What is 6 awg welding cable?
6 awg welding cable is made from stranded bundles of copper wire tightly packed and insulated. The wire stranding gives the cable more flexibility and resistance to wear, while the insulation (typically EPDM or Neoprene rubber) adds additional protection against the harsh environments found in welding applications and is more flexible than PVC or other rubber coatings.
Also Known As: Battery Cable, 6 Gauge Welding Lead, Temporary Power Cable, 6 Gauge Flexible Cable, 600 Volt Cable, #6 Copper Cable, 6 Gauge Welders Lead, Hurricane Cable, etc.

6 awg welding cable Applications
6 awg welding cable often used in demanding applications, welding cable is a secondary voltage-resistance cable for welding tools or as a power cable that is attached to generators and industrial machinery. For example, electric arc-welding tools typically rely on two separate cables for operation; one that acts as the primary power source for the device while the other supplies a secondary power source. While welding cable may not power the generator, it is required for the electrode.
Welding cables are durable and flexible and are a popular choice for entertainment or stage lighting cables, lighting and sound systems, and communication vans. They can also function as battery cables for cars, inverter cables, and as a more cost-effective alternative to pendant (or reeling) cable on hoists and cranes.
