K1796-100 - Lincoln Electric Coaxial Welding Power Cable 1/0 300A 100ft

High-Performance Power Transmission for Advanced Welding

The Lincoln Electric K1796-100 Coaxial Weld Power Cable is a specialized component engineered to meet the rigorous demands of modern industrial welding environments. Unlike standard welding cables, this coaxial assembly is designed to minimize inductance, a critical factor when utilizing advanced waveform control technologies such as Surface Tension Transfer (STT) or rapid Pulse welding. By arranging the conductors in a coaxial configuration, the magnetic fields generated by the current flow are effectively cancelled or significantly reduced. This reduction in inductance ensures that the power source can react instantaneously to changes in the arc, maintaining precise control over the weld puddle and reducing spatter.

Technically, the cable is rated for 300 Amperes at a 60% duty cycle, making it suitable for a wide range of medium-to-heavy duty fabrication tasks. The 1/0 AWG conductor size provides the necessary cross-sectional area to carry this current efficiently over its substantial 100-foot (30.5-meter) length without excessive voltage drop. This extended length is particularly beneficial in large-scale manufacturing or construction settings where the wire feeder must be positioned at a significant distance from the power source. The cable features robust lug connections ensuring secure and low-resistance termination at both the power source and the wire feeder or accessory.

Durability is a key aspect of the K1796-100's design. The outer jacket is constructed from high-grade materials resistant to abrasion, oil, and common industrial chemicals, ensuring a long service life even in harsh shop floor conditions. For facility managers and procurement specialists, selecting this coaxial cable ensures that high-end welding power sources perform to their full potential, justifying the investment in advanced equipment by providing the necessary high-fidelity power delivery path.
