17240310 - 25W 10K Ohm Wire Wound Power Resistor

Reliable Repair Parts for Welding Equipment

When your welding machine goes down, diagnosing the issue is only half the battle; finding the right replacement part is crucial to getting back to work. The 25W 10K Ohm Wire Wound Resistor is a common component found in the power boards and control circuits of many welders and plasma cutters. These resistors often serve critical roles, such as managing voltage levels or safely draining power from capacitors when the machine is turned off.

Over time, power resistors can fail due to heat stress, vibration, or electrical surges. A failed resistor can cause your machine to stop outputting power, display error codes, or fail to turn on altogether. This replacement part features a 25 Watt power rating, meaning it is built to handle the heat generated during operation. The 10K Ohm resistance is a specific value used in many circuit designs, so be sure to check your machine's schematic or the markings on the old part to ensure a match.

Constructed with a wire wound design, this resistor is far more durable than standard electronics store components. It is built to withstand the harsh electrical environment of a welding shop. The 5% tolerance ensures that the electrical characteristics of your machine remain within factory specifications after the repair. Whether you are fixing an older transformer-based machine or a modern inverter, using the correct power resistor is essential for safety and performance.

Installation Note: Always ensure the machine is unplugged and capacitors are discharged before replacing internal components. This resistor is designed for fixed installation and features leads for secure connection. Keep your shop running smoothly with high-quality replacement parts designed for the job.
