OVERVIEW

High-Performance 1/0 AWG Orange Welding Cable

This premium 1/0 AWG welding cable is designed for heavy-duty industrial applications where durability and safety are paramount. Featuring a distinctive orange EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) jacket, this cable offers high visibility on the shop floor, significantly reducing the risk of accidental tripping or cable damage from machinery. The jacket is engineered to withstand harsh environments, offering excellent resistance to abrasion, cuts, tears, flame, grease, oil, and water.

Internally, the cable utilizes fully annealed, stranded bare copper conductors. This fine stranding configuration (often Class K or M) provides exceptional flexibility, allowing the cable to be easily routed around obstacles and coiled for storage without kinking. It is rated for 600 volts and can operate effectively in extreme temperature ranges from -50°C to +105°C, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use in varying climates.

Sold by the foot, this cable allows for custom-length assemblies for electrode holders (stingers), ground clamps, or power distribution. Whether you are outfitting a new welding rig or replacing worn-out leads, this 1/0 cable delivers the consistent conductivity and rugged protection required for professional welding operations. It is also widely used in non-welding applications such as battery bank wiring, solar power setups, and car audio installations due to its high current carrying capacity and flexibility.

FAQ

For welding applications (secondary voltage), 1/0 cable is typically rated for approximately 285-350 amps depending on the duty cycle and cable length. For continuous power transmission (like battery cables), the rating is lower, typically around 150-170 amps.

Yes, if you order multiple feet, it will typically be shipped as a single continuous length up to the maximum spool size (usually 250 or 500 feet).

The approximate outer diameter (OD) of standard 1/0 EPDM welding cable is 0.533 inches (approx 13.5mm).

This is premium welding cable made with stranded bare copper. It is not Copper Clad Aluminum (CCA).

Yes, 1/0 welding cable is excellent for automotive battery relocation due to its high strand count, which allows it to route easily through the chassis compared to stiff standard battery cable.

The EPDM jacket is UV resistant, but like all pigmented rubber, prolonged exposure to direct intense sunlight over years may cause slight fading, though the integrity of the insulation remains intact.

You will need lugs or connectors sized specifically for 1/0 AWG cable. Ensure the mounting hole size of the lug matches your equipment studs.

Yes, the EPDM jacket provides excellent resistance to oil, grease, and solvents common in industrial environments.
