0558003075 - ESAB 2 Amp 600V Fast-Acting Replacement Fuse

Critical Circuit Protection for Industrial Equipment

The ESAB 0558003075 Fuse is a specialized electrical safety component designed to protect the internal circuitry of high-performance welding and plasma cutting equipment. Rated at 2 Amperes and 600 Volts AC, this midget-style fuse employs a fast-acting (fast-blow) mechanism. In the event of an overcurrent condition or short circuit, the fuse element vaporizes almost instantaneously, severing the electrical connection and preventing catastrophic damage to downstream components such as control boards, rectifiers, and logic circuits.

OEM Quality and Reliability

When maintaining industrial machinery, utilizing Genuine ESAB parts is essential for preserving the equipment's operational integrity and safety certifications. Generic fuses may not possess the exact time-current characteristics required by ESAB's engineering specifications. A fuse that blows too slowly can allow damaging energy to pass through to sensitive electronics, while one that blows too quickly may cause nuisance tripping during normal inrush currents. The 0558003075 is engineered specifically for the power dynamics of ESAB PowerCut systems and compatible welding power sources.

Technical Specifications and Application

This fuse features a high voltage rating of 600VAC, making it suitable for use in equipment connected to industrial mains power, ensuring proper arc quenching during interruption. The "midget" form factor (typically 10mm x 38mm or 13/32" x 1-1/2") is a standard in compact industrial control panels. It is commonly located on the input power block or the main control PCB of the machine. MRO professionals should verify the specific amperage requirements of their machine's sub-circuits before installation, as ESAB machines often utilize multiple fuses of varying ratings.

Inventory and Maintenance

Electrical faults can occur unexpectedly due to power spikes, component aging, or accidental shorts during service. A blown fuse is often the only barrier between a minor maintenance reset and a major repair bill. Stocking the ESAB 0558003075 ensures that downtime is minimized. Instead of waiting days for a replacement part, maintenance teams can restore machine functionality immediately, keeping production lines moving and reducing overhead costs associated with equipment failure.
