These values for current carrying capacity are based on a copper temperature of 60 c 140 f an ambient temperature of 40 c 104 f and yield load factors from approximately 32 for the 2 awg cable to approximately 23 for the 3 0 awg.
The sizes of cables generally used ranged from 2 awg to 3 0 awg.
The important specs to go by when choosing the appropriate wire that is suitable for your applications are the wire gauge amp voltage rating and the length needed.
Description these values for current carrying capacity are based on a copper temperature of 60 c 140 f an ambient temperature of 40 c 104 f and yield load factors from approximately 32 for the 2 awg cable to approximately 23 for.
Common us awg wire gauges and amps ratings.
If you have the specifications readily available you can simply choose the appropriate wire with your specs from the welding cable size chart.
Besides the cross sectional area other factors that impact the ampacity of welding cable are its length ohm rating i e resistance rating temperature ratings of the insulation.
In actually service the load factor may be much higher than indicated without overheating the cable as the ambient temperature will generally be substantially lower than 40c.
