K1796-75 - Lincoln Electric K1796-75 75ft Coaxial Welding Cable 1/0 300A

High-Performance Power Delivery for Industrial Welding

The Lincoln Electric K1796-75 Coaxial Weld Power Cable is a premium-grade component engineered to meet the rigorous demands of heavy industrial welding environments. Designed to facilitate the connection between welding power sources and wire feeders, this cable addresses the specific electrical challenges associated with long-distance power transmission in arc welding circuits. With a substantial length of 75 feet (22.9 meters), it provides operators with the flexibility to work across large fabrication floors, shipyards, or construction sites without moving the primary power source.

Technically, the K1796-75 distinguishes itself through its coaxial design. In standard welding setups involving long cable runs, magnetic fields generated by the current can create significant inductance. This inductance resists changes in current flow, leading to "stuttering" arc starts and unstable weld puddles, particularly in MIG and pulsed-MIG processes. The coaxial configuration of this Lincoln Electric cable neutralizes these magnetic fields, effectively minimizing inductance. This results in a crisper, more responsive arc and superior weld quality, even at the full 75-foot extension.

Constructed with high-quality 1/0 AWG copper conductors, the cable is rated for a continuous output of 300 Amps at a 60% duty cycle, with a maximum capacity of 325 Amps. This amperage rating ensures it can handle a wide range of welding procedures, from light fabrication to structural steel work, without overheating. The insulation and outer jacket are formulated to resist the common hazards of the trade, including sparks, abrasion from concrete floors, oil, and grease. By investing in the K1796-75, facilities ensure consistent electrical performance and equipment longevity, reducing downtime associated with cable failure or poor arc characteristics.

This product is an essential accessory for setups requiring extended reach where arc stability cannot be compromised. It exemplifies Lincoln Electric's commitment to providing solutions that enhance both the efficiency of the equipment and the quality of the final weld.
