Before ordering, confirm the plasma power source, rated current, non-HF starting system, pilot-arc architecture, rear connector and control wiring.
The PT100 is designed for compatible higher-output manual plasma systems requiring a non-HF torch platform.
The PT100 is positioned as a 100A manual plasma cutting torch.
The torch should be operated within its verified current rating and with the correct current-specific consumables.
The current INWELT specification lists a 60% duty cycle at 100A.
Actual thermal load can also be affected by:
Operating current
Ambient temperature
Arc-on time
Gas flow
Number of starts
Consumable condition
The PT100 does not use a conventional high-frequency ignition circuit.
This differentiates it from HF torch families such as INWELT LT-series torches.
The PT100 uses a back-striking consumable architecture in which internal electrode/nozzle movement forms part of the pilot-arc starting sequence.
The electrode, tip, diffuser and torch head should therefore be treated as a matched system.
The PT100 operates as part of a complete plasma cutting system consisting of:
Plasma power source
PT100 hand torch
Air / N₂ supply
Work connection
Compatible pilot-arc and control circuit
During arc starting, the back-striking consumable system forms part of the pilot-arc sequence.
Once the plasma arc transfers to the workpiece, the cutting tip constricts the ionized gas into a concentrated plasma jet.
The plasma arc melts electrically conductive material while the high-velocity gas removes molten metal from the kerf.
The PT100 is a non-HF plasma cutting torch.
It should not be treated as interchangeable with an HF torch simply because both products have similar amperage ratings.
| Feature | PT100 | HF Plasma Torch |
|---|---|---|
| Starting System | Non-HF / Back-Striking | High-Frequency |
| Primary Architecture | Mechanical/Pneumatic back-striking system | HF ignition circuit |
| Power Source Requirement | Compatible non-HF system | Compatible HF system |
| Consumables | Back-striking consumables | HF-specific consumables |
Always match the starting architecture to the plasma power source.
The current INWELT PT100 range includes several complete hand-torch assemblies.

For a product positioned as a 100A torch, this is the most relevant high-output cutting-tip configuration.
The current INWELT page lists:
IJWV1687-16 / 51248.16 – Ø1.6 mm / 110–120A
and currently marks this item as a standard configuration.
This should be reviewed.
If the PT100 is officially rated at 100A, a 110–120A consumable should not automatically be presented as the default 100A configuration.
Before publishing it as standard, verify:
Maximum verified torch current
Duty cycle at higher current
Torch-head temperature
Cable rating
Matching diffuser
Matching shield
Complete power-source test data
If no 120A torch-level verification exists, keep the Ø1.6 mm tip as a related higher-current family part rather than the default PT100 nozzle.
The PT100 family supports contact-cutting consumables.

Specification:
Ø1.5 mm / 100–110A / Back-Striking
Use contact-cutting components only with the correct shield and front-end configuration.
The PT100 supports different front-end configurations.
Standard cutting uses a cutting tip together with the appropriate outside nozzle or spacer.
This arrangement is suitable for normal stand-off plasma cutting.
Contact cutting uses dedicated contact tips and shield components designed to operate close to or against the workpiece.
Do not drag a standard exposed cutting nozzle directly across the workpiece unless that consumable configuration is specifically designed for contact cutting.
The PT100 consumable family includes gouging components.
The current gouging tip is:
INWELT Code: IJWV1698-22
Reference: 51278G.22

These parts should remain clearly identified as manual PT100 components.
Do not mix PTM100 machine-torch heads and bodies into the main PT100 hand-torch spare-parts table.
PT100 and PTM100 belong to the same broader product platform but should be treated as separate complete products.
| Feature | PT100 | PTM100 |
|---|---|---|
| Operation | Manual / Handheld | CNC / Mechanized |
| Torch Geometry | Angled hand torch | Straight machine torch |
| Control | Operator trigger | CNC / machine controlled |
| Mounting | Handheld | Fixed torch holder |
| Torch Height | Operator controlled | CNC / THC controlled |
| Main Application | Manual cutting | Automated cutting |
Some consumables can be shared across the wider product family.
However, complete torch heads, handles, machine bodies and cable/control configurations should not automatically be treated as interchangeable.
Use separate internal-link anchors:
PT100 Manual Plasma Cutting Torch
and
PTM100 CNC Plasma Cutting Torch
Do not select the PT100 only because a plasma cutter is rated at 100A.
Several technical factors must match.
The plasma power source must support a compatible non-HF/back-striking torch system.
The PT100 is positioned primarily as a 100A torch.
Available configurations include:
1/4G integrated
Central adapter
Current complete-torch configurations include:
2-wire control
4-wire control
The plasma power source must support the PT100 starting arrangement.
For replacement projects, provide:
Plasma cutter manufacturer
Machine model
Rated output current
Original torch model
Main connector photo
Pilot-arc connection photo
Trigger/control connector photo
This is more reliable than stating that the PT100 fits every CUT100-type plasma cutter.

When connected to a compatible plasma power source, the PT100 can cut electrically conductive materials including:
Mild steel
Carbon steel
Stainless steel
Aluminum
Copper
Brass
Galvanized steel
Actual cutting speed, edge quality and practical cutting thickness depend on the complete plasma system.
The current page states that the PT100 can cut approximately 30–40 mm at 100A.
This should not be presented as a universal torch-only cutting guarantee.
Actual cutting capacity depends on:
Plasma power source
Input power
Material
Cutting current
Cutting-tip diameter
Gas pressure
Gas flow
Travel speed
Torch-to-work distance
Consumable condition
Required edge quality
Professional plasma specifications should distinguish between:
Material thickness that can be cut productively with appropriate speed and edge quality.
Thicker material that can still be cut, normally at reduced speed.
The maximum thickness that can be separated, usually with lower edge quality.
Publish specific PT100 thickness figures only when supported by an INWELT complete-system test.
A first-party PT100 cutting chart would be one of the strongest SEO and GEO additions to this page.
Recommended fields include:
| Parameter | Data to Publish |
|---|---|
| Material | Mild Steel / Stainless Steel / Aluminum |
| Thickness | Tested thickness |
| Current | Actual tested current |
| Tip Code | INWELT part number |
| Tip Diameter | mm |
| Gas Pressure | bar |
| Gas Flow | L/min |
| Travel Speed | mm/min |
| Stand-Off | mm |
| Cut Result | Recommended / Maximum / Severance |

The current INWELT specification lists:
Process Gas: Air / N₂
Gas Pressure: Approx. 4.5–5.0 bar
Gas Flow: Approx. 200 L/min
Recommended Post-Flow: Approx. 100 seconds
Moisture, compressor oil and particulate contamination can negatively affect:
Arc stability
Electrode life
Cutting-tip life
Cutting consistency
Use appropriate filtration and moisture separation.
Static pressure can differ from the actual operating pressure while the torch is flowing gas.
Filters, regulators, fittings and long supply hoses can create pressure loss.
Set gas pressure according to the complete plasma cutting system's operating procedure.
The current INWELT specification recommends approximately 100 seconds of post-flow.
After the plasma arc stops, continued gas flow helps remove residual heat from:
Torch head
Electrode
Cutting tip
Front-end consumables
Allow the normal post-flow cycle to complete whenever possible.
Do not switch off the air supply immediately after heavy cutting unless the plasma system manufacturer specifically allows it.
