278902 - Miller 161S Replacement Power Cord 120V 14AWG

Get Your Miller 161S Back Up and Running

There is nothing more frustrating than a damaged power cord stopping your work dead in its tracks. Whether your cord got nicked by a piece of hot slag, chewed up by a shop door, or just wore out from years of being dragged around the job site, the Miller 278902 is the exact replacement you need to get your Miller 161S welder powered up again. This isn't a generic hardware store extension cord; it is the genuine Miller article, built to the same standards as the cord that came on your machine when it was brand new. It features the correct connections on both ends, meaning you won't be fumbling around trying to strip wires or guess which terminal goes where inside your machine.

This power cable is 2 meters long (about 6.5 feet), giving you enough slack to reach the nearest wall outlet while keeping your setup tidy. It comes molded with a standard household-style plug (NEMA 5-15P), so you can plug it right into any standard 120-volt, 15-amp outlet in your garage, shop, or client's site. The 14-gauge wire is thick enough to deliver the steady power your inverter needs to strike a smooth arc, but flexible enough to coil up easily when you are packing up for the day. The 3-wire design ensures your machine is properly grounded, keeping you safe from shocks while you are welding.

Don't risk your expensive welder—or your safety—by trying to tape up a frayed cord or splicing in a cheap replacement that might not handle the amperage. A compromised power cable can cause voltage drops that make your arc unstable, or worse, create a fire hazard. Swapping out your old, damaged cord for this fresh Miller 278902 is a quick, easy repair that restores your machine's reliability instantly. It’s a small investment to keep your Maxstar 161S running like a champ. Keep one in your truck or tool crib so you are never stuck without power when a job needs to get done.
