    Default Setting up PlasmaCam = tripping breaker

    So my school district purchased the PlasmaCam for my Woodshop.
    Weird, I know for a Woodshop, but it could be fun as long as I don't burn down the school.
    Got my IT to dedicate/setup the computer correctly and the system detects the computer, too.

    However, when I try to initiate a cut, the torch starts to move like it's going to center itself, but then trips the breaker.
    Has done this twice now.

    Thoughts? Thanks. I'll possibly be on here a lot since I have no experience with this machine, but everyone is excited to see it run. Especially me and my students!

    The PlasmaCam puts out a tremendous amount of RF noise. You CANNOT have the PlasmaCam table plugged into a GFI or GFCI breaker circuit or outlet. You must have a clean feed of electricity without the GFI protection. The PlasmaCam will trip a GFI outlet or breaker every time.
