17300016 - ESAB 300W Fixed Wirewound Resistor Spare Part

Genuine ESAB 300W Wirewound Resistor for Industrial Welding Equipment

The ESAB 17300016 is a high-performance fixed wirewound resistor designed to meet the rigorous demands of industrial welding power sources. Rated at 300 watts, this component plays a critical role in the electrical regulation and load management within your welding machine. Whether used for current limitation, voltage dropping, or as a bleeding resistor, its robust construction ensures it can handle the thermal stresses and high currents typical of heavy-duty welding operations.

Wirewound resistors are preferred in welding applications due to their superior pulse handling capability and stability over a wide temperature range. The ESAB 17300016 features a resistive wire wound around a non-conductive ceramic core, which is then coated to protect against moisture, dust, and mechanical vibration. This design provides a fixed resistance value that remains consistent even as the component heats up during extended welding cycles. Using genuine OEM parts like this resistor is essential for maintaining the factory specifications of your equipment, ensuring that safety margins and performance characteristics are preserved.

When a resistor fails in a welding machine, it can lead to a variety of issues ranging from erratic arc performance to complete machine failure. Replacing a faulty unit with the correct ESAB 17300016 part restores the machine's functionality and reliability. This specific unit is identified by the part number 17300016 and is engineered to fit perfectly into the designated mounting points of compatible ESAB models, making the repair process straightforward for qualified technicians.
