OVERVIEW

Genuine ESAB Mains Cable for Reliable Power Delivery

The ESAB Mains Cable (0468516887) is a critical OEM replacement component designed specifically for ESAB welding power sources, including the popular Caddy Arc and Caddy Tig series. In industrial environments, the primary power cable is often the first component to suffer from wear and tear due to constant movement, dragging across shop floors, and exposure to hot sparks or heavy equipment. This genuine ESAB part ensures that your machine receives clean, consistent power while maintaining the safety standards required for high-amperage welding equipment.

Using non-OEM power cables can lead to issues such as improper strain relief fitment, inadequate wire gauge for the machine's duty cycle, or insulation that degrades prematurely under UV and chemical exposure. This ESAB mains cable is manufactured to the exact specifications of the original equipment, ensuring a secure connection at the machine's input terminal block and proper sealing at the chassis entry point. This attention to detail prevents dust and moisture ingress, protecting the sensitive inverter electronics inside your welder.

For maintenance professionals and equipment repair specialists, installing the correct mains cable is essential for compliance and longevity. The 0468516887 cable features durable outer sheathing that resists cuts, abrasion, and oil, making it suitable for the rigorous demands of fabrication shops and field sites. Whether you are refurbishing an older unit or repairing a severed cord, this genuine part restores the machine to its factory operating condition.

Technical Compatibility and Safety

This mains cable is engineered to handle the input voltage and current requirements of ESAB's portable inverter machines. It provides the necessary conductivity to prevent voltage drop, which can otherwise affect arc stability and welding performance. By choosing the genuine ESAB 0468516887, you ensure that the grounding conductor and phase conductors are correctly color-coded and sized, simplifying the installation process and guaranteeing operator safety against electrical faults.

FAQ

This cable is primarily designed for ESAB portable inverter machines, such as the Caddy Arc and Caddy Tig series. Please check your machine's parts manual to confirm the part number 0468516887.

Configuration can vary by region, but typically this part number refers to the cable assembly. You may need to install a plug that matches your specific shop outlet (e.g., 230V single phase) if one is not pre-molded.

Yes, this is a genuine ESAB OEM replacement part, ensuring the same quality and safety standards as the original cable supplied with your machine.

Taping a damaged power cable is a temporary and unsafe fix. Moisture and conductive dust can penetrate tape, leading to short circuits or electric shock. Replacement is the only safe option for industrial equipment.

The cable is supplied at the standard factory length for the compatible ESAB machines, typically around 3 meters (approx. 10 feet), providing adequate reach for portable use.

If you are comfortable with basic electrical wiring and safety procedures, it can be installed. However, because it involves mains voltage, we recommend installation by a qualified electrician or equipment repair technician.

OEM cables often include the molded strain relief or are sized perfectly to fit the machine's existing gland. This ensures the cable cannot be pulled out of the terminals accidentally.

Yes, as an industrial welding cable, the outer jacket is designed to be resistant to oil, grease, and abrasion common in workshop environments.
