680381 - ESAB ESP-150 Control Transformer 60Hz Replacement

Genuine ESAB Control Transformer for ESP-150 Systems

The ESAB 680381 XFMR Control 60Hz is a critical replacement component designed exclusively for the ESAB ESP-150 plasma cutting system. In the demanding environment of industrial metal fabrication, the reliability of your power source is paramount. This control transformer serves as the heartbeat of your machine's logic circuits, stepping down high-voltage input power to the precise lower voltages required by the control boards, solenoids, and relays. Without a functioning control transformer, the plasma cutter cannot initialize its operating sequence, rendering the equipment unusable.

Manufactured to ESAB's rigorous original equipment specifications, this transformer is rated for 60Hz operation, making it the correct choice for North American power grids. Using genuine OEM parts like the 680381 ensures that the electrical impedance, thermal dissipation, and voltage regulation match exactly what the ESP-150 engineering team intended. Aftermarket or generic transformers often lack the specific mounting footprint or the precise winding ratios needed for these heavy-duty plasma systems, potentially leading to intermittent faults or damage to expensive printed circuit boards (PCBs).

When troubleshooting an ESP-150 that fails to power on or exhibits erratic control behavior, the control transformer is a key component to inspect. Over time, industrial electrical components can degrade due to thermal cycling and vibration. Replacing a failing unit with this authentic ESAB part restores the machine to full functionality, minimizing downtime in your production line. This unit features robust insulation and high-quality copper windings designed to withstand the harsh conditions of a welding and cutting shop environment.

Installation of the 680381 is straightforward for qualified maintenance personnel, as it utilizes the original mounting points and terminal connections found inside the ESP-150 chassis. By choosing the correct OEM part, you eliminate the need for retrofitting or modifying wiring harnesses, ensuring a safe and compliant repair. Trust in ESAB's legacy of quality to keep your plasma cutting operations running smoothly and efficiently.
