17280010 - ESAB 100W 10 Ohm Wire Wound Resistor Replacement

High-Performance Industrial Power Resistor

The ESAB 17280010 Wire Wound Resistor is a critical electrical component designed for high-power industrial applications, specifically within the circuitry of heavy-duty welding equipment. Engineered to handle significant electrical loads, this resistor features a robust 100 Watt power rating, making it suitable for power supply regulation, current limiting, and dynamic braking applications where thermal stability and durability are paramount. The wire wound construction ensures that the component can withstand the rigors of continuous operation and the thermal cycling often found in industrial environments.

With a resistance value of 10 Ohms and a standard tolerance of 5%, this fixed resistor provides the precision necessary for maintaining stable machine performance. Wire wound resistors are known for their low noise and high reliability compared to other resistor types, making them the preferred choice for maintenance and repair operations (MRO) involving sensitive yet powerful machinery. Whether you are troubleshooting a power source failure or performing preventative maintenance on an ESAB welding machine, utilizing the correct specification component is essential for safety and longevity.

Technical Reliability

Industrial electronics require components that do not drift significantly under load. The ESAB 17280010 offers excellent stability, ensuring that the resistance value remains within the specified 5% tolerance even as the component heats up during operation. This predictability is vital for the complex control circuits found in modern welding power sources.
