Hobart

Hobart 500575 Plasma Cutter 120/240V 27A

SKU CH-XCYZ-4Q4GT MPN 500575

Dual-voltage plasma cutter slices mild steel from 1/8 to 3/8 inch thick at up to 27 amps

  • TypeWelding Parts & Supplies
  • MaterialHAWA
  • Cuts mild steel up to 3/8 in thick
  • Handles 1/8 in minimum material thickness
  • Operates on 120V or 240V input power
  • Delivers 14 to 27 A cutting current range
  • Runs on 50/60 Hz single-phase supply

Dual-voltage plasma cutter

The Hobart 500575 plasma cutter operates on 120 V or 240 V single-phase input, drawing 28.8 A at 120 V and 13.9 A at 240 V. It delivers a 27 A maximum output current with a 14 A minimum, suitable for cutting mild steel from 1/8 in to 3/8 in thick. Open-circuit voltage is 400 V DC at 50/60 Hz.

Ideal for light fabrication and maintenance

This unit suits workshops and mobile jobs that need flexible mains compatibility and a compact cutting range up to 3/8 in mild steel. It is not for buyers who need higher amperage for thicker plate, three-phase power, or automated CNC table integration.

Maximum output current 27 A

The 27 A peak output defines the practical cutting limit of 3/8 in mild steel and determines whether the machine matches the thickness you work with daily. Input current reaches 20 A at 120 V, so the supply circuit must support that load.

Questions about this item

What comes with the Hobart 500575 and what must I buy separately?

The unit is supplied as the plasma cutter only. You will need to source a compatible torch, consumables, work clamp, air supply and appropriate 120 V or 240 V power cord.

Should I run the 500575 on 120 V or 240 V for thicker mild steel?

At 240 V the cutter draws 13.9 A and delivers the full 27 A output for 3/8 in mild steel. On 120 V it draws 28.8 A and is limited to 20 A input, reducing maximum cut thickness.

What does the 27 A maximum output current mean when I am cutting 3/8 in mild steel?

The 27 A rating is the peak output available at 240 V. It supports the stated 3/8 in maximum thickness on mild steel with the output adjustable down to 14 A for thinner material.
