950591 - ESAB 510V Metal Oxide Varistor Replacement Component

Reliable Circuit Protection for Industrial Equipment

The ESAB 950591 MOV (Metal Oxide Varistor) is a critical electronic component designed to safeguard the internal circuitry of high-performance welding machines. Rated at 510VAC with an energy absorption capacity of 190 Joules, this varistor acts as a first line of defense against transient voltage spikes and electrical surges. In industrial environments where power quality can be inconsistent, voltage fluctuations pose a significant risk to sensitive printed circuit boards (PCBs) and control modules. This genuine ESAB replacement part ensures that your equipment remains protected, minimizing the risk of catastrophic board failure and costly downtime.

Technical Precision and Compatibility

Engineered to meet the specific requirements of ESAB power sources, this MOV provides a precise clamping voltage that triggers when the input exceeds safe levels. By shunting excess current away from sensitive components, it effectively neutralizes surges caused by lightning, switching transients, or unstable generator power. The 510VAC rating makes it suitable for machines operating on higher voltage industrial lines, ensuring robust performance under demanding conditions. As a genuine OEM part, it guarantees the correct physical dimensions and electrical characteristics required for a seamless repair, eliminating the guesswork associated with generic electronic components.

Essential Maintenance Component

For maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) professionals, stocking the ESAB 950591 is a proactive measure. Varistors are sacrificial components; they degrade over time as they absorb surges and may eventually fail (often visibly charring or opening the circuit) to save the rest of the machine. Replacing a compromised MOV is a simple, low-cost repair that restores the protective integrity of the welding power source. Whether you are troubleshooting a dead machine or performing preventative maintenance on aging fleets, this high-quality varistor is an indispensable component in your electronic repair inventory.
