17290210 - ESAB 20W 10 Ohm Wire Wound Resistor Replacement Part

Genuine ESAB Replacement Component

Maintain the integrity and performance of your industrial welding equipment with the ESAB 17290210 Wire Wound Resistor. As a genuine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) spare part, this component is engineered to meet the exact specifications required by ESAB power sources and control systems. Using non-genuine parts in sophisticated welding machinery can lead to calibration errors, reduced duty cycles, or even catastrophic failure of sensitive circuit boards. This resistor is designed to fit perfectly and function seamlessly within your existing ESAB setup, ensuring that your downtime is minimized and your productivity remains high.

The 17290210 is a 20-watt fixed resistor featuring a resistance value of 10 Ohms. Wire wound resistors are the preferred choice for applications requiring high power dissipation and precision. Unlike carbon composition or film resistors, wire wound variants are constructed by winding a metal wire around a ceramic core. This construction method provides exceptional stability over time and resistance to thermal shock—critical factors in welding environments where machines often undergo rapid temperature changes and power surges. The 5% tolerance rating ensures that the electrical resistance remains within a tight margin of error, guaranteeing consistent performance across all welding parameters.

Whether you are a maintenance technician performing routine service or a shop manager troubleshooting a breakdown, relying on authentic ESAB parts is the best way to protect your investment. This resistor is typically found in control circuits, fan speed regulation, or snubber circuits within the power source. Its robust construction ensures a long service life, reducing the frequency of repairs and the total cost of ownership for your welding fleet. Ensure your equipment continues to deliver the precision arcs and reliable starts you expect from ESAB by choosing only verified replacement components.
