Therefore, the location of the cutting operation is limited, which is extremely inconvenient depending on the location of the object to be cut. In view of this, it is an object of the present invention to provide a small and lightweight portable air plasma cutting machine that eliminates the above-mentioned inconvenience.

る。Electrical components that generate high DC voltage account for a large proportion of the volume and weight of an air plasma cutting machine. Generally, in order to obtain an adjustable high DC voltage, the most effective method is to transform and then rectify the AC voltage controlled by an inverter.Furthermore, the output frequency is increased by increasing the carrier frequency in the DC/AC conversion operation of the inverter. By increasing the frequency of the inverter, it becomes possible to downsize relatively large and heavy elements such as reactors or transformers that are AC current-carrying elements of the inverter. The present invention enables the cutting machine to be made portable by integrally housing the inverter and air compressor, which have been reduced in size and weight as described above.
