0446160893 - ESAB 15m Water-Cooled Interconnection Cable 70mm2

Technical Overview of the ESAB Interconnection Cable Assembly

The ESAB 0446160893 is a high-specification interconnection cable assembly designed to bridge the gap between heavy-duty welding power sources and remote wire feed units. Engineered for industrial environments, this assembly integrates all necessary media lines into a single, durable protective sheath. The core of the assembly is a 70mm² multi-strand copper power cable, capable of transmitting high welding currents with minimal voltage drop over its 15-meter length. This ensures that the arc characteristics remain stable and responsive, even when the operator is working at a significant distance from the power source.

This specific model is configured for water-cooled applications (denoted by the '/W' designation). It includes dedicated coolant supply and return hoses manufactured from reinforced synthetic rubber to withstand the pressures and temperatures associated with industrial cooling systems. Alongside the power and coolant lines, the assembly houses a gas supply hose and a multi-core control cable. The control cable is essential for transmitting signals regarding wire feed speed, voltage control, and trigger logic between the feeder and the power source. The entire bundle is encased in a rugged, abrasion-resistant outer jacket that resists cuts, oil, and heat, making it suitable for harsh fabrication shop floors.

The 'SR' designation typically points to the inclusion of robust Strain Relief systems at the termination points. These strain reliefs are critical for preventing mechanical stress from damaging the internal conductors and hose fittings during movement. Proper installation of this interconnection cable ensures compliance with electrical safety standards and maintains the IP rating of the connected equipment. It is an OEM replacement part, ensuring perfect mating with compatible ESAB equipment interfaces without the need for adapters or modifications.
