0558005459 - ESAB PT-36 Low-Current Plasma Electrode (5-Pack)

Precision Plasma Cutting with ESAB PT-36 Electrodes

The ESAB 0558005459 is a specialized low-current electrode designed exclusively for the PT-36 plasma arc cutting torch. As a critical component of the ESAB m3 Plasma system, this electrode is engineered to deliver superior performance in automated cutting environments. The "low-current" designation indicates that this consumable is optimized for specific amperage ranges, typically used when cutting thinner gauge materials or when high-definition precision is required rather than raw severance power.

Using genuine OEM consumables like the 0558005459 ensures that your high-tech plasma system operates within its factory specifications. The electrode acts as the focal point for the plasma arc, and its geometry and material composition are vital for maintaining arc stability. Inconsistent or generic electrodes can lead to wandering arcs, poor cut angularity, and reduced consumable life. This pack contains five (5) electrodes, allowing operators to minimize downtime during maintenance cycles.

The PT-36 torch is known for its versatility and high-quality output in mechanized applications. To maintain this standard, the electrode must effectively transfer current while withstanding the intense heat of the plasma arc. ESAB utilizes high-grade materials and precise manufacturing tolerances to ensure that each electrode in this pack provides consistent starting reliability and a predictable lifespan.

Technical Compatibility

These electrodes are specifically keyed for the PT-36 torch body. Operators should verify their current cutting charts to ensure this low-current version matches their specific material thickness and amperage settings. Using the correct electrode for the programmed current is essential for preventing premature nozzle damage and ensuring the best possible cut edge quality.
