The ESAB 33946 Power Cable is a critical replacement component designed specifically for the HW-17 series of air-cooled TIG torches. Engineered to meet the rigorous standards of industrial welding, this cable serves as the primary power conductor in a 2-piece cable assembly configuration. Unlike standard 1-piece cables where power and gas travel through a single line, this 2-piece variant isolates the electrical current, offering distinct advantages in specific maintenance and setup scenarios.
Measuring 12.5 feet in length, this cable provides the standard reach required for bench-top welding and fabrication stations. The core features highly conductive copper stranding, optimized to carry the full amperage rating of the HW-17 torch without overheating or significant voltage drop. This ensures that the arc remains stable and responsive, a crucial factor for achieving precision welds in TIG applications.
ESAB has constructed this cable with a heavy-duty rubber jacket that offers excellent resistance to abrasion, cuts, and incidental heat exposure common in welding environments. The flexibility of the cable is maintained even after repeated coiling and uncoiling, reducing operator fatigue by minimizing drag on the torch handle. The connections are robustly crimped and reinforced to withstand the mechanical stress of daily use, preventing common failure points near the torch handle or machine terminal.
This part is a direct fit for ESAB (formerly L-Tec/Linde) HW-17 torches utilizing the 2-piece cable system. It connects seamlessly with compatible power adapters and torch bodies, ensuring a secure electrical path. Whether you are repairing a damaged setup or refurbishing an older torch assembly, the ESAB 33946 ensures your equipment operates at peak performance levels.
