0700156013 - ESAB 5m Ground Return Lead Assembly

Reliable Grounding for Superior Welds

The ESAB Earth Cable with Clamp (5M), identified by SKU 0700156013, is an essential accessory for professional welders who demand consistency and reliability in their welding circuit. A solid ground connection is the foundation of any high-quality weld; without it, operators face unstable arcs, sputtering, and poor penetration. This pre-assembled return lead is designed to eliminate those variables, providing a direct and efficient path for current to return to the power source.

Measuring 5 meters (approximately 16.4 feet) in length, this cable offers significant versatility in the workshop. It allows welders to move around large assemblies or fixtures without constantly repositioning the welding machine. The cable itself is manufactured from high-grade copper stranding, ensuring maximum conductivity and minimal voltage drop, even during extended welding sessions. The outer jacket is crafted from durable, heat-resistant rubber that stands up to the harsh realities of industrial environments, including exposure to oil, grease, and hot sparks.

The assembly comes complete with a heavy-duty ground clamp already attached. This clamp features a strong spring mechanism and highly conductive contact points to bite through minor surface rust or scale, ensuring a solid electrical connection. Whether you are setting up a new ESAB workstation or replacing a worn-out lead, this earth cable assembly provides the durability and performance professional fabricators trust.

Key Benefits for the Fabricator

Using genuine ESAB accessories ensures compatibility and safety. This cable is rated to handle the thermal and electrical stresses of MIG, TIG, and Stick welding processes. Its flexibility makes it easy to coil for storage, preventing the tangles and knots that often plague inferior cables. Invest in a quality return lead to protect your machine and improve your weld quality.
