The Miller 173816 is a premium extended electrode designed for high-performance plasma cutting applications requiring 70 to 100 Amps. Manufactured by Miller Electric, this consumable is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of industrial fabrication and maintenance environments. It is the designated replacement electrode for the ICE-80C, ICE-80CX, ICE-100C, and ICE-100T plasma torches, commonly found on Spectrum 1000 and Spectrum 1251 plasma cutting systems.
Constructed from high-grade copper with a precisely inserted hafnium emitter, this electrode ensures efficient electrical conductivity and thermal transfer. The hafnium center is critical for arc generation; Miller's manufacturing process ensures it is embedded securely to prevent premature blowout and extend the service life of the part. Using genuine OEM consumables like the 173816 is essential for maintaining the warranty status of your equipment and ensuring that your plasma cutter operates at its rated duty cycle and cut capacity.
The "Extended" configuration of this electrode physically projects the arc point further away from the torch body. This design feature is particularly beneficial in complex fabrication scenarios where standard electrodes may be obstructed by the workpiece geometry. By extending the reach, operators gain better line-of-sight to the cut line, improving accuracy and reducing the likelihood of torch collisions with the material. This electrode is sold individually and is a critical stock item for any shop operating compatible Miller Spectrum machines.
