The ESAB 951180 Circuit Breaker is a critical component designed to safeguard high-performance welding power sources and industrial machinery. Engineered with a 2-pole configuration and a 50-amp rating, this breaker serves as a primary line of defense against electrical overloads and short circuits. In the demanding environment of industrial fabrication and MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations), maintaining the electrical integrity of your equipment is paramount. This component ensures that current flow remains within safe operational limits, tripping automatically when limits are exceeded to prevent catastrophic damage to internal electronics and transformers.
As a genuine replacement part, this circuit breaker is manufactured to meet the rigorous specifications required by ESAB welding machines. Using non-OEM electrical components in sophisticated power sources can lead to nuisance tripping, improper voltage regulation, or failure to trip during a fault, posing significant safety risks. The 951180 offers precise calibration for the specific inrush currents and duty cycles associated with welding operations, ensuring that your machine remains powered during standard operation while reacting swiftly to genuine faults.
Installation of this 2-pole breaker should be performed by qualified personnel familiar with industrial electrical systems. Its robust casing is designed to resist the vibration and thermal fluctuations often present in workshop environments. Whether you are troubleshooting a power-up failure or performing preventative maintenance on an aging fleet of welders, replacing a worn or faulty breaker with this exact-spec unit restores the reliability and safety compliance of your equipment.
