COAXIAL WELD CABLES

Coaxial welding cables are specially designed welding cables for pulse welding welding. Coaxial weld cables feature low inductance, allowing fast changes in the weld current. Regular cables have a higher inductance which may distort the pulse wave shape. Inductance becomes more severe as the weld cables become longer.

Coaxial weld cables are recommended for all pulse welding, especially when the total weld cable length (electrode cable + work cable) exceeds 50 feet (7.6m).

A coaxial weld cable is constructed by 8 small leads wrapped around one large lead. The large inner lead connects to the electrode stud on the power source and the electrode connection on the wire feeder. The small leads combine together to form the work lead, one end attached to the power source and the other end to the work piece. (See Coaxial weld Cable below.)

WELD CABLE CONNECTION

Connect a work lead of sufficient size between the proper output stud on the power source and the work. Be sure the connection to the work makes tight metal to metal electrical contact. Poor work lead connections can result in poor welding performance.
