The consumable kit for the Hypertherm XPR170 and XPR300 plasma cutting systems are engineered for high-performance, precision cutting. While both use similar component types (electrode, nozzle, shield, etc.), they are not interchangeable due to the different power levels and gas requirements of each system.
The XPR170, a 170-amp torch, utilizes consumables like part number 220960 for its Duramax Lock torch, optimized for materials up to 1.25 inches. The more powerful XPR300, a 300-amp torch, requires heavier-duty consumables like part number 228870 to handle materials over 2 inches thick.
