34364 - ESAB 17-Foot Replacement Power Cable for PT Plasma Torches

Technical Overview of the ESAB 34364 Power Cable

The ESAB 34364 is a specialized power cable assembly designed for use with select ESAB PT-series plasma cutting torches. Measuring 17 feet in length, this component serves as the primary conduit for electrical current delivery from the power source to the torch head. In plasma cutting applications, the integrity of the power cable is critical for maintaining a stable arc and ensuring consistent cut quality. This assembly is engineered to meet ESAB's stringent OEM specifications, ensuring correct resistance values and insulation properties that match the original equipment.

Constructed with high-grade copper conductors, the cable is designed to minimize voltage drop over its 17-foot span, which is essential for maintaining the necessary energy density at the plasma arc. The outer jacket is manufactured from durable, heat-resistant materials capable of withstanding the harsh environment of industrial metalworking shops. This includes resistance to abrasion from concrete floors, incidental contact with hot sparks, and exposure to common shop fluids. The flexibility of the cable is also a key technical feature, allowing for ease of manipulation of the torch without placing undue strain on the torch connections or the operator.

Failure of a power cable in a plasma system often manifests as intermittent arc starting, power loss, or overheating of the torch handle. Replacing a compromised cable with the genuine ESAB 34364 ensures that the system operates within its design parameters. This part is specifically terminated to interface correctly with the power block and the torch head of compatible PT-series units, eliminating the need for field modifications or adapters. Regular inspection of power cables for cuts, burns, or exposed conductors is recommended as part of a preventative maintenance schedule.
