Welding Cable Application

✔ NBR

Designed for the secondary (high current) connection to automatic or hand-held metal arc welding electrodes. It is suitable for flexible use under rugged conditions, on assembly lines and conveyor systems, in machine tools and automatically operated line and spot welding machines.

✔ Standard length cable packing

• Coils 100 m, 200 m, 300 m and 500 m

• Packed in wooden reels

Current Rating

The maximum current ratings of flexible welding cables for different duty cycles are based on an ambient air temperature of 25°C and a maximum conductor temperature of 90°C. The percentage duty cycles for various processes and applications are as follows:

• Automobile Welding: up to 100%

• Semi-automatic Welding: 30% to 85%

• Manual Welding: 0% to 60%

• Very intermittent or Occasional Welding: up to 20%

Voltage Drop

When total cable lengths in excess of 15 meters are involved, it may be necessary to use cables of larger cross section to ensure that the voltage drop is not excessive and welding currents are maintained at adequate levels.
