How long does it take to splice a cable?

It depends on how many wires are in the cable. The more conductors in the cable set the longer it will take to splice them.


What is welding cable used for?

A welding cable is used for joining or linking up wires or cable. Welding is the process of joining two things together, and the cable is the connector.


Within how many feet must the welding cable be spliced from the electrode holder?

A minimum distance of 10 feet from the cable end to which the electrode holder is.


What is the difference in AC welding machine and DC welding machine?

Alternating current flows from the welder through the torch into your welder, through the grounding cable, and back into your machine. It then flows in the exact opposite direction. The result is deep penetration, and removal of impurities in the weld. It is used mainly on aluminum and alloys. Direct current has both a positive and negative setting: the difference is the direction of the current. One flows from the welder, through the torch, through the material and back into the ground; the other flows in the opposite direction.

What decides on the size of welding cable to use?

In order to determine proper gauge of welding cable you must first determine how long the distance you will need in cable, the entire length for both electrode side as well as work clamp side, and you also need to know the amperage you will be using. Once you determine this there are various references online and offline, most commonly in the owners manual to most welding machines, that will give you the proper size based on the amperage and total length. there are a few different factors in determining the size of welding cable you use. Thickness of base metal, distance from machine to worksite, and amperage. I am a welder in the navy and sometimes we run our leads over far distances therefore we need a bigger welding lead to handle the increase in amperage to maintain the proper work temperature. There may be more reasons for using a bigger cable but I am not sure.


If you weld on a vehicle with a gas powered arc welder can it damage the computer?

Yes, If you weld on a vehicle with any welder it can not only damage the computer but other electrical parts as well. Easy fix,,,disconect neg wire on battery wait 30 seconds before welding, when done put neg cable back on...thats it


Can you splice a s-video cable to an HDMI cable?

no s-video is a radio frequency hdmi is digital


I have a Lincoln ideal Arc SP 250 wire welder and when you pull the trigger to weld there is about a 3 second pause I need to eliminate?

Maybe maybe not. The gas has to flow to the weld area to protect the weld puddle. This may be what is happening. If you have a long cable to the gun this is a good feature. Check with a welding rep/salesman from your local welding supplier.


What is the definition of octopus splice?

In electronics, an octopus splice refers to a cable that has been split into different branches, like the tentacles of an octopus. These branches each have a connector on the end.


What is a welding lead?

the welding lead is the cable coming from the welding machine that either feeds the wire and shielding gas (mig) or or provides current to the electrode through the holder
