K2149-1 - Lincoln Electric Power Wave Work Lead Assembly, 15ft 4/0 Cable with GC500 Clamp

Product Overview

The Lincoln Electric K2149-1 is a comprehensive Work Lead Package specifically engineered to support the high-output demands of the Power Wave 455 and Power Wave 455/STT welding systems. As a critical accessory for industrial power sources, this package ensures that the electrical circuit is completed with maximum efficiency and safety. The kit is supplied as a fully assembled unit, featuring a 15-foot length of premium 4/0 AWG welding cable. This heavy-gauge cable is selected to handle the substantial current outputs generated by the Power Wave series without overheating or significant voltage drop.

Included in this package is the robust GC500 Ground Clamp, a staple in heavy fabrication environments known for its strong gripping force and high conductivity. The clamp is pre-attached to the cable, allowing for immediate setup out of the box. On the machine side, the cable is terminated with professional-grade lugs designed to bolt securely onto the output studs of the Power Wave 455M and STT models. This secure connection is vital for maintaining the integrity of the welding arc, particularly in precision applications where the power source regulates complex waveforms.

By utilizing the K2149-1 package, operators ensure compatibility and performance in line with Lincoln Electric's specifications. The assembly is rated for 600 Amps at a 60% duty cycle, providing ample overhead for most heavy manufacturing, structural steel, and fabrication tasks. This pre-configured solution simplifies procurement and maintenance, replacing the need to source cable, lugs, and clamps individually.
