94800186 - Arcair 94-800-186 Replacement Circuit Breaker

Technical Specifications and Application

The Arcair 94-800-186 Circuit Breaker is an OEM replacement part specifically engineered for Arcair gouging torches. In the realm of air carbon-arc gouging, the equipment must handle significant electrical currents to effectively melt and remove metal. This circuit breaker is integrated into the torch assembly to monitor this electrical flow and trip in the event of an overload, preventing damage to the torch cable and handle components. It is a fundamental part of the torch's electrical safety system.

Designed for compatibility with specific Arcair Angle-Arc torch models, this breaker ensures that the amperage ratings are adhered to, preventing overheating and potential fire hazards associated with electrical faults. The component features a robust design capable of enduring the mechanical vibrations and thermal cycling inherent in gouging operations. When a breaker fails, it often manifests as an inability to strike an arc or the breaker tripping immediately upon activation. Replacing it with the correct 94-800-186 unit restores the torch's operational parameters to factory specifications.

Using non-OEM or incorrect circuit breakers in gouging torches can compromise the safety rating of the equipment. The Arcair 94-800-186 is calibrated to the specific resistance and trip curves required for Arcair torches. This precision ensures that nuisance tripping is minimized while maintaining a high level of protection against genuine faults. For MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) specialists, verifying the condition of the circuit breaker is a standard step in troubleshooting torch power issues.

This replacement part is supplied as a single unit, ready for installation. It connects within the handle assembly, bridging the power connection with a resettable or protective switch mechanism. Proper maintenance of the torch's electrical components, including the circuit breaker, is essential for consistent metal removal rates and operator safety. Ensure your gouging operations run smoothly by utilizing genuine Arcair replacement parts for all repairs and refurbishments.
