220629 - Hypertherm 220629 400A Mild Steel Electrode for HPR400XD/HPR800XD

Genuine Hypertherm 220629 Electrode for HPR400XD & HPR800XD

The Hypertherm 220629 Electrode is a critical consumable component designed specifically for high-amperage mild steel cutting applications. Engineered for use with the HyPerformance® HPR400XD® and HPR800XD® plasma cutting systems, this electrode is rated for 400 Amps. As a genuine OEM part, it ensures that your sophisticated plasma system operates at peak efficiency, delivering the precision and speed that Hypertherm users expect.

In mechanized plasma cutting, the electrode is the focal point of the arc generation process. It conducts the high current required to ionize the gas and create the plasma stream. The 220629 is manufactured to exacting tolerances using high-quality copper and advanced insert materials to withstand the intense heat and electrical load of 400A cutting. This specific electrode is optimized for cutting Mild Steel, providing clean, virtually dross-free cuts that reduce secondary operations and improve overall productivity.

Why Choose Genuine Hypertherm Consumables?

Using genuine Hypertherm consumables like the 220629 electrode is essential for maintaining the "HyPerformance" promise of your equipment. Hypertherm's patented technologies are embedded within the design of their consumables. Third-party or aftermarket copies often lack the precise internal geometry and material quality required to sustain a stable arc at 400 Amps. Using non-genuine parts can lead to:

• Inconsistent cut quality and angularity issues.
• Reduced consumable life, leading to more frequent change-outs.
• Potential damage to the torch head or power source due to poor conductivity or coolant flow obstruction.
• Voiding of the manufacturer's warranty.

Application and Maintenance

This electrode is designed for industrial fabrication environments where heavy-duty mild steel cutting is routine. It is suitable for both standard cutting and beveling operations. To maximize the life of your 220629 electrode, ensure your plasma gas (Oxygen or Air) is clean and dry, and verify that the torch height and amperage settings match the cut charts provided in your system's manual. Regular inspection of the electrode pit depth is recommended; replacing the electrode before it fails prevents catastrophic torch damage and ensures production schedules are met without unexpected downtime.
