Hypertherm 009017 Pilot Arc Resistor

Part Description

The Hypertherm 009017 Pilot Arc Resistor is a 3 ohm water cooled resistor used in R2 systems. It is designed to provide a high resistance path for the pilot arc, while also dissipating the heat generated by the arc. The resistor is made of a high-quality ceramic material that is resistant to heat and corrosion. It is also water cooled to help keep the temperature of the resistor down.

Applications

The Hypertherm 009017 Pilot Arc Resistor is used in a variety of applications, including:

• Plasma cutting
• Laser cutting
• Welding

Installation

The Hypertherm 009017 Pilot Arc Resistor can be installed in a variety of ways. The most common method is to mount the resistor to a water-cooled heat sink. The resistor can also be mounted directly to the chassis of the plasma cutting or laser cutting system.

Maintenance

The Hypertherm 009017 Pilot Arc Resistor requires very little maintenance. The only maintenance that is typically required is to clean the resistor periodically to remove any dirt or debris that may have accumulated.

Troubleshooting

If the Hypertherm 009017 Pilot Arc Resistor fails, it is typically due to one of the following reasons:

• The resistor has been overloaded.
• The resistor has been damaged by excessive heat.
• The resistor has been damaged by water or other liquids.

If the resistor fails, it should be replaced with a new one.
