There are a wide range of cables sold, all with their own unique function. If you are going to be welding, you may wonder which cable is right for you. A welding cable is used to move high volumes of electrical current to the material being welded. It is important to choose a cable that can handle the maximum output of the machine.

Cable Size 101

The concept of moving electricity is similar to how water flows through a hose. The larger the hose, the greater the amount of water that can pass through, this also holds true for electrical current. The different sized cables offer different advantages like safety and suitability for various types of applications. Cables fall into a myriad of categories by what’s called an AWG or American Wire Gauge size. Some are expressed as 1/0, 2/0, 3/0 or 4/0.

The 4/0 cable is typically used for heavy duty welding applications. Fine copper strands give the welding cable more flexibility than other types of electrical conductors and the insulating cover is designed to hold up to repeated movement over rough areas. It is an all-around better wire to move electrical current with the least resistance. When there is resistance, some amount of heating will occur inside the cable. This is normal. What this means is the 4/0 welding cable can handle heat better than other size cables.
