9SS22956 - Lincoln Electric Power MIG 255/256 Ground Cable and Clamp Assembly, 10 ft

Optimized Grounding for Precision Welding

The Lincoln Electric S22956 Ground Cable and Clamp Assembly is an essential component designed to maintain the electrical integrity of your welding circuit. Specifically engineered for the Power MIG 255 and Power MIG 256 systems, this assembly ensures that current flows efficiently from the workpiece back to the power source, a critical factor in achieving a stable arc and high-quality weld deposits. A compromised ground connection can lead to arc wandering, sputtering, and inconsistent heat input, all of which negatively impact the structural integrity and aesthetic of the final weld. By utilizing this genuine OEM replacement, operators can trust in the consistent performance that Lincoln Electric is known for.

The assembly features a 10-foot length of high-grade welding cable, offering a balance between reach and manageability in standard workshop environments. The cable is encased in a durable, insulating jacket designed to withstand the harsh conditions typical of industrial settings, including exposure to sparks, abrasion, and oils. The internal copper stranding is selected for its conductivity and flexibility, allowing the operator to position the clamp easily without fighting stiff cabling. This flexibility is crucial for reducing fatigue and ensuring that the clamp remains securely attached to the workpiece without being pulled off by the weight or tension of the cable.

At the working end, the assembly is terminated with a heavy-duty ground clamp. This clamp is equipped with a strong spring mechanism that delivers substantial biting force, ensuring a low-resistance connection even on materials with slight surface oxidation. The contact points are designed to handle the amperage output of the Power MIG 255 and 256 machines without overheating. On the machine end, the cable comes pre-fitted with the correct lug for a seamless, bolt-on installation. This plug-and-play design minimizes downtime, allowing maintenance personnel or welders to quickly swap out damaged leads and resume production with confidence.
