0560957506 - ESAB 2A Time Delay Class CC Fuse - 600V

Industrial Circuit Protection for Welding Equipment

The ESAB 0560957506 is a high-performance 2 Amp Type CC Fuse featuring a time-delay characteristic, specifically engineered for the rigorous demands of industrial welding machinery. In the complex electrical architecture of modern power sources, safeguarding control transformers and sensitive electronic circuits is paramount. This Class CC fuse offers a superior combination of current-limiting protection and the ability to withstand temporary inrush currents, ensuring that your equipment remains operational without compromising safety.

Class CC fuses are distinguished by their rejection-style ferrules, a safety design that prevents the accidental insertion of lower-rated or dimensionally incorrect fuses into the circuit. This ensures that the specific protection curve required by the manufacturer is always maintained. With a voltage rating of 600V AC and a high interrupting rating (typically 200 kA), this component is capable of safely clearing catastrophic short circuits that could otherwise cause extensive damage to the welding power source or pose a fire hazard.

The "Time Delay" (or slow-blow) aspect of this fuse is critical for inductive loads found in welding equipment, such as solenoids, control transformers, and small motors. These components often draw a momentary surge of current upon startup that exceeds their normal operating amperage. A standard fast-acting fuse would blow instantly under these conditions, causing unnecessary downtime. The ESAB 0560957506 is calibrated to tolerate these brief surges while still providing rapid response to sustained overloads or short circuits, striking the perfect balance between operational continuity and equipment protection.

As a genuine ESAB replacement part, this fuse guarantees compatibility with the specific fuse holders and circuit designs of ESAB welding machines. Using OEM-specified protection devices is essential for maintaining the validity of equipment warranties and ensuring the longevity of the machine's internal components. Whether for routine maintenance stock or emergency repair, this 2 Amp Type CC fuse is a vital component for any industrial MRO inventory.
