WELDER DATA SPECIFICATIONS
Cabling between welder and weld head is important in determining peak weld current and adjusting
weld pulse timing. Table 1 indicates peak currents that can be expected with 3 to 4 foot sections of
these cables. Typically, hand pieces will use 4 to 8 AWG wire while Weld Heads will be hooked up
with 2/0 or 4 AWG wire.
TABLE 1: Peak weld current shown by model number and external cabling gauge number (AWG).
Four and eight AWG cabling is typically seen when using hand held attachments.

*Minimum Load = 1mOhm, using a smaller load may damage the welder.
