What are Welding Cables Made Of?
Welding cable is a portable cord with a single annealed bare copper conductor that is finely stranded for flexibility. It is often available in larger gauge sizes, commonly available in sizes ranging from 6 AWG to 500 MCM. Welding wire is typically used because of its flexibility and versatility, which comes from its construction of finer strands of copper and EPDM or neoprene rubber jacket that also acts as insulation. In fact, it is generally more flexible than regular electrical wires or power cables.
Welding cable usually has a temperature rating of -50℃ - 105℃. Many of these cables can withstand exposure to grease, oil, water, cuts, tears, and abrasion. These cables are often ideal for installations with exposure to colder weather due to their flexibility. While these cables are typically offered in red and black jackets, they can also be found in additional colors like yellow, blue, and green. The more durable constructions of welding wire are identifiable by an orange jacket.
What is Welding Cable used for?
Often used in demanding applications, welding cable is a secondary voltage-resistance cable for welding tools. It can also be used as a power cable that is attached to generators and industrial machinery. For example, electric arc-welding tools typically rely on two separate cables for operation; one that acts as the primary power source for the device while the other supplies a secondary power source. While welding wire may not power the generator, it is required for the electrode.
Welding cable is approved for use in power supply applications in which the voltage does not exceed 600 volts. Having a neoprene or EPDM jacket makes this type of cable also suitable for tight battery applications. It can also be used in marine applications, but the insulation needs to be oil and water-resistant so the cable doesn't become saturated.
Welding Cable Safety
Safety measures should be taken when using welding cables to prevent possible damage. Cables should regularly be checked for imperfections and cleaned of any grease and oil. Replace any damaged welding cable if it is within three feet of the electrode. These cables meet UL-1581 flame-resistant standards. This gives it an edge over battery cable when it comes to protection from the elements.
