Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0591018A1] The electrode structure (15, 16, 17) is normally separated from the nozzle (3) by a spring (31), the rear part (15) of the electrode structure forming a piston means with two opposite faces (24, 25) sequentially exposed to the pressure of the plasma-generating gas when the torch is pressurised so as first to bring the electrode (17) into short-circuit contact with the nozzle (3), then secondly, and when the torch is operated, to hold the electrode (17) away from the nozzle (3). Application in particular to arc plasma (plasma discharge) cutting. <IMAGE>
