Apologies if this is completely obvious but how do I wire up a plug to my 45XP? There are four cables & I need to wire it up to a 3 pin plug (UK)?
Thanks so much in advance!

Are you 100% sure this is a single phase unit? Is there a spec plate on the back?
Hi,
Hypertherm offer the XP45 in both single phase and three phase configurations. As 400XD suggests this is supplied by the spec plate. Hypertherm are very careful to present that type of information
on the manufacturers plate and to international standards.
I worked for a welding supply company and serviced Hypertherm for seven years, including approximately annual training sessions of two and three days each by Hypertherm Engineers/Technicians sent all the way out
to New Zealand for that purpose.
The problem with the single phase variant was that the color scheme followed US practice (Black, White and Green-Yellow) whereas in New Zealand we follow IEC colors (Blue, Brown, Green-Yellow)
and that the conductors were large, say 4mm2 which meant that it was a battle to fit a single phase plug as most plugs are designed for only 2.5mm2 conductors.
Hypertherm are damned good, solid plasmas....best on the market by my estimation.
