RECOMMENDED CABLE SIZES (RUBBER COVERED COPPER - RATED 75°C [167°F] )**
CABLE SIZES FOR COMBINED LENGTHS OF ELECTRODE AND WORK CABLES
WELD CABLE SIZES
Table A.1 has the copper cable sizes recommended
for different currents and duty cycles. Lengths stipu-
lated are the distance from the welder to work and
back to the welder again. Cable sizes are increased
for greater lengths primarily for the purpose of mini-
mizing voltage loss in the welding circuit.
