RUBBER INSULATED WELDING CABLE
Flexible Copper Conductors. EPR Insulation/HOFR Sheath 85 degrees C 100 Volts
APPLICATION
Welding cables are highly flexible single core conductors with a great variety of industrial applications. Rated voltage 100v as a trailing cable but upto 450v in a protected environment.
SPECIFICATION
BS638 Part 4. 1996Flexible Class 6 Copper conductors to BS6360 Paper or PETP tape seperator
Insulation: EPR insulation to BS7655 Sheath: HOFR sheath to BS7655
Temp. Rating: 85 degrees C max conductor operating temperature Minimum handling temp: -40 degrees C
Voltage: 100V rating when used for welding purposes. For non-welding applications, cables may be used at voltages up to and including 450V rms phase - provided that the cables are adequately protected from mechanical damage.
