The ESAB 33306 is a specialized Pilot Arc Cable System designed to facilitate the critical ignition phase of plasma cutting operations. Measuring 100 feet (30 meters) in length, this cable assembly is engineered for industrial environments where the distance between the power source and the workpiece can be substantial. It serves as the conduit for the pilot arc current, which ionizes the gas and creates the conductive path necessary for the main cutting arc to transfer. Maintaining the integrity of this cable is essential for consistent starting reliability and overall torch performance.
Constructed with high-grade materials, the cable features robust insulation capable of withstanding the harsh conditions typical of metal fabrication shops, including exposure to hot sparks, abrasion from concrete floors, and incidental contact with oils or solvents. The internal conductors are sized to minimize voltage drop over the extended 100-foot run, ensuring that the torch receives the necessary energy to initiate the arc instantly. This is a genuine ESAB OEM replacement part, manufactured to the precise specifications required by compatible ESAB plasma cutting systems.
Replacing a damaged or worn pilot arc cable is a critical maintenance step. Symptoms of a failing cable can include intermittent arc starting, sputtering, or a complete failure to ignite the pilot arc. By installing the 33306 cable system, operators restore the factory-level performance of their equipment. The assembly comes ready for installation, reducing downtime and ensuring that safety standards regarding electrical isolation are met.
