About Welding Cable

Welding cable is designed for use in electric arc-welding machines to power an electrode, a specially designed metal rod, that conducts a charge. The charge carried by the electrode is needed to produce an electric arc, the heat source, between the electrode and the metals being welded.
Welding cable is made to be extremely durable and flexible. Arc-welding requires a person to move the electrode around the shop and along the joints being welded, so it is essential to have a flexible welding cable that allows for ease of movement. A high strand count and rubber insulation help increase the cable's flexibility.
A durable cable is important in industrial environments where abrasions, cuts, burns from sparks, and oil and water exposure can quickly wear out a weaker cable.BRS Welding Cable is highly flexible stranded No. 30 bare copper conductor insulated with high grade black EPDM. A paper separator is utilized to enhance stripability. Maximum conductor operating temperature is 105°C in circuits not exceeding 600 volts. Minimum temperature rating -50°C. 

How to choose the right cable
Ampacity: The ampacity refers to the maximum amount of current your cable can handle safely. For more information, view the section on welding cable ampacity.
Length: Your cable should be long enough to reach every corner of the space you will be welding in. You will need to keep in mind (1) one cable connects from the welder to the elctrode and (2) another cable will connect from the welder to the piece that is being welded (also known as the work clamp or ground lead).
Gauge: The longer and thinner the welding cable, the lower the ampacity, so if you require a long cable, you may want to look at thicker sizes to compensate for the length and to prevent damage to your machine.
Insulation: Welding cable insulation is commonly made of neoprene, EPDM, or PVC. Both neoprene and EPDM jackets are flexible, resistant to harsh weather, abrasion, moisture, and water. However, they are not well suited for exposure to gas or other petroleum based liquid. PVC is less flexible but has high resistance to cuts and tears.
Flexibility: The higher the strand count, the more flexible the cable.
Duty cycle：Duty cycle is a capacity rating of a welding power source, expressed as a percent (%). It is the percentage of a ten minute period that the power source can operate at a given output current level before exceeding its thermal limit (i.e. the windings get too hot) and shutting down if it has thermal overload protection.  Generally as output levels decrease, duty cycle increases (until 100% or continuous output). Conversely, as output levels increase (until maximum output capacity), duty cycle decreases. The duty cycle rating(s) can be found on the power source’s nameplate and/or in the operating manual. The duty cycle rating of a welding power source is typically related to the welding processes in which it will be used, its intended use and whether it operates off of single phase or three phase power. Color: You may want additional insulation colors to distinguish between different cables.
