OVERVIEW

Restore Your Welder's Performance with Genuine ESAB Parts

Keep your ESAB welding equipment running at peak performance with the genuine ESAB 0558007163 Mica Capacitor. If you are experiencing issues with your TIG welder or plasma cutter, such as difficulty starting an arc or an inconsistent high-frequency pilot, the culprit could be a worn-out or failed capacitor in the machine's internal circuitry. This specific capacitor is a critical component designed to handle the intense electrical demands of industrial welding, ensuring that your machine starts reliably every time you pull the trigger.

Built to tough industrial standards, this capacitor features a massive 10,000-volt (10KWV) rating and 0.002 µF capacitance. These specifications aren't just numbers; they represent the component's ability to withstand the powerful voltage surges required to jump-start a welding arc without touching the metal. Standard electronics simply cannot survive inside a welding machine. That is why using this authentic ESAB part is essential. It is engineered to resist the heat, vibration, and electrical stress that occur daily in a fabrication shop, providing a durability that generic aftermarket parts often fail to match.

Maintenance is a reality of owning high-performance tools, and using the right parts is the best way to protect your investment. Installing the correct OEM capacitor ensures that your machine operates exactly as the factory intended, preserving the life of other expensive internal components like transformers and rectifiers. A mismatched capacitor could lead to poor arc quality or even further damage to your power source. By choosing the ESAB 0558007163, you are choosing peace of mind and minimizing downtime.

Whether you are a professional welder performing your own equipment maintenance or a shop manager overseeing repairs, having the right spare parts on hand is crucial. This mica capacitor is a direct replacement for the original part found in specific ESAB models, making installation straightforward for those with experience in electronics repair. Don't let a small electrical component halt your production schedule. Get your machine back in the fight with high-quality, genuine ESAB repair parts and maintain the precision and power you expect from your equipment.

FAQ

It is typically used in the High-Frequency (HF) start circuit to store and release high-voltage energy, allowing the arc to jump the gap between the electrode and the workpiece without contact.

While it is technically possible, it is highly recommended to use the genuine OEM part. Mica capacitors have specific stability characteristics, and the physical form factor of the ESAB part ensures it fits correctly and safely within the machine.

Common symptoms include the machine turning on but failing to start an arc, a weak or intermittent HF spark, or the HF unit making noise without creating a spark at the torch.

This capacitor is rated for 10,000 Working Volts DC (10KWV), which is essential for handling the high-voltage spikes generated during arc initiation.

The capacitance is 0.002 microfarads (µF).

No, it is specific to certain models that utilize this particular value in their HF circuits. Always check your machine's parts manual or consult with a technician to verify compatibility.

Mica capacitors offer superior thermal stability, lower dielectric loss, and better endurance against high-voltage pulses compared to standard ceramic capacitors, making them ideal for HF welding circuits.

Because it stores high voltage, it is critical to discharge the capacitor properly before touching it to avoid electric shock. Installation should be performed by a qualified technician.
