OVERVIEW

Reliable Cuts with Genuine ESAB Parts

When you are in the middle of a project, the last thing you need is a sputtering plasma torch. The ESAB 0558001617 Electrode is the heartbeat of your PT-20AM torch, and keeping a fresh one installed is the secret to buttery-smooth cuts. Whether you are slicing through thin sheet metal for an auto body repair or fabricating brackets in the shop, these genuine ESAB electrodes deliver the consistency you expect from your machine.

Plasma electrodes naturally wear out over time as the arc eats away at the center insert. If you notice your cuts getting ugly, green flames appearing (a sign of burning copper), or the machine struggling to start an arc, it is time to swap it out. Using genuine ESAB parts means you don't have to worry about fitment issues or poor conductivity that comes with cheap knock-offs. These electrodes are built to handle the heat and keep you cutting longer.

This convenient pack of two ensures you always have a backup on hand. Don't let a $10 part stop a paying job. Keep your HandyPlasma or PT-20AM equipped rig running at peak performance with fresh consumables. Easy to install and built to last, these electrodes help you get the job done right the first time.

FAQ

This electrode is designed specifically for the ESAB PT-20AM plasma torch.

This package contains 2 electrodes.

You should replace the electrode when the hafnium pit in the center becomes deeper than approximately 1mm (1/32 inch) or if the arc becomes unstable and cut quality degrades.

No, plasma consumables are generally torch-specific. This part is engineered only for the PT-20AM model.

Rapid wear can be caused by moisture in the air supply, incorrect amperage settings, or touching the torch tip to the workpiece (drag cutting) without using drag-shield consumables.

Yes, this is a genuine ESAB OEM consumable, ensuring the best fit and performance for your equipment.

The body is made of copper for conductivity, with a hafnium insert that serves as the arc emitter.
