BS638 (PART 4) 0361TQ WELDING CABLE SINGLE CORE

APPLICATION CABLE STANDARDS


0361TQ is an orange sleeved flexible welding
BS 638 Part 4
cable used for connection of an electric
welding machine to the welding gun. This Flame retardant to BS EN 50525-2-81
cable carries large current for the purposes Conforms to IEC 60332-1-2
of welding metal together in automatic and
manual welding machines. It is high quality
cable for all work cycles from occasional
use to a 100% duty cycle. Suitable for use in
factory assembly lines and conveyor systems,
machine tool and car manufacturing / repairs
etc.

DUTY CYCLE AND CURRENT CARRYING CAPACITY


The current carrying capacity of a welding cable depends on the length of the duty cycle. The duty cycle is the length of time during which a loaded current passes
through the cable over an operation period of 5 minutes, expressed as a percentage of that period. For example, if the current is flowing for the whole 5 minutes the
duty cycle is 100%, and if the current is flowing for 1 minute the duty cycle is 20%. As conductor temperature varies according to the time in use as well as current,
ratings shown are given as a guide. The permissible loading of the cable for duty cycles other than those shown in the table can be calculated using the following
formula: I = I100 x √100/F Where: I: is the maximum permissible loading current for the required duty cycle. I100 : is the maximum permissible loading current for a
duty cycle of 100%. F: is the required duty cycle calculated as a percentage of the 5 minute operation period.

TYPICAL GUIDANCE VALUES FOR DIFFERENT WELDING PROCESSES ARE AS FOLLOWS:


- Fully automatic welding 100%
- Semi-automatic welding 65 - 85%
- Manual Welding 30 - 60%
- Very infrequent or occasional welding 20%
