OVERVIEW

Reliable Power Switching for Industrial Welders

The ESAB 0560957503 is a premium 3-Pole Contactor designed to serve as the heart of your welding machine's power distribution system. In the demanding environment of industrial welding, the contactor acts as the primary switch that engages the welding transformer or inverter when the torch trigger is pulled. This specific unit features a 24VAC coil, a standard control voltage for many professional-grade power sources, ensuring seamless integration with your existing equipment's control circuitry.

Over time, the internal contact points of a contactor can become pitted, carbonized, or even welded shut due to the high electrical arcing that occurs during switching. This deterioration can lead to erratic arc starts, power loss, or a machine that remains "hot" even when the trigger is released. Replacing a worn contactor with this high-quality 3-pole unit restores the safety and performance of your machine. The three-pole configuration allows it to simultaneously switch three lines of power, making it suitable for three-phase equipment or heavy-duty single-phase applications where multiple poles are used to distribute the load.

Constructed with durable materials, this contactor is engineered to withstand the frequent cycling inherent in tack welding and production fabrication. The housing provides excellent electrical isolation, while the screw terminals ensure a tight, vibration-resistant connection for your power cables. Whether you are performing routine maintenance or troubleshooting a breakdown, installing the correct OEM-spec contactor is vital for the longevity of your welder. Trust Josef Gas to provide the specific repair parts you need to keep your shop running efficiently.

FAQ

This contactor features a 24VAC coil, which is a common control voltage for many industrial welding machines.

Signs of a bad contactor include the machine not welding despite the fan running, the machine staying 'hot' (output active) without the trigger pulled, or a loud buzzing noise coming from the contactor itself.

While it is a 3-pole contactor designed for 3-phase power, it can sometimes be used in single-phase applications if the machine was designed to use a 3-pole contactor to break both legs of power or distribute load. Always check your machine's schematic.

This item is identified by the ESAB part number 0560957503 and is intended as a direct replacement for the original component.

3 Pole means the contactor has three separate internal switches that open and close simultaneously, allowing it to control three separate electrical lines (phases) at once.

Usually, the contactor controls the welding arc power, not the wire feed motor. However, if the contactor is part of the main power distribution, failures can sometimes affect other systems. It is primarily for fixing 'no arc' or 'stuck arc' issues.

Some discoloration is normal, but if the points are deeply pitted, melted, or have heavy carbon buildup that prevents continuity, the contactor should be replaced.

Ensure the machine is unplugged and capacitors are discharged. Label all wires before removing the old unit. Connect the power wires to the line/load terminals and the control wires to the coil terminals, matching the original configuration.
