The Multiquip 0601823208 Rectifier GAW-135H is a genuine OEM rectifier designed for Multiquip gasoline arc welder models GAW180HEA, GAW180HE1, GAW180HE, and GAW135H. As a factory-authorized component, it meets the exact electrical specifications required to maintain proper DC output and welding performance on these machines. DHS Equipment supplies this part direct, so you can be confident you are receiving the correct component for your welder.
Key Features
- Correct Electrical Output Specification — Engineered to match the precise rectification rating required by Multiquip GAW-series arc welders, ensuring stable DC welding current.
- Genuine OEM Component — Factory-sourced from Multiquip, this rectifier meets the same design and material standards as the original unit installed at the factory.
- Direct Drop-In Replacement — Designed to install in the same position and connect to the same terminals as the original rectifier, with no re-wiring or fabrication needed.
- Broad GAW-Series Compatibility — Fits GAW180HEA, GAW180HE1, GAW180HE, and GAW135H gasoline arc welders, covering multiple variants within the Multiquip GAW family.
- Electrical System Integrity — A correctly functioning rectifier is critical for safe and consistent DC output; a failed unit can cause arc instability, voltage fluctuation, or complete loss of welding function.
The rectifier in a gasoline arc welder converts the alternating current (AC) produced by the generator end of the machine into the direct current (DC) required for stick welding operations. It acts as the electrical bridge between the engine-driven generator and the welding output terminals, and its condition directly determines the quality and stability of the welding arc. When a rectifier begins to fail, operators typically experience erratic arc behavior, reduced output voltage, or a complete inability to strike and hold an arc — all of which signal that replacement is needed promptly to restore full welding capability.
