2.4. WELDING AND RETURN CURRENT CABLES
Use only copper cables with cross-sectional area of at least 50 mm 2 .
Table below shows typical loading capacities of rubber insulated copper cables, when ambient
temperature is 25°C and conductor temperature is 85°C.
Cable Duty cycle ED Voltage loss / 10 m
100 % 60 % 30 %
50 mm 2 285 A 370 A 520 A 0,35 V / 100 A
70 mm 2 355 A 460 A 650 A 0,25 V / 100 A
95 mm 2 430 A 560 A 790 A 0,18 V / 100 A
To avoid voltage losses and heating, do not overload welding cables over permissible
values.
Fasten the earth clamp of the return current cable carefully, preferably directly onto the work piece.
The contact surface area of the clamp should always be as large and steady as possible. Clean the
contact surface from paint and rust.
