951182 - ESAB 230V Replacement Cooling Fan 230CFM

Optimized Thermal Management for ESAB Equipment

The ESAB 951182 is a high-performance replacement cooling fan designed to maintain the operational integrity of compatible ESAB welding power sources. In industrial welding environments, thermal management is critical to the longevity and reliability of power electronics. This unit is engineered to deliver a substantial airflow of 230 Cubic Feet per Minute (CFM), ensuring that heat generated during the welding process is effectively dissipated from the machine's internal components.

Operating on a 230V input, this fan is specified for equipment that requires robust cooling solutions to maintain rated duty cycles. Overheating is a primary cause of component failure in inverters and transformers; a functioning cooling system is the first line of defense against thermal stress. By utilizing this genuine OEM part, maintenance personnel can ensure that the replacement component meets the exact electrical and mechanical specifications of the original equipment, avoiding the risks associated with generic or mismatched fans.

Technical Reliability and Fit

As an OEM component, the 951182 guarantees correct mounting dimensions and electrical connectivity for the intended ESAB models. The 230V specification aligns with standard industrial power configurations found within the welding chassis. The fan's construction is built to withstand the typical rigors of a workshop environment, where dust and continuous operation are common factors. Replacing a failing or seized fan with this unit restores the machine's ability to regulate its temperature, thereby protecting expensive internal circuitry such as IGBTs, rectifiers, and control boards.

For facility managers and repair technicians, stocking critical spares like the 951182 ensures minimal downtime. When a cooling fan fails, the welding machine often enters a thermal protection mode, halting production. Quick replacement with the correct 230 CFM unit allows for immediate resumption of work, maintaining productivity schedules and equipment health.
