OVERVIEW

Restore Precision to Your Millermatic 250

The Miller 31563 Shunt is a critical replacement component designed specifically for the classic Millermatic 250 welding machine. In the world of precision welding, knowing your exact output parameters is half the battle. This shunt acts as the sensory organ for your welder's ammeter, translating the massive flow of welding current into a readable signal for your display. Over time, electrical components can degrade due to heat cycles, corrosion, or electrical faults, leading to inaccurate readings or a completely dead meter.

When your machine's display no longer matches the reality of the arc, it becomes difficult to replicate successful welds or adhere to strict Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS). Installing a fresh, genuine Miller shunt ensures that when your dial says 200 amps, you are actually delivering 200 amps. This part is manufactured to Miller's original equipment specifications, guaranteeing a perfect fit within the chassis of the Millermatic 250 without the need for modification.

Whether you are refurbishing an older shop workhorse or repairing a sudden failure, using the correct shunt is vital for the longevity and reliability of the machine. Don't guess at your settings; restore the feedback loop that allows you to weld with confidence. This heavy-duty resistor is built to handle the thermal stress of industrial welding environments.

Why Choose Genuine Miller Parts?

Miller Electric is known for durability, and their internal components are no exception. By choosing the specific part number 31563 (often referenced as 031563), you are ensuring that the resistance values are perfectly calibrated to the machine's logic board and meter, preventing the need for difficult recalibration procedures.

FAQ

The shunt measures the welding output current by creating a small, precise voltage drop (50mV) that the machine's meter translates into an amperage reading.

No, this shunt is specifically designed for the Millermatic 250. Other machines may require shunts with different amperage or millivolt ratings.

If your welding machine's ammeter is displaying incorrect values, fluctuating wildly, or showing zero while you are welding, the shunt or its connections may be at fault.

It is rated for 250 Amps with a 50 millivolt drop.

Installation involves working inside the welding machine near high-current components. It is recommended that a qualified technician perform the replacement to ensure safety and proper calibration.

Yes, this is a Miller OEM replacement part, ensuring it meets the original factory specifications for the Millermatic 250.

While it doesn't generate the arc, it is part of the output circuit. A loose or damaged shunt can cause resistance heating and voltage drops that might slightly affect performance, but its primary role is metering.
