680560 - ESAB 300A Work Cable Assembly with Ground Clamp - 25 ft

Technical Overview of the ESAB 680560 Work Cable

The ESAB 680560 is a premium Work Cable Assembly designed to provide a reliable electrical return path for welding operations up to 300 Amperes. In any welding circuit, the integrity of the work lead (often referred to as the ground cable) is critical for maintaining arc stability, preventing overheating of machine components, and ensuring consistent weld quality. This assembly features a high-grade, multi-stranded copper conductor which offers superior conductivity compared to aluminum alternatives, minimizing voltage drop over its 25-foot (7.6-meter) length.

The cable is encased in a durable, industrial-grade rubber jacket formulated to withstand the rigors of heavy manufacturing environments. This insulation provides excellent resistance to abrasion, cuts, oil, and incidental exposure to sparks or hot slag, ensuring a long service life and operator safety. The flexibility of the jacket allows for easy maneuvering around complex weldments without kinking or retaining coil memory, which is essential for maintaining an organized and safe workspace.

Terminations are factory-installed to ensure optimal mechanical and electrical connection. The machine end is fitted with a standard 50mm Dinse-style connector, a twist-lock plug widely used in modern inverter and transformer power sources for its secure, high-current capacity interface. The work end features a heavy-duty, spring-loaded ground clamp with copper contact points/pads designed to bite through light rust or scale, establishing a low-resistance connection to the workpiece. This assembly is a direct replacement or upgrade for many ESAB power sources and is compatible with any welding machine requiring a 300A rated lead with 50mm Dinse connections.
