Y Turn off power before
connecting to weld out-
put terminals.
Y Do not use worn, dam-
aged, undersized, or
poorly spliced cables.
This chart is a general guideline and may not suit all applications. If cable overheating occurs (normally you can smell it), use next size larger

cable.
**Weld cable size (AWG) is based on either a 4 volts or less drop or a current density of at least 300 circular mils per ampere.
