The Weldcraft 40V78LR is a specialized Rubber Power Cable Extension designed to significantly expand the working envelope of industrial TIG welding setups. Measuring 25 feet (7.6 meters) in length, this cable assembly is engineered to interface seamlessly with specific water-cooled TIG torch series, providing the necessary electrical continuity and coolant path extension required for remote welding operations. Manufactured by Weldcraft, a leader in TIG welding components, this product ensures that operators can maintain high-quality arc performance even when positioned at a considerable distance from the power source.
This power cable extension is strictly designated for use with water-cooled torch bodies. It is fully compatible with the following series:
The fittings and internal geometry are precision-machined to match the standard connections found on these torch bodies and their corresponding power adapters, ensuring a leak-free and low-resistance connection.
A defining feature of the 40V78LR is its rubber outer jacket. Unlike lower-cost vinyl or plastic alternatives, this rubber composition offers distinct industrial advantages. It provides exceptional resistance to high temperatures, incidental contact with hot surfaces, and abrasion from concrete shop floors. Furthermore, the rubber material retains its flexibility across a wide temperature range, preventing the cable from becoming stiff or brittle in unheated workshops during winter months. Inside, high-grade copper stranding ensures efficient current transfer, minimizing voltage drop over the 25-foot span to maintain arc stability.
In complex fabrication environments such as shipyards, aerospace hangars, or large-scale automotive manufacturing, moving the welding power source is often impractical. This extension cable bridges the gap, allowing the welder to navigate around large workpieces or climb into difficult-to-reach areas without dragging heavy machinery. It serves as a critical component for maintaining productivity and safety by reducing clutter and equipment relocation downtime.
