3-4 SELECTING AND PREPARING WELD OUTPUT CABLES.
1.- Weld circuit cable.
To select weld cable size, proceed as follows
:
a)- Calculate total cable length in weld circuit
b)- Determine maximum welding current and
duty cycle.
c)- Use table 3-1 to select proper cable size.
2.- Terminal lug. Use lugs of proper amperage
capacity and hole size for connecting to weld
output terminals.
3.- Work clamp. Instal on work cable.

* Weld cable size (AWG) is based on either a 4 volts or less drop or a current density of not more than 300 circular mils per ampere. Use
weld cable with insulation rating equal to or greater than the open-circuit voltage of the unit.
