When you’re welding having reliable cables is essential. Because your cables will transfer current from your welding machine to the welding electrode, it has to be able to make tougher than the average cable. Here at EWCS, we manufacture high-quality Welding Cables that can stand up to the abuse of shop work and continue to reliably transfer current. We offer a wide range of cables so you can always find the perfect option for your needs.
At Electric Cable and Wire Specialists (EWCS) we are an American manufacturer dedicated to creating the best wire and cable options. We manufacture all of our cables in the US using the finest copper conductors and sturdy insulators. If your business needs quality wires or cables, our electrical wiring products are the best on the market.
When choosing a welding cable, the first factor to consider is the current. Current is measured in amperage and is a measurement of how much electrical current will be flowing through a wire. If you have higher currents, you need a larger diameter cable. If your cables are too thin they will quickly overheat and potentially fail. Failing cables can cause fires and other serious issues, so it is crucial to make sure you have the right cable size.
Cables are available for sale in standard AWG sizes. The AWG system can be slightly confusing, with larger number corresponding to smaller wire diameters. Past zero, larger cable diameters are measured by more zeros or the shortened 3/0 for 000 sizes. At EWCS we carry welding cables ranging from 6 AWG to 4/0 AWG.
As you move into bigger cables, you need to make sure they have a high count of finely threaded conductors. This will allow the cable to be extremely flexible and make it easier to maneuver your electrode while you work. If your cables lack this flexibility they can easily split and cause a failure.
No matter what size cable you need, the secret to a reliable cable in the insulation. Welding machines are used in a wide variety of environments and having cables that can stand up to abuse can make a huge difference. We manufacture our cables with sturdy and flexible insulation that can resist corrosive chemicals and extreme heat. Our welding cables can handle temperatures ranging from -40°F to 220°F and are rated from 600 volts. They can also be found in red and black, with some sizes also available in blue and green.
