Xtrweld WCS3/0B-500 Welding Cable 600V 3/0 Awg

Product Description

The XTRWELD WCS3/0B-500 is a 3/0 AWG welding cable rated at 600 volts, supplied on a single 500-foot reel. The conductor uses a rope-lay, bunch-stranded construction with a paper separator, which gives the cable the flexibility needed for continuous movement in welding environments. The jacket is a low-smoke halogen-free (LSHF) EPDM compound with abrasion resistance, making it well suited for demanding shop and field conditions. The cable carries an amperage rating of 500 amps at 50 feet. Welding contractors, industrial electricians, and maintenance technicians install this cable in portable and fixed welding setups where flexibility, durability, and voltage rating are critical selection criteria.

This cable is intended for use as a welding lead or grounding return in arc welding applications, including MIG, TIG, and stick processes. The 3/0 AWG conductor size and 600-volt rating make it appropriate for both light industrial and heavy-duty commercial welding operations. The LSHF EPDM jacket performs in environments where heat, oil, and mechanical abrasion are present. The 500-foot reel length allows field cutting to required run lengths, reducing waste on large installations or service vehicle stocking.

Key Features

• 3/0 AWG rope-lay, bunch-stranded copper conductor for maximum flexibility
• 600-volt rating suitable for welding lead and return applications
• LSHF EPDM abrasion-resistant jacket — low smoke, halogen-free for improved safety in enclosed spaces
• Paper separator between conductor and jacket aids in stripping and termination
• 500-amp capacity at 50 feet
• Supplied as a 500-foot reel; sold by the foot (UOM: Foot)

Compatibility

Designed as a welding lead and grounding return cable for arc welding equipment requiring 3/0 AWG conductor size at 600-volt ratings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician or certified welding equipment technician in accordance with NFPA 70 (NEC) Article 630 governing electric welders. De-energize and lock out the welding machine before connecting or disconnecting cable leads. Use appropriately rated lugs and connectors crimped or mechanically secured for the conductor size. Avoid sharp bends at termination points to preserve conductor integrity over repeated flexing cycles.
