High-Quality Welding Cable From EWCS

When you’re welding having reliable cables is essential. Because your cables will transfer current from your welding machine to the welding electrode, it has to be able to make tougher than the average cable. Here at EWCS, we manufacture high-quality Welding Cables that can stand up to the abuse of shop work and continue to reliably transfer current. We offer a wide range of cables so you can always find the perfect option for your needs.


At Electric Cable and Wire Specialists (EWCS) we are an American manufacturer dedicated to creating the best wire and cable options. We manufacture all of our cables in the US using the finest copper conductors and sturdy insulators. If your business needs quality wires or cables, our electrical wiring products are the best on the market.

When choosing a welding cable, the first factor to consider is the current. Current is measured in amperage and is a measurement of how much electrical current will be flowing through a wire. If you have higher currents, you need a larger diameter cable. If your cables are too thin they will quickly overheat and potentially fail. Failing cables can cause fires and other serious issues, so it is crucial to make sure you have the right cable size.

Cables are available for sale in standard AWG sizes. The AWG system can be slightly confusing, with larger number corresponding to smaller wire diameters. Past zero, larger cable diameters are measured by more zeros or the shortened 3/0 for 000 sizes. At EWCS we carry welding cables ranging from 6 AWG to 4/0 AWG.

As you move into bigger cables, you need to make sure they have a high count of finely threaded conductors. This will allow the cable to be extremely flexible and make it easier to maneuver your electrode while you work. If your cables lack this flexibility they can easily split and cause a failure.

No matter what size cable you need, the secret to a reliable cable in the insulation. Welding machines are used in a wide variety of environments and having cables that can stand up to abuse can make a huge difference. We manufacture our cables with sturdy and flexible insulation that can resist corrosive chemicals and extreme heat. Our welding cables can handle temperatures ranging from -40°F to 220°F and are rated from 600 volts. They can also be found in red and black, with some sizes also available in blue and green.

If you need high-performance welding cable, you need to check out all of our amazing options here at the Electric Wire and Cable Specialists. We only make the highest quality electrical wiring products and we offer them at manufacturer direct pricing. With our convenient fulfillment centers across the US, we can get our customers the wires and cables they need typically within a few days' time.

The Importance of Fire Alarm Cables

There are few things more important than fire safety. Without the proper fire electrical equipment set up in a small home or a big building, one small fire that starts anywhere in the building can cause a huge safety issue. According to the National Fire Protection Association, an average of seven people die from fires on a daily basis. The fact that this could be prevented makes the situation that much worse. When any type of building gets ready for people to move into it, whether it’s to work or to live, one of the most important things to check is fire safety. Fires spread like no other, so ensuring that the building has the proper fire safety tools to help prevent fires from starting and spreading with no warning to the other occupants in the building is a major factor in the overall safety of the building. Besides actually having a smoke or fire detector in place, one of the most important things all fire alarms need to have to ensure the safety of the building’s occu...

Common Questions About Security and Alarm Cables, Answered

Not sure which type of security or alarm cable your facility or system needs? Hopefully, these answers to common questions can help! What cable is used for alarm systems? Security and alarm systems are usually wired with small-gauge wire specifically designed for the purpose. For instance, many security systems are wired with 12 and 18 AWG gauge alarm wire, as these low-voltage applications do not necessarily require larger, heavier wires. However, larger or wire gauges may be required depending on the circumstances. Also, there are some unique requirements for some systems. For instance, fire alarm cables must be made with specific insulation that is heat resistant and which does not produce toxic smoke when burned. What gauge cable do you need for alarm systems? Only your specific system requirements can answer that question, but often large wire gauges (that is, smaller wires) are used as security and alarm cables because of the low-voltage, low-current application.
