Welding Cable Electrode

Welding cable, also known as electrode cable, refers to a specialized electrical cable designed for the transmission of electric current in welding applications. It serves as the conduit through which the electrical energy is delivered from the welding power source to the welding electrode or welding gun. Welding cables are constructed to withstand the harsh conditions of welding environments, including exposure to heat, abrasion, and oil. Typically, these cables have flexible copper conductors for efficient power transmission and a durable, heat-resistant insulation or jacket to ensure safety and longevity. The term "electrode cable" is often used interchangeably with "welding cable" because the cable connects the welding machine to the electrode, which is the component that carries the electric current necessary for generating the welding arc.
