1 welding cable amperage.

Welding cable ampacity also known as current capacity or amperage rating refers to the maximum amount of electrical current that a cable can safely conduct. For welding cable application. May not be suitable for all installations per national electrical code. 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.

The welding cable size chart below includes the wire gauge length of the wire diameter weight technical details and color of available. These values for current carrying capacity are based on a copper temperature of 60 c 140 f an ambient temperature of. 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. Welding cable ampacities single conductor required cable sizes.
