Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention include a plasma cutting system having a plasma cutting power supply. The plasma cutting power supply outputs a pierce current which is higher than a maximum operational current rating for a torch for the cutting operation for a determined duration. After the expiration of the duration the output current is reduced to a cutting current level. Embodiments allow for the cutting of thicker materials than known systems.
