RECOMMENDED CABLE SIZES (RUBBER COVERED COPPER - RATED 75°C)**
CABLE SIZES FOR COMBINED LENGTHS OF ELECTRODE AND WORK CABLES
WELD CABLE SIZES
Table A.1 has the copper cable sizes recommended for
different currents and duty cycles. Lengths stipulated
are the distance from the welder to work and back to
the welder again. Cable sizes are increased for
greater lengths primarily for the purpose of minimizing
voltage in the welding circuit.
