Plasma cutter will not power on

I was using the Dynatorch this morning and part way through a cut the plasma cutter (Hypertherm) turned itself off. I let the plasma cutter cool down for 30 minutes but it will not turn back on. I’m not sure if it just overheated itself or if an internal fuse was tripped. I had used the Dynatorch earlier in the morning and someone else had used it before me before I had this issue; neither of us had any issues.

I had the machine at 85 amps and the cut was supposed to take about 5 minutes to complete. I’ve done longer cuts at this current level and didn’t have the machine do this before. I’ve pulled my piece off of the table so if someone comes in they can look at the machine.

The breaker is likely tripped the breaker for it is in the wood shop
