0446134890 - ESAB Versotrac Power Cable 15m 120mm2

High-Performance Power Delivery for Automated Welding

The ESAB Welding Cable 15M/120MM2 (0446134890) is a critical component designed specifically for the Versotrac submerged arc welding (SAW) tractor system. In the realm of heavy industrial fabrication, the integrity of power transmission is paramount. Submerged arc welding typically operates at high amperages and high duty cycles—often 100%—to achieve deep penetration and high deposition rates. This cable features a substantial 120 mm² cross-section (approximately equivalent to 250 MCM), which is essential for carrying these heavy currents safely and efficiently without excessive heating.

Voltage drop is a significant concern in long cable runs, particularly in automated setups where the welding head travels along large structures like beams, tanks, or ship hulls. This 15-meter assembly minimizes resistance, ensuring that the voltage set at the power source is delivered accurately to the arc. This stability is crucial for maintaining consistent weld bead profiles and mechanical properties in the finished joint. The cable is sheathed in a durable, industrial-grade jacket that provides excellent resistance to cuts, abrasion, oil, and the radiant heat typical of heavy welding environments.

Designed as a direct OEM replacement or extension for the Versotrac system, this cable ensures seamless compatibility with ESAB's modular tractor units. Its construction balances the need for heavy copper content with the flexibility required for a moving tractor, allowing the unit to traverse the workpiece without undue drag or cable strain. For facilities utilizing the Versotrac for longitudinal welding, this heavy-duty cable assembly offers the reliability and reach necessary to maximize uptime and weld quality.
