More Information
Summary:In some aspects, plasma torch cutting systems can include a housing and a plasma torch power supply within the housing and configured to generate a signal that initiates generation of a plasma arc in a torch head, the power supply including an integrated circuit comprising a plurality of electronic components used to generate the signal that initiates generation of the plasma arc, at least one of the electronic components being at least partially formed of a wide bandgap semiconductor material.
