W7005520 - Thermal Arc 186 AC/DC Replacement Cooling Fan

Genuine Replacement Fan for Thermal Arc 186 AC/DC

The ESAB W7005520 Fan Assembly is a critical replacement component designed specifically for the Thermal Arc 186 AC/DC TIG and Stick welding machine. As an inverter-based power source, the 186 AC/DC relies heavily on active air cooling to dissipate heat generated by the IGBTs and other power electronics. A functioning fan is essential to prevent thermal overload shutdowns and to ensure the machine can perform at its rated duty cycle during extended welding sessions.

This assembly is a genuine OEM part, ensuring exact physical dimensions and electrical specifications for a seamless repair. Unlike generic fans which may not provide adequate static pressure or airflow (CFM), this unit is engineered to match the thermal dynamics of the 186 chassis. It connects directly to the machine's internal power management system, operating at the correct voltage and speed required for optimal thermal management.

Failure to replace a malfunctioning fan can lead to catastrophic component failure or frequent thermal tripping, interrupting workflow. This replacement part restores the factory cooling performance, protecting your investment and ensuring consistent arc stability and machine reliability. It is recommended for maintenance technicians and qualified repair personnel servicing Thermal Arc equipment.
