From the manual. Tell this to your electrician.
Our Versa-Cut Plasma Cutter is supplied with the popular NEMA 50P plug, requiring a NEMA-50R recepticle. If a 220-240 VAC, 30 Amp outlet is used a UL listed 30 Amp plug may be installed by a licensed and qualified electrician

Since the plasma cutter comes with a 50 amp plug I would have him install a 50 amp receptacle (NEMA 6-50R) using wire/cable rated for 50 amps. That way if you can use the same receptacle for a welder. The circuit breaker can also be a 50 amp two pole breaker.

Strange that this unit will operate on a 20 amp 120 volt circuit, but needs a 30 amp circuit when running off 240 volts. I believe I'd wait on the circuit till I could see the data plate on the unit.
