Welding cable
The welding cable is a conductor of welding current. It consists of a series of thin copper wires wrapped in a durable non-conductive jacket (usually synthetic rubber or natural rubber in various colors). The thinner copper stranded wire provides greater flexibility for welding cables than other types of electrical conductors, and the insulating sheath is designed to withstand repeated movements on rough surfaces. As the current level increases (in amperes or amperes), the diameter of the welding cable and the cross-sectional area of the resulting copper strand need to increase. The concept is similar to the flow of water through a hose. A larger diameter hose is needed to carry a larger volume of water. You use a smaller hose to water the garden, and the fire department uses a larger hose to extinguish the fire.

Application
The welding cable is used to power the secondary circuit of the arc welding generator, which controls the electrode that emits electrical charges for welding. The cable is made of soft copper wire and surrounded by a protective layer which has the functions of fire resistance, heat resistance, oil resistance and abrasion resistance.
»Welding cables are divided into different grades according to durability and strength. The wiring itself is usually made of copper and carefully twisted for maximum flexibility. The outer skin of the welding wire can be made of neoprene rubber or EPDM rubber, which is the abbreviation of ethylene propylene diene M grade rubber.
