WELDING CABLE SIZE

Compare only the cable area, resistance, and rating you enter from the actual cable label or manufacturer data. Total circuit length includes the electrode lead and work return.

RUN AND CANDIDATES

YOUR CABLE CANDIDATES

Enter only the candidate's size reference, DC resistance per selected base length, and manufacturer/label rating. No built-in cable table is used.

COMPARISON

Enter the circuit data and your cable candidates.

Disclaimer

Voltage drop occurs at welding current; duty cycle is used here only to show average resistive loss. Do not infer a duty-cycle ampacity adjustment. Confirm the cable's stated rating at the applicable duty cycle, installation, connector, insulation-temperature, and code conditions before use.
