One Electrode, Two Amperages, Three Hosts: Airgas confirms 220528 as "45 Amp Electrode For Use With HSD130, HyPro2000™, MAXPRO2000®" . Hypertherm's official matrices place 220528 at 45A Air (HSD130 & MAXPRO200) and 50A O₂ (HSD130 & MAXPRO200) . One electrode, three host torches, two gas processes.
Dual-Gas, Dual-Amp Coverage: The 220528 carries 45A in air (cutting mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum) and 50A in oxygen (cutting mild steel) . This consolidation — one electrode for the lightest cutting class across both gases — simplifies inventory on mixed-material, mixed-gas jobs.
Arc Initiation = Cut Quality: The electrode's primary function is to provide a focused path for electrical current to jump to the nozzle, ionizing the gas and creating the plasma arc . The HALANSM 220528 reproduces Hypertherm's tip geometry and emissive-insert precision so the arc stays stable — translating to smooth cut edges and reduced dross.

HALANSM® 220528 Electrode — 45A Air / 50A Oxygen for MAXPRO200 / HSD130 / HyPro2000
The HALANSM® 220528 is the entry-amperage electrode for Hypertherm's HSD130, HyPro2000, and MAXPRO200 plasma systems. As the component where the plasma arc is born, the electrode governs two factors that decide your cut quality and your cost-per-part at the lightest cutting class: arc-start reliability and how tightly the arc is constrained before it reaches the nozzle. A worn or off-center electrode causes wandering arcs, excessive dross, and accelerated nozzle erosion.
Why 220528 is the right electrode for 45A / 50A work
Across all three host platforms, Hypertherm's official consumables matrices place the 220528 at the 45A Air and 50A O₂ positions:

Airgas confirms the cross-platform identity: "Hypertherm® 45 Amp Electrode For Use With HSD130, HyPro2000™, MAXPRO2000®" . One electrode, three host torches, two gas processes — air and oxygen.
Key Features
Dual-Amperage, Dual-Gas Coverage: The 220528 carries 45A in air (cutting mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum) and 50A in oxygen (cutting mild steel) . One electrode covers the entire light-cutting class across both gases — a genuine inventory simplification on mixed-material, mixed-gas jobs.
High-Conductivity Copper Body: Crafted from oxygen-free, high-conductivity copper , the electrode body minimizes energy loss and effectively draws heat away from the critical tip — preventing premature failure at the 45–50A load.
Precision Emissive Insert: The insert embedded in the tip is the point where the arc attaches . The 220528 uses a high-grade, precisely formed insert that provides exceptional arc-initiation reliability and stable performance, especially in oxidative environments (air or oxygen plasma gas) .
Precision Machining: The electrode's seating surfaces and threads are machined to exact tolerances , guaranteeing a perfect fit within the torch body, optimal electrical contact, and correct alignment with the 220529 swirl ring and 220890/220891 nozzle.

NOTE: 220528 = entry-amperage electrode. Compatible hosts: HSD130 (45A Air / 50A O₂), HyPro2000, and MAXPRO200 machine & hand torch — covering 45A Air (mild steel / stainless / aluminum) and 50A O₂ (mild steel) . For 130A use electrode 220487; for 200A use 220937 (each covered on its own product page). The 220528 pairs with swirl ring 220529 and nozzles 220890 (Air) / 220891 (O₂). Always inspect the electrode tip for excessive cratering or cracking when cut quality degrades — a worn electrode causes arc wander, double-arcing, and accelerated nozzle failure . HALANSM® is an independent aftermarket manufacturer; this part is a compatible replacement for Hypertherm® systems.
