# Plasma Power Sources (MetalWise / Hypertherm Powermax) — Sales Handbook (AI version)

**Human page:** https://8i.co.za/guide/amcoza/sales/plasma-cutters/power-sources/  
**Parent:** https://8i.co.za/guide/amcoza/sales/plasma-cutters/

MetalWise IGBT air-plasma sources from 220V single-phase 60A to 380V 200A+, and Hypertherm Powermax 45–125A with mechanised torches.

## Scenario
Buyer needs a plasma source for a CNC table or a replacement or upgrade.

## Client email: Size the plasma to the steel you cut

The power source decides how thick you can cut and how clean the edge is.
MetalWise IGBT inverters run from 220V single-phase (60A class) up to 380V three-phase water-cooled units. Hypertherm Powermax 45 to 125A is the premium option.

## SKU family
Pattern: `^P-(METALWISE|POWERMAX)/` (14 live machine SKUs)

## Who it's for
CNC table owners, fabricators upgrading thickness, and Hypertherm-spec buyers.

## What to pitch
- Match amps to thickness and duty cycle.
- Check electrical supply and compressed-air volume (100 L/min at 3.8 bar on the 45 model).
- Sell torch consumables (P-METALWISE/W range).

## Objections
- **"Why not a cheaper MOSFET unit?"** MetalWise uses IGBT for faster, cleaner cutting, per KB.
- **"220V only?"** The 45 model runs on 220V. Thicker cutting needs 380V or a PhaseMagic converter.

## How to choose
P-METALWISE/45 is 220V single phase, 22–60A at 100% duty: 12mm pierce, 10mm quality cut on mild steel.
The 85 and 125 models are 380V three-phase for thicker plate, and the 165 is water-cooled.
Hypertherm Powermax is for buyers who specify Hypertherm.
