231436 - Miller 231436 Auto-Reset Circuit Breaker 12VDC 15A

Reliable Protection for Your Miller Equipment

The Miller 231436 Circuit Breaker is a critical component designed to safeguard the internal electronics of your welding machinery. As a genuine Miller Electric replacement part, this circuit breaker ensures that your equipment operates within safe electrical parameters, preventing costly damage to motors, control boards, and other sensitive components. Rated for 12 Volts DC and 15 Amps, it is specifically engineered to handle the low-voltage control circuits found in many Miller power sources and wire feeders.

Auto-Reset Functionality

One of the key features of this component is its auto-reset capability. Unlike manual breakers that require operator intervention to reset after a trip, this unit automatically attempts to restore the circuit once the thermal element has cooled down. This is particularly advantageous in welding environments where the breaker might be located inside the machine housing, making immediate access difficult. It allows for temporary interruptions caused by minor overloads to resolve themselves without significant downtime, keeping your production line moving efficiently.

Genuine OEM Quality

When repairing industrial welding equipment, using Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts is essential for maintaining safety standards and performance reliability. The Miller 231436 is built to the exact specifications required by Miller engineers. Generic aftermarket breakers may not have the precise trip curves or thermal characteristics needed to protect your specific machine, potentially leading to under-protection (damage to the machine) or over-protection (nuisance tripping). By choosing this genuine Miller part, you ensure that the electrical integrity of your welder is maintained exactly as the manufacturer intended.

Application and Installation

This 15 Amp breaker is typically utilized in the 12VDC control or motor circuits of various Miller welding machines. Electrical components can degrade over time due to heat cycles and vibration. If your machine is experiencing intermittent power loss to specific subsystems or if the existing breaker has failed open, this replacement part offers a direct fit solution. Always verify compatibility by checking your machine's parts manual for part number 231436 before installation. Proper maintenance of your welder's electrical protection system is vital for the longevity of your investment.
