Use of Capacitors and Ferrite Cores for Filtering Plasma Cutter Noise


Attach the capacitor to the terminals of the analog input and ferrite beads as close as possible to the connection to the THC and as close as possible to the noise source.  Use appropriate connection methods and avoid loose splices or connections that could generate more noise or pose a danger. The capacitor could add a minor delay, in the order of milliseconds, which should not affect the THC operation.

⚠️

Check that the polarity of the plasma is correct, keep in mind that the arc output through the divider can cause variations in the output due to the internal circuitry. Overvoltage or reverse polarity power applied to these terminals can cause damage to the board and/or power source.
