The ESAB 952252 Current Transducer (100A) is a critical electronic component designed for specific ESAB welding power sources. In modern inverter and chopper-based welding machines, precise control over the welding arc is achieved through complex feedback loops. The current transducer, often functioning as a Hall Effect sensor, is the device responsible for measuring the actual output current in real-time and sending that data back to the main control board. This allows the machine to adjust its power modules instantaneously to maintain the set amperage, ensuring a stable and consistent arc regardless of minor variations in arc length or input power.
When a current transducer fails or drifts out of calibration, the welding machine loses its ability to regulate output effectively. This can result in erratic arc performance, inability to reach set amperage, or the machine shutting down completely to protect itself from perceived over-current conditions. By installing a genuine ESAB 952252 replacement, you ensure that the control system receives accurate data, restoring the machine's performance to factory specifications. This component is rated for 100 Amps and is engineered to withstand the electrical noise and thermal conditions found inside industrial welding equipment.
Using OEM parts like the 952252 is essential for maintaining the reliability and safety of your equipment. Generic sensors may not have the correct calibration curves, response times, or noise immunity required by ESAB's proprietary control algorithms. An incorrect reading from a generic sensor could lead to poor weld quality or even damage to the expensive IGBTs or MOSFETs in the power section. This genuine part guarantees a direct physical fit and correct electrical interface, making the repair process straightforward for qualified technicians.
This transducer is typically located on the output busbar or within the power module assembly of the welder. It is designed for specific ESAB models; always verify the part number against your machine's spare parts list or service manual before ordering. Proper installation ensures that your welding operations continue with the high precision and efficiency you expect from ESAB equipment.
