Welding Cable 12 AWG
What is 12AWG Welding Cable？
12AWG welding cable is typical welding cables constructed as single-core insulated cables with a relatively large diameter, intended for connecting welding machines, welding electrodes, ground clamps and automated welding heads. These cables usually come in various colors to help users distinguish between the live wire and the ground wire.. Known for their excellent flexibility and softness, Welding cables feature durable insulation that is abrasion and oil resistant. They are classified for 600 volts. Available colors include red, negro, orange, yellow, green and blue.
12AWG welding cable features a stranded bare copper conductor, a paper tape separator and an EPDM rubber cover (ethylene propylene diene monomer) which acts as an insulator. This welding cable has a voltage rating of 600 V and a temperature range of -50 °C a +105 °C. It is suitable for use in secondary voltage resistance welding cable and power supply applications.. This flexible welding cable is also abrasion resistant and RoHS compliant.

What are the main applications of welding cable?
Los 12AWG welding cables They are mainly used to connect secondary circuits (welding) of AC and DC welding machines, particularly for stationary welders with long cables. With its nominal capacity of 600 volts, welding cables can also serve as portable power cables. Can be used as a replacement for battery cables, especially for starting and winching applications, but it is essential to secure them correctly to avoid any abrasion against the vehicle body.
