280209 - Miller Power Input Cord Set 250V 50A NEMA 6-50P

Reliable Power Delivery for Industrial Welding Equipment

The Miller 280209 Cord Set is a critical component designed to ensure the safe and efficient transmission of electrical power to compatible welding power sources. Engineered with industrial-grade materials, this power input cord is built to withstand the rigorous demands of workshop and job site environments. The assembly features a robust 8-gauge, 3-conductor (8/3) cable configuration, which is optimized to handle the current requirements of medium-duty welding machines without significant voltage drop, ensuring that the power source operates within its specified parameters.

At the termination point, the cord set is equipped with a molded NEMA 6-50P plug. This 2-pole, 3-wire grounding plug is the industry standard for 250-volt, 50-amp welding circuits in North America. The molded design offers superior strain relief compared to field-installable plugs, reducing the risk of conductor breakage at the connection point due to frequent bending or pulling. The plug's solid brass blades ensure low electrical resistance and a secure connection to the receptacle, minimizing heat generation and potential arcing faults.

The cable itself is protected by a standard durable jacket that provides resistance against abrasion, cuts, and incidental exposure to oils and chemicals often found in metalworking facilities. With a length of 12 feet, this cord set offers a practical balance between reach and manageability, allowing the welding machine to be positioned at a convenient distance from the power outlet without creating excessive cable clutter. This product is intended as a direct replacement for damaged or worn power cords on specific Miller equipment, restoring the machine to factory safety standards.

Electrical safety is paramount in welding operations. A compromised power cord with exposed insulation or a damaged plug can pose severe shock hazards and fire risks. Replacing a worn cord with the Miller 280209 ensures compliance with electrical codes and maintains the integrity of the equipment's grounding system. This OEM part guarantees proper fitment and electrical compatibility, eliminating the guesswork associated with generic power cords.
