What Is the Feichun ICEA S-75-381 Portable Arc-Welding Cable 600V?

The Feichun ICEA S-75-381 Arc-Welding Cable 600V is a single-core, highly flexible portable power cable used in the secondary circuit of electric arc-welding systems. Its primary role is to safely and efficiently transfer high welding currents between the welding machine and the electrode holder.

Unlike standard power cables, welding leads must endure:

Continuous flexing
High current loads
Elevated temperatures
Mechanical abrasion
Oil, grease, and industrial contaminants

This cable is engineered to meet those challenges while complying with internationally recognised standards.

Which Standards Does This Arc-Welding Cable 600V Comply With?

Compliance is critical for safety, insurance, and regulatory acceptance. The Feichun welding cable meets or exceeds the following standards:

ICEA S-75-381 / NEMA WC 58 – Portable power and welding cable performance
ASTM B172 & ASTM B33 – Copper conductor material quality
CAN/CSA C22.2 No. 96 – Portable power cable safety
UL 1581 – Electrical and mechanical testing methods

Where Is This Arc-Welding Cable 600V Typically Used?

What Are the Main Application Scenarios?

Manual arc welding (SMAW)
Fabrication workshops
Shipbuilding and steel structures
Mining equipment repair
Construction and infrastructure projects
Heavy industrial maintenance

Its flexibility makes it ideal for handheld electrode holders where operator movement is constant.

How Does This Arc-Welding Cable Compare to Ordinary Power Cables?

Welding Cable vs Standard Power Cable

Feature	Arc-Welding Cable 600V	Standard Power Cable
Flexibility	Extremely high	Moderate
Conductor	Class K/M copper	Class B/C
Current capacity	Very high	Limited
Mechanical durability	Excellent	Average
Suitable for welding	Yes	No

Using a non-welding cable for welding leads significantly increases overheating and safety risks.

What Are the Best Installation and Usage Practices?

Installation Recommendations

Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bending radius
Prevent continuous contact with hot metal surfaces
Use proper strain relief at electrode holders
Regularly inspect jackets for cuts or abrasion
Select conductor size based on maximum welding current, not average load

Correct installation dramatically extends cable service life.
