OVERVIEW

Restore Your Welder's Performance

Keep your ESAB welding machine running at peak performance with this genuine replacement resistor. The ESAB 17240240 is a 4k Ohm, 25-watt resistor found in various ESAB power sources. Over time, electrical components like resistors can degrade due to heat cycles, vibration, or power surges, leading to machine faults or failure. If your welder is acting up and troubleshooting points to a faulty resistor in the control or power board, this is the direct replacement you need.

Using genuine ESAB parts takes the guesswork out of repairs. You don't have to worry about finding a generic resistor with the right physical dimensions or power curve—this part is made to fit and function exactly like the original. A 25-watt rating means this is a heavy-duty component built to last, but like all consumables, it may eventually need replacement. Swapping out a burnt resistor is often a cost-effective fix that saves you from buying expensive new circuit boards or replacing the entire machine.

Installation Note: Replacing internal electrical components should always be performed by a qualified technician. Ensure the machine is disconnected from all power sources and capacitors are discharged before attempting repair. This resistor is sold individually and is a crucial spare part to keep on hand for maintenance departments and repair shops servicing ESAB fleets.
