0558006786 - ESAB PT-38 Replacement Plasma Torch 25ft

Industrial Grade 90A Plasma Torch

The ESAB PT-38 Plasma Torch (SKU: 0558006786) is a high-performance replacement torch assembly designed specifically for the ESAB PowerCut 1300 plasma cutting system. Engineered to handle up to 90 Amps of cutting power, this torch provides the thermal intensity required for severing thick plates and performing high-speed cuts on thinner gauge materials. The assembly comes complete with a 25-foot flexible lead, providing operators with a significant working radius relative to the power source, which is essential for working on large fabrication tables or around bulky equipment.

A defining technical feature of the PT-38 is its utilization of blowback start technology. Unlike traditional high-frequency (HF) start systems that generate electrical noise capable of interfering with CNC controls, computers, and vehicle electronics, the blowback method uses a mechanical electrode movement to initiate the pilot arc. This ensures consistent ignition reliability without the risks associated with HF radiation. The torch head is designed with a compact 3-inch profile, improving visibility of the arc and the cut line for greater precision.

Maintenance and longevity are critical in industrial environments, and the PT-38 addresses this with a fully field-repairable architecture. Components can be accessed and replaced quickly without specialized tooling, reducing machine downtime and maintenance costs. The torch is built to withstand harsh shop conditions, featuring impact-resistant materials and robust strain relief at the cable connection points. This unit is supplied as a complete assembly, ready to connect to the PowerCut 1300, ensuring immediate restoration of cutting capabilities.
