37833 - 25ft 50A Welder Extension Cord NEMA 6-50

Industrial Grade Power Extension for Welding Equipment

The ESAB 37833 Power Extension Cord is a critical accessory for industrial environments where welding equipment mobility is restricted by power outlet locations. Engineered to handle the rigorous demands of high-amperage welding processes, this 25-foot extension cord is rated for 50 Amps and 230 Volts, making it universally compatible with single-phase industrial welding power sources. The cord utilizes a heavy-duty STW jacket, which stands for Service Grade, Thermoplastic, and Weather-resistant, ensuring it withstands exposure to oils, solvents, acids, and the physical abrasion common in metal fabrication shops.

Voltage drop is a significant concern when extending power to inverter or transformer-based welding machines, as it can lead to unstable arcs and poor weld quality. This extension cord addresses that issue with high-quality 8 AWG copper conductors (8/3 configuration) that maintain consistent voltage delivery over the 25-foot span. The molded NEMA 6-50P (plug) and NEMA 6-50R (receptacle) ends are factory-bonded to the cable, providing superior strain relief compared to field-assembled connectors. This integration prevents the common failure point where cable strands pull away from screw terminals inside the plug housing.

Safety and compliance are paramount in professional settings. This cord is designed to meet North American safety standards for temporary power distribution. The grounding pin is fully integrated to ensure the chassis of your welding machine remains properly grounded, protecting the operator from electrical faults. Whether utilized for MIG, TIG, or Plasma Cutting equipment, the ESAB 37833 provides a reliable, low-resistance link to your facility's power grid, ensuring your equipment operates within its specified duty cycle and performance parameters.
