OVERVIEW

Expand Your Workspace with the Hobart 230V Extension Cord

In the world of welding and fabrication, mobility is often limited by the length of your power cord. The Hobart 770644 230V Extension Cord is the ultimate solution for welders who need that extra reach without compromising on safety or power delivery. Designed specifically for high-power equipment, this 25-foot extension cord allows you to move your machine around the shop, garage, or job site, bringing the welder to the work rather than struggling to position heavy workpieces near a wall outlet.

Safety and durability are paramount when dealing with high-voltage equipment. This cord features a rugged 8-gauge, 3-conductor (8/3) construction wrapped in a durable blue PVC jacket. The STW rating ensures the cord is tough enough to withstand the rigors of a working shop environment, offering resistance to abrasion, moisture, and sunlight. Unlike standard household cords, this heavy-duty cable is engineered to handle the continuous current draw of welding machines and plasma cutters, rated for up to 40 amps of service.

One of the standout features of this Hobart extension cord is the lighted ends. Both the NEMA 6-50P male plug and the NEMA 6-50R female receptacle contain neon indicators that light up when power is flowing. This provides an instant visual check, saving you time troubleshooting power issues and ensuring the line is hot before you strike an arc. The molded connectors include integrated strain relief, which prevents the internal wires from pulling away from the plug terminals during use, significantly extending the lifespan of the cord.

Whether you are using a Miller, Hobart, or any other brand of 230V welder with a standard NEMA 6-50 plug, this extension cord is a universal fit. It eliminates the need for expensive electrical work to install new outlets, providing a flexible and cost-effective way to power your projects wherever they sit.
