Application
Welding cable is intended for use as an extra hard duty cable for welding & industrial use at temperatures not exceeding 90°C and not below -40oC. It is intended for use in applications where exposure to fluids such as water, oil, grease and coolants are encountered. It may also be used for portable lighting or power supply applications not exceeding 600 volts A.C. as well as welding, battery cables, electroplating and battery charger lines.
