Current control potentiometer (9)
The power source can be set from 10 to 100 A in the low current range and from 50
to 600 A in the high current range. Only used in PANEL mode.
Switch co n t rol pan el / remote operation (10)
This switch is used to select where the current is controlled from.
S With the switch in the local control mode, PANEL mode, use the potentiometer
on the control panel.
S With the switch in the remote control mode, REMOTE mode, the current is
controlled by e xternal signal (CNC).
Switch HIGH/LOW for the p ilo t arc (7)
Used for setting desired pilot arc current. LOW mode usually works best for cutting
currents up to 100 A, but this can vary depending on the type of gas and torch type
used and the material. How to set high/low is given in the cutting data included in the
user instructions for the burner. When the power source is set for marking, this
switch must be set to LOW.
Emergency stop connection (6)
The emergency stop connection gives access to the emergency stop's breaking
contact. The contact is connected to J4- A and J4-B and breaks when the emergency
stop button is pressed. This gives a signal to the plasma cutting equipment stating
that the power source is in emergency stop mode.
Emergency stop button (5)
The emergency stop button affects the emergency stop switch. When the button is
pressed, emergency stop status is active. T he power source cannot provide any
power, even if a start signal is given.
Display window (3, 4)
Voltage and current are shown in these display windows during cutting and marking.
The ammeter can be switched from displaying the actual value of the set setpoint
value before cutting starts, to give a n indication of how high the cutting cu rrent will
be.

Switch actual valu e/setp o in t value display (2)
Switch for switching between display of cutting current's actual value, ACTUAL
AMPS, and setpoint value, PRESET AMPS. The switch spring returns upwards, to
ACTUAL AMPS mode. In ACTUAL AMPS mode, the cutting current's actual value is
shown in the ammeter' s display window.
in PRESET AMPS mode (down) an approximate value for the cutting current' s
setpoint value is shown. The value is obtained by measuring the voltage reference
signal Vref 0 to 10 VDC. The reference signal is obtained from the current
potentiometer when the control switch PANEL/REMOTE is in the local operating
mode PANEL (up) and from a remote reference (J1-J / J1-L(+)) when the control
switch is in control switch mode, REMOTE (down). In both high and low current
modes the displayed setpoint value is an approximate value for the actual value that
the current receives.
The switch can be set between ACTUAL AMPS and PRESET AMPS at any time
without affecting the cutting process.
5.1.3 Operate modes: cu ttin g with h ig h respectively low current an d marking
mode
1. The power source has two cutting modes: high current and low current. In low
current mode, the cutting currents from 35 to 100 A can be used, corresponding
voltage reference Vref 3.50 to 10,00 V. In high current mode, the cutting current
can be regulated steplessly from 50 to 600 A using the current potentiometer on
the control panel or with a remote reference signal connected to J1. EPP-601
has low current mode as standard setting. If the high current mode is used, 115
VAC must supply J1-T by connecting an isolated contact between J1-T and
J1-R.
When the remote signal is used, 50 A reference signal voltage corresponds to
0.625 VDC and 600 A corresponds to 7.50 VDC. If the remote reference voltage
exceeds 7.50 VDC, internal limiting circuits in the power source limit the cutting
current to a maximum of 680 A.
EPP-601 has cutting as standard setting. To switch to marking m ode, the control
signal for this must be supplied from a remote control unit.
2. The switch is set to marking mode with the external, isolated relay or external,
isolated switch that connects J1-R (115 VAC) with J1-M. The electrical circuit
diagram is in the inside of the rear panel. Contact closure for marking mode must
occur at least 50 ms before start command (signal for contact on) is given.
In marking mode, the outgoing current can be regulated steplessly from 10 to
100 A using the current potentiometer on the control panel or with a remote
reference signal connected to J1. In marking mode, EPP-601 automatically
switches to low current mode.
During remote operation in low current mode, 10 A reference signal voltage
corresponds to 1.00 VDC and 100 A corresponds to 10.00 VDC. During remote
operation in high current mode, 50 A reference signal voltage (Vref) corresponds
to 0.625 VDC and 600 A corresponds to 7.50 VDC. If the remote reference
voltage exceeds 7.50 VDC, internal limiting circuits in the power source limit the
cutting current to a maximum of 680 A.
In marking mode, the auxiliary circuit is used for arc lighting in cutting mode off.
Resulting idle voltage is about 360 V at nominal incoming mains voltage*. K12

bp07de2
then closes and connects R60 to R67 in the output circuit. These resistors
stabilise the current when marking with low current. The power source can be
run with intermittence factor 100% in marking m ode in the entire current range
10 to 100 A.
10 A output current is obtained using resistors R60 to R67. Default set lowest
starting current (set using switch set SW2) is 5 A. Standard setting for switch set
2 (SW2) on the control card behind the access door up to the right in the front
panel is that switches 5, 6, 7 and 8 are off (down).
* Approx. 345 V in the version for 380/400 V during operation with 380 V mains
voltage.
5.2 Starting cutting or marking
1. Power the equipment by switching on the switch at the power
socket (the power source does not have its own mains power
switch). The m ains power lamp comes on and the fault
indication lamp flashes and then goes out.
2. Pull out the emergency stop button.
3. Select operation from the control panel or remote operation.
4. Set the pilot switch to the desired mode (HIGH or LOW). If
HIGH or LOW mode for the pilot arc is to be operated remotely,
the switch on the panel must be in LOW mode, see cutting data
in the torch user manual.
5. During local operation from the panel you can display the
current's setpoint value using the display switch ACTUAL
AMPS/PRESET AMPS. Adjust the setpoint current until the
desired value is displayed in the ammeter display window.
During remote operation, the display switch must be in
PRESET AMPS mode to display the setpoint current the
remote operation system has initially been set to.
6. Start plasma cutting. This can consist of manually setting other
options, depending on the equipment's configuration and
scope.
7. During local operation from the control panel, adjust the current
to the desired value since cutting started.
8. If cutting or marking operation does not start, check the fault
indication lamps. If any fault indication lamp comes on, see the
fault tracing chapter.
NOTE!
The fault indication lamp flashes when the contactor is first
switched on, to indicate that the d irect current bus is powered
normally.
