OVERVIEW

Genuine Miller 226747 Polarity Switch for Bobcat 250 Diesel

The Miller 226747 is a specialized Polarity Switch assembly designed exclusively for the Bobcat 250 Diesel Engine Driven Welder/Generator. In the demanding environment of industrial welding, the polarity switch is a high-wear component. It is responsible for channeling high amperage currents to the appropriate terminals, allowing the operator to toggle between DC Electrode Positive (DCEP), DC Electrode Negative (DCEN), and AC welding outputs. Over time, the mechanical contacts within the switch can degrade due to arcing, thermal cycling, and the constant vibration inherent to engine-driven equipment. This degradation can lead to increased resistance, heat buildup, and eventually, a complete failure of the machine to switch processes or output power.

This replacement kit is not merely the switch body; it is a comprehensive repair solution. Miller provides the switch pre-configured with the necessary leads and jumpers. This is critical for a proper repair because when a polarity switch fails due to overheating, the connecting wires often suffer insulation damage or terminal fatigue. By replacing the entire assembly with the 226747 kit, you ensure that the electrical path is restored to factory specifications. The leads are cut to the exact length required for the Bobcat 250 chassis and feature factory-crimped terminals for a secure, low-resistance connection.

Using genuine Miller OEM parts like the 226747 ensures compatibility and safety. Aftermarket switches may not handle the specific duty cycle or amperage load of the Bobcat 250, leading to premature failure or safety hazards. This part maintains the integrity of your machine's internal wiring and preserves the reliability you expect from Miller Electric equipment. Whether you are performing a scheduled overhaul or an emergency repair, this kit provides the components needed to restore full functionality to your welder's output selection.

Installation involves accessing the internal control panel of the welder. Because this kit includes the jumpers, technicians can replace the entire switching loop, eliminating potential weak points in the circuit. Trust in genuine Miller parts to keep your diesel engine drive running at peak performance.

FAQ

The Miller 226747 is specifically designed for the Bobcat 250 Diesel Engine Driven Welder/Generator. Please verify your machine's serial number to ensure fitment.

Yes, this part number is a complete kit that includes the polarity switch, the necessary leads, and jumpers pre-attached or included for installation.

OEM switches like the Miller 226747 are rated for the specific amperage and duty cycle of the Bobcat 250. Generic switches may not handle the load, leading to overheating and potential fire hazards.

Common symptoms include the inability to change polarity (e.g., stuck in DC+), arcing sounds from the control panel, excessive heat at the switch knob, or intermittent welding output.

Installation requires opening the machine case and working with internal wiring. While the kit is designed for a direct fit, we recommend installation by a qualified technician due to the high voltages involved.

No, this is specifically the Polarity Switch (AC/DC+/DC-). The coarse range selector is a different component.

This part is listed specifically for the Diesel version. The gas version may use a different part number. Always check your parts manual or contact support with your serial number.

The package contains one (1) Polarity Switch assembly with leads and jumpers.
