Flexible Welding Cable – 6 AWG to 4/0 AWG

Product Overview

Flexible welding cable is designed to transmit high electrical currents between welding equipment and welding tools. Its fine-stranded copper conductor provides excellent flexibility, making it suitable for welding operations that require frequent cable movement and reliable electrical performance.

Depending on the applicable product specification, welding cables may be available in American Wire Gauge (AWG) sizes or under European harmonized designations such as H01N2-D and H01N2-E.

Key Features

• Flexible Copper Conductor: Fine-stranded copper construction for excellent flexibility and ease of handling.
• Rubber Insulation and Sheath: Provides mechanical protection for demanding industrial applications.
• High-Current Capability: Designed for transmitting electrical current between welding machines and welding tools.
• Industrial Durability: Suitable jacket materials can provide resistance to abrasion, moisture, oils and environmental exposure.
• Indoor and Outdoor Applications: Available in different sheath materials to suit specific operating conditions.

Performance characteristics depend on the cable type, sheath compound and applicable standard.

Applications

Flexible welding cables are commonly used in:

• Manual and automated welding equipment
• Arc welding and spot welding systems
• Industrial assembly and production lines
• Shipbuilding and ship repair
• Automotive manufacturing
• Machinery and metal fabrication workshops

Cable Types and Construction

H01N2-D / H01N2-E Welding Cable

H01N2-D and H01N2-E are European harmonized welding cable designations used for flexible welding applications.

These cables are intended for connections between welding equipment and welding tools, where flexibility and dependable current transmission are essential.

Specific conductor construction, insulation properties and operating conditions should be confirmed against the applicable standard and manufacturer’s technical datasheet.

YH Welding Cable

YH welding cable typically uses a natural rubber sheath and is commonly specified for indoor welding applications.

YHF Welding Cable

YHF welding cable typically uses a neoprene or other synthetic elastomer sheath, offering improved suitability for demanding environments, depending on the compound and product specification.

Operating Conditions

According to the supplied product information:

• Voltage to ground: Not exceeding 200 V
• Pulsating voltage: Up to 400 V
• YH cable: Primarily intended for indoor applications
• YHF cable: Suitable for outdoor applications where supported by the sheath specification
• Operating temperature: The original specification references 65°C; the precise temperature rating and test conditions require confirmation.

Actual operating limits, current-carrying capacity, temperature ratings and environmental resistance should be verified for each cable model.

Available Sizes

American-gauge flexible welding cable is offered in sizes ranging from 6 AWG to 4/0 AWG, subject to product availability.

Other conductor sizes and cable constructions may be available upon request.
