YHV rubber-sheathed cable, commonly known as welding cable, is a cable specifically designed for welding machines. It is suitable for secondary wiring and connection of welding machines with an AC voltage to ground not exceeding 200V and a pulsating DC peak voltage of 400V. The long-term operating temperature should not exceed 65°C. Next, I will introduce the relevant parameters and characteristics of YHV welding cable.


YHV welding cable parameters:


1. YHV cable operates under low voltage (maximum voltage is 200V) and high current conditions, requiring a certain degree of resistance.


2. The long-term allowable operating temperature of the welding gun cable should not exceed 65°C.


3. Motor lead cables are frequently moved, twisted, and deployed, requiring flexibility and good bending properties.


4. During deployment, they are easily scratched and rubbed by sharp steel components, so the cable insulation must have excellent mechanical properties such as tear resistance and abrasion resistance.


5. Operating conditions are complex, such as exposure to sunlight, boiling water, muddy water, engine oil, and acidic and alkaline liquids, requiring certain weather resistance, oil resistance, and solvent resistance.


6. Occasionally exposed to hot welds, requiring excellent heat deformation resistance.


7. Frequent movement requires a small outer diameter and light weight. Since these cables do not require high electrical performance and operate in complex environments, requiring them to withstand various complex environmental factors is unsuitable. During use, ensure optimal operating conditions and prevent external damage.


YHV Welding Cable Features


1. Flexibility: Exceptionally flexible with excellent bending properties.


2. Jacket: Made of natural rubber or a chloroprene rubber blend, the chloroprene rubber blend jacket is heat-resistant, oil-resistant, and flame-retardant, making it suitable for a variety of applications.


4. Special Features: Strong weather resistance and abrasion resistance.


The above is a brief introduction to the relevant parameters and performance of YHV welding cables. In reality, each cable specification and model is suitable for specific applications based on its own performance characteristics. There are many specifications of YH cables, and their performances are different but not conflicting. Therefore, if you want to know what wires and cables are mainly used in what places, you need to understand the basic parameters and performance of other specifications and models of cables.
