Product Details
Extra-Flexible Welding Cable UL/CSA is a highly flexible and durable Class M welding cable, specifically designed to resist abrasion, oils, and solvents, while performing well in cold conditions. It features a fully annealed, stranded bare copper conductor made with 34 AWG strands for exceptional flexibility. This cable is commonly used for secondary voltage resistance welding leads and power supply applications up to 600V.

APPLICATIONS:
Welding Leads, Grounds, Battery Cable, Solar Inverters, Car Audio.

COLOR:
Orange

AMP RATING:
105


The total circuit length includes both welding and ground leads (based on 4-volt drop) 60% duty cycle. These values for current-carrying capcity are based on a copper temperature of 60ºC (140ºF), and ambiant temperature of 40ºC (104ºF) and yield load factors of from approximately 32% for the 2 AWG cable to approximately 23% for the 3/0 AWG cable, and higher for the smaller sizes. The sizes of cables generally used range from 2 AWG to 3/0 AWG. In actual service, the load factor may be much higher than indicated without overheating the cable as the ambient temperature will generally be substantially lower than 40ºC.

AWG, or American Wire Gauge, is the standard system used primarily in North America to measure the diameter of electrical conductors. This system is critical because a wire's size directly impacts its electrical resistance and how much current (ampacity) it can safely carry. A key principle is that the smaller the AWG number, the larger the wire's diameter; for instance, 12 AWG is thicker and can carry more current than 14 AWG. Sizes beyond 0 AWG are referred to as "aught" (e.g., 1/0, 2/0). Selecting the correct AWG is essential for safe electrical installations, preventing overheating, and minimizing voltage drop.
Voltage drop is the natural reduction in electrical potential that occurs as current travels through a circuit, from the power source to a device. This happens because all wires inherently have resistance, which converts some electrical energy into heat, leading to a loss of voltage. While minor voltage drop is normal, excessive amounts can cause problems like dimming lights, slow or overheating motors, and erratic electronic behavior. It can also lead to higher energy consumption and, in severe cases, create safety hazards due to overheating wires. Key factors influencing voltage drop include the wire's length and thickness (gauge), the amount of current flowing through it, and the quality of electrical connections.
In electrical wiring, amps (amperes) measure the rate of electrical current flow. Think of it as the volume of electricity moving through the wire at any given time. Crucially, every electrical wire has an ampacity rating, which is the maximum current it can safely carry continuously without overheating. Exceeding a wire's ampacity can lead to insulation damage and fire hazards, highlighting why proper wire sizing based on expected amperage is vital for safe electrical systems.
A wire's ampacity, or its safe current-carrying capacity, changes with temperature primarily because of two factors. First, the electrical resistance of copper and aluminum wires increases as they get hotter, causing them to generate more heat when current flows. Second, every wire's insulation has a maximum temperature limit; exceeding this can cause degradation and safety hazards. Therefore, in hotter environments, a wire must carry less current to avoid exceeding its insulation's temperature rating. This ensures the wire remains safe and functional, preventing overheating and potential failures.
We aim to provide authentic, precise images of each wire; however, with various product variations, it can be challenging. In such instances, we focus on showcasing the fundamental design. Always refer to the product specifications rather than relying solely on images.
