So my school district purchased the PlasmaCam for my Woodshop.
Weird, I know for a Woodshop, but it could be fun as long as I don't burn down the school.
Got my IT to dedicate/setup the computer correctly and the system detects the computer, too.

However, when I try to initiate a cut, the torch starts to move like it's going to center itself, but then trips the breaker.
Has done this twice now.

Thoughts? Thanks. I'll possibly be on here a lot since I have no experience with this machine, but everyone is excited to see it run. Especially me and my students!

Hey did you try the Plasma cam owners forum. There is some guys on there that are guru's when it comes to the plasmacam. Just google plasmacam community

The PlasmaCam puts out a tremendous amount of RF noise. You CANNOT have the PlasmaCam table plugged into a GFI or GFCI breaker circuit or outlet. You must have a clean feed of electricity without the GFI protection. The PlasmaCam will trip a GFI outlet or breaker every time.
