B-4 B-4 OPERATION CUTTING CAPABILITY The Pro-Cut 55 is rated at 55 amps, at 50% duty cycle on a 10 minute basis or 40 amps, at 100% duty cycle. If the duty cycle is exceeded, a thermal protector will shut off the output of the machine until it cools to the normal operating temperature. Figure B.1 shows the cut capacity of the Pro-Cut 55 when cutting mild steel. The graph plots cut thickness vs. torch travel speed with a torch standoff of 0.15 in. (3.8mm).
