Questions & Answers
This is a copper cable that hasn't been treated in any way. The jacket is made of EDPM rubber, which is used to make industrial welding cable in the United States. It's made to keep weld splatter at bay. When exposed to an open flame, it would be "burn resistant," but not "burn proof." Thank you very much! Sales at EWCS
Yes, some of our customers use it for solar. Thanks! Sales at EWCS
No - A four-gauge cable is quite small. The 4/0 gauge cable is significantly larger and heavier. Thanks! Sales at EWCS
Sir - If your welder is rated at 150 amps, we recommend using a 2 gauge cable. Thanks! Sales at EWCS
Selected User Reviews For EWCS 4 Gauge Premium Extra Flexible Welding Cable 600 Volt 10 Feet Each Black+Red
I decided to take a chance and buy this particular wire cable (4 gauge) after much deliberation, and it turns out that after receiving it, I checked the wire cable with a diameter gauge, and it is indeed 4 gauge. If it isn't 4 gauge, then there must be a collusion between the gauge makers and the wire cable makers. This is something I seriously doubt. Otherwise, if this were the case, there would be a lot of overheated wires all over the country. So, for those of you who, like me, have read the negative comments about gauge size, I hope that my review has aided you in deciding whether or not to purchase this product.
Is a SAE 4 gauge. AWG (American Wire Gauge) wires are three inches in diameter. 12 larger diameter than SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers), along with a larger carrying capacity. br>The seller should make it clear that this wire is not of the 4 American Wire Gauge. Many reviews claim that the wire diameter is insufficient for a 4awg ring terminal because of this.
Perhaps the rubber will help. Cooper is nice, but the copper is only compatible with 8 gauge stereo equipment. Almost. . If the hair is too thick for an 8 gauge, a few strains may be necessary. br>br>With the rubber boot, my 4 gauge connectors fit perfectly. That's something you can't do. So, I'm not sure what I'm going to do with them. I used a 4/8 gauge fuse holder with the 8 gauge insert; a few extra copper pieces didn't fit (perhaps I should try again), but the rubber boot fit perfectly where it was supposed to. br>br>I'm not sure how they determine the size, but it's a good deal for crimp connectors. 6 gauge is an excellent choice. br>br>Perhaps I should order 2 gauge wire from these guys, which will contain 4 gauge copper.
The quality is excellent, and it was delivered on time. The cables (10' red x 10' black, 4 GA welding cable) were delivered today. After removing a small amount of insulation, the diameter of the conductor is between 0. 23 and 0. The finely stranded cable deforms when I put the caliper on it, so it's a little difficult to measure. This is better than the spec for 4AWG stranded cable, which is around. 232 - 235", depending on how the strands are stranded. br>br>It is significantly larger than 6AWG, which is. 185- 186", depending on how the stranding is done. br>br>Excellent transaction and excellent product.
This is a 4 gauge wire that has been labeled as a 6 gauge wire. I usually use hydraulic crimpers with true spec 4 gauge wiring, but I wanted to give a new brand a try. With a 4 gauge ring terminal and proper crimp die, the wire will easily fall out. To complete the installation, I needed to use a 6 gauge ring terminal and dies. This wire will not suffice if you need to run the entire 20 feet and expect 150 amps; however, it is a good quality wire that was incorrectly marketed.
Because of its flexibility, I wish I had used this wire in a different application! On my teardrop camper, I used it as part of a complete solar and power system. It's still going strong after a year and hasn't given me any issues. It was simple to set up and did exactly what it said it would. When the sun isn't shining, the entire system can run some lights, a small cooler, and a CPAP machine for several days. When the sun shines (or we're on shore power), the solar panels provide enough power to keep the batteries charged and allow us to run indefinitely.
This cable has a lot of flexibility, which I like. This was purchased to be used in conjunction with my solar installation. This cable worked well between the charge controller and the batteries, as well as between all of the batteries. Although the cable is too long for the controller, I would rather have it too long than too short. You should order a little more cable than I did because I only had enough. I put the system through its paces and it is fantastic.
For crimp connection, it says it's 4 awg but it's closer to 6 awg.
