What environments are suitable for welding machine cables?

Welding machine cables are suitable for various complex environments, including places with high temperature, humidity, oil pollution, acid and alkali liquids, etc. It can withstand the high temperature and sparks generated during welding to ensure safe operation.

What is the operating temperature of welding machine cables?

The long-term allowable operating temperature of YH type cables does not exceed 65°C.

The long-term allowable operating temperature of YHF type cables does not exceed 70°C.

These cables are designed to work stably for a long time in high temperature environments to ensure safety during welding operations.

What is the minimum bending radius of welding machine cables?

The minimum bending radius of welding machine cables is 6 times the outer diameter of the cable. This design ensures that the cable is not easily broken or damaged during movement, twisting or bending.

What is the rated voltage of welding machine cables?

Welding machine cables are suitable for welding machine wiring with a rated voltage not exceeding 200V AC and a pulsating DC peak of 400V. Ensure that the cable works stably in a low voltage and high current environment.

How to choose the right welding machine cable model?

When selecting a welding machine cable, the following factors should be considered:

Working temperature requirements: Select a cable suitable for the working environment temperature.

Bending requirements: If the cable needs to be moved or bent frequently, select a cable with good flexibility.

Environmental conditions: If there is an oily or chemically corrosive environment, select a cable with oil resistance and corrosion resistance (such as YHF type).

Voltage and current requirements: Make sure that the rated voltage and current of the selected cable meet the working requirements of the welding machine.

Can welding machine cables be used outdoors?

Yes. Welding machine cables are particularly suitable for use in outdoor and open-air environments, especially on construction sites or maintenance sites. Its weather resistance and waterproof properties enable it to adapt to adverse weather conditions.

What is the difference between YH and YHF cables?

YH cables are suitable for secondary wiring of welding machines, have good bending performance and softness, and are suitable for frequently moving working environments.

YHF cables have strong oil resistance and non-flammable properties, suitable for welding equipment under high temperature and high pressure environments, especially for DC welding machines.

How to install and maintain welding machine cables?

During installation, ensure that the cable matches the model of the equipment to avoid damaging the cable sheath and insulation layer. During use, avoid scratching or over-stretching the cable with sharp objects, and regularly check whether the cable is damaged or aged. After shutdown, the cable should be fully inspected and problems should be dealt with in a timely manner.

What is the service life of the welding machine cable?

The service life of the welding machine cable is closely related to its working environment, frequency of use and maintenance. Under normal working conditions, the cable life can reach several years, but under high-intensity use or harsh environments, the cable may need to be replaced more frequently.
