Welding Cable Selector Guide

This document provides a guide for selecting the appropriate weld cable size based on welding amperage, duty cycle, and total cable length in the weld circuit. It recommends larger cable sizes for higher amperages, longer duty cycles, and greater total cable lengths to prevent overheating. It notes that the chart provides general guidelines and a larger cable size may be needed if overheating occurs.

*This chart is a general guideline and may not suit all applications. If cable overheating occurs (normally you can smell it), use next size larger cable. **Weld cable size (AWG) is based on either a 4 volts or less drop or a current density of at least 300 circular mils per ampere. Contact your distributor for the mm2 equivalent weld cable sizes. ***For distances longer than those shown in this Guide, call a factory applications representative at 920-735-4505.
