68Z33 - ESAB C-60 Heavy Duty Ground Clamp 600A

High-Performance Industrial Grounding

The ESAB C-60 Work Clamp (SKU: 68Z33) is a premium grounding solution engineered for heavy industrial welding applications requiring up to 600 amps of current. In professional welding environments, the quality of the ground connection is often the overlooked variable that dictates arc stability and weld quality. The C-60 addresses this by utilizing a robust screw-type "C" frame design, which allows the operator to apply substantial torque to the workpiece. This high-pressure contact penetrates surface rust, scale, and paint more effectively than standard spring-loaded clamps, ensuring a low-resistance electrical path.

Manufactured from a durable copper alloy, the C-60 offers superior electrical conductivity compared to steel or iron clamps. This material choice is critical for minimizing heat generation at the contact point, which preserves the integrity of the clamp and the welding cable over long duty cycles. The clamp is designed to withstand the harsh conditions of shipyards, structural fabrication shops, and heavy equipment repair centers. Its mechanical strength resists deformation even when tightened securely onto irregular shapes.

Proper grounding is essential not only for weld quality but also for the protection of the welding power source. High resistance in the ground loop can cause voltage drops and stray currents that may damage sensitive electronic components in modern inverters. The ESAB C-60 provides a reliable, secure connection that MRO managers and welding engineers can trust. It features a versatile cable connection point compatible with standard welding cable lugs, accommodating a wide range of cable sizes typically used in high-amperage MIG, TIG, and Stick welding.
