OVERVIEW

High-Performance Electrodes for PT-600 Systems

The Esab 0558002516 Electrode is a critical consumable component designed exclusively for the PT-600 plasma cutting torch. Engineered to handle the rigorous demands of heavy industrial cutting, this electrode is rated for operation at 360 Amps and 400 Amps. In high-amperage plasma systems, the electrode serves as the focal point for the arc, transferring immense energy to the workpiece. Using genuine OEM parts like the 0558002516 ensures that your equipment maintains the thermal conductivity and arc stability required for precision fabrication.

Industrial plasma cutters operating at these power levels generate significant heat. Esab manufactures these electrodes using high-grade conductive materials and durable inserts to resist erosion and extend service life. Regular inspection and replacement of the electrode are vital to preventing damage to the torch head and maintaining cut quality. A worn electrode can lead to a misaligned arc, excessive dross, or even catastrophic failure of the torch consumables stack.

This product is supplied as a package of 5, providing operators with necessary spares to maintain continuous production schedules. By keeping fresh consumables on hand, facilities can minimize downtime associated with maintenance intervals. Whether cutting thick carbon steel, stainless steel, or aluminum, the Esab PT-600 electrode delivers the reliability expected from a world leader in welding and cutting technologies.

Key Technical Aspects:

  • Compatibility: Direct fit for Esab PT-600 torches.
  • Amperage Range: Optimized for 360A and 400A settings.
  • Quality Assurance: Manufactured to tight tolerances for consistent gas flow and arc alignment.

FAQ

This electrode is specifically designed for the Esab PT-600 plasma torch.

It is rated for use at 360 Amps and 400 Amps.

This product is sold as a pack of 5 electrodes.

Yes, this is a genuine OEM Esab consumable, part number 0558002516.

The electrode should be replaced when the emitter pit depth exceeds the manufacturer's recommended limit (typically around 1/16" to 3/32"), or if cut quality significantly degrades.

While physically compatible with the torch, electrodes are typically optimized for specific amperage ranges. Using a 400A electrode at significantly lower amperages may result in poor arc starting or unstable cutting. Always match the consumable to your cutting parameters.

This electrode supports the cutting of all standard conductive metals, including mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum, depending on the gas selection and torch setup.

Yes, the PT-600 is commonly used on automated gantry systems, and this electrode is designed for those high-duty cycle applications.
