| 50′ | 225′ | |
|---|---|---|
| AMPs | AWG or MCM | |
| 100 | #4 | 2/0 |
| 150 | #2 | 4/0 |
| 200 | #2 | 250 |
What size is 2/0 welding cable?
Sizing
| Gauge | Max Amps | Conductor Diameter (in.) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 AWG | 240 | 0.343 |
| 1/0 | 285 | 0.373 |
| 2/0 | 325 | 0.426 |

What is the difference between 1 0 and 2 0 welding cable?
1/0 is 0 AWG, 2/0 is 00 AWG, 3/0 is 000 AWG and so on with more zeros being thicker wire. This being cladded aluminum wire it’s current carrying capacity is less then what copper wire could carry.
How much are welding leads worth?
“The cost for the heavy welding leads is about $3.50 per foot, and without these essential tools to work it can be a disaster to a small business owner,” LaBarbera said.
Can you run welding cable in conduit?
Welding cable’s flexibility and durability makes it attractive to use in non-welding applications. DLO is suitable for use in wet or dry areas, conduits, ducts, troughs or cable tray.
How many amps is #4 welding cable good for?
310 Amps
4/0 Welding Cable carries 310 Amps for 600 volt in-line applications. 4/0 Welding Cable is an extremely flexible cable with pure fine stranded copper. It contains an abrasion-resistant rubber EPDM jacket.
What size cable do I need for my welder?
It’s always best to size welder circuits and wiring based on the input current requirements of the welder. For example, 240-volt, 40- to 50-input amp welders will require a 50-amp circuit breaker and 6-gauge wiring. Welders operating at 30 to 40 input amps require a 40-amp breaker and 8-gauge wire.
What are welding cable sizes?
The most common sizes are 4/0,3/0,2/0,1/0,#1,#2,#3, and #4. You can use our table to find your suggested amperage rating for each length and gauge size.
What is #1 welding cable?
WELD-1 — 1 AWG Welding Cable This premium welding cable has a voltage rating of 600V and a temperature range of -50°C to +105°C. It is suitable for use in power supply applications and secondary voltage resistance welding leads. This flexible welding wire is also abrasion resistant and RoHS compliant.
