Plasma Torches

WPCT300 Plasma Torch

WPC’s standard WPCT300 configuration operates in a range from 80kW to approximately 300kW. The current to the field coils in the WPCT300 is in series with the arc current. The WPCT300 does not feature independent control of the field coil current and arc current.

WPCT540 Plasma Torch

Like the WPCT2400, the WPCT540 torch power is controlled by changing either the arc current, field current or the process gas flow. Torch connections include quick disconnects for the air supply, cooling water and electrical connections to facilitate torch removal for ease of inspection and maintenance. The WPCT540 plasma torch has an operating power range of 280 kW to 530 kW. The WPCT540 is designed to have a variable custom fabricated length to fit a variety of different gasifier designs. The maximum arc current of the WPCT540 plasma torch is 650A. The WPCT540 torch uses two separate power supplies: one for the field coil and one for the arc. The arc current and the field coil current can be independently controlled.

WPCT2400 Plasma Torch

The WPCT2400 torch power is controlled by changing either the arc current, field current or the process gas flow. Torch connections include quick disconnects for the air supply, cooling water and electrical connections to facilitate torch removal for inspection and maintenance. WPC has two standard WPCT2400 configurations, a low power torch, the WPCT2400L and a high power torch, WPCT2400H.

-The low power WPCT2400L plasma torch operates in the range from approximately 350 kW to approximately 800 kW

-The high power torch operates in the range from approximately 860 kW to 2400 kW. The maximum arc current of the WPCT2400 plasma torch is 2000A.

The WPCT2400 torch uses two separate power supplies: one for the field coil and one for the arc. The arc current and the field coil current can be independently controlled.
