WELDING CABLE CONNECTIONS
Cable Size and Length
Be sure to use welding cables that are large enough.
The correct size and length becomes especially impor-
tant when you are welding at a distance from the welder.
Table A.1 lists recommended cable sizes and lengths for
rated current and duty cycle. Length refers to the dis-
tance from the welder to the work and back to the
welder. Cable diameters are increased for long cable
lengths to reduce voltage drops.
