The Lincoln Electric K2483-3 Weld Cable is a premium-grade assembly designed to meet the rigorous demands of heavy industrial fabrication and construction. Engineered with a substantial 3/0 AWG cross-section, this cable is built to handle high-amperage welding processes with minimal voltage drop and heat buildup. Rated for 600 Amps at a 60% duty cycle, it provides the robust power delivery necessary for structural steel welding, shipbuilding, and heavy equipment repair. The cable measures 10 feet (3 meters) in length, making it an excellent choice for specific machine-to-feeder connections, short extensions, or heavy-duty whip leads where maximum current flow is critical.
One of the defining features of the K2483-3 is its connector configuration. One end is terminated with a Tweco-style Male connector (specifically the LC40HD type), which is a standard in the industry for secure, high-conductivity quick connections. This allows for rapid setup and teardown, compatible with a wide range of power sources and cable extensions. The opposite end is left as an "Open End," providing the welder or technician with the versatility to customize the termination. This open end can be fitted with a specific cable lug for machine studs, a heavy-duty electrode holder, or a ground clamp depending on the specific requirement of the welding station.
Durability is paramount in welding environments, and Lincoln Electric utilizes high-quality jacketing materials to protect the copper stranding within. The insulation is designed to withstand the harsh realities of the job site, including exposure to sparks, abrasion from concrete floors, oil, grease, and varying temperatures. The stranded copper core ensures that despite its thick 3/0 gauge, the cable remains flexible enough to be maneuvered around large workpieces without causing excessive fatigue to the operator. Whether used in a shipyard, a pipeline project, or a fabrication shop, the K2483-3 ensures reliable electrical continuity and safety.
Investing in genuine Lincoln Electric cable assemblies like the K2483-3 guarantees compliance with performance standards and longevity. Inferior cables can lead to overheating, arc instability, and frequent replacements. This assembly offers a professional, ready-to-use solution (on the connector side) while maintaining the flexibility for custom integration into existing welding circuits.
