Every professional welder knows that a weld is only as good as the circuit that creates it. If your ground clamp is loose or your cable is undersized, you are choking your machine's performance. The ESAB GC-500 Work Cable Assembly (15ft, 4/0) is built to deliver full power to your arc, ensuring that the amperage you set on the machine is the amperage you get at the puddle. Rated for a massive 500 amps, this assembly is the heavy-hitter solution for industrial welders pushing their equipment to the limit.
Why 4/0 Cable Matters:
When welding at high amperages, resistance is the enemy. Thinner cables heat up, causing voltage drop that makes the arc feel soft, unstable, or hard to start. This assembly uses 4/0 AWG cable—one of the thickest standard sizes available—to act as a superhighway for your welding current. This means the cable stays cooler, your machine works more efficiently, and you get a consistent, buttery arc even during long welds on thick plate.
The GC-500 Advantage:
The included GC-500 clamp isn't your average stamped metal clip. It is engineered to bite down hard on the workpiece. A solid connection at the clamp prevents the common issue of arcing at the contact point, which can damage your base metal and the clamp itself. The 15-foot length gives you enough room to work around large assemblies without having so much excess cable that it becomes a tripping hazard or a coil of resistance.
Built for the Shop:
Industrial environments are tough on gear. Cables get dragged over concrete, stepped on, and exposed to hot sparks. The jacket on this ESAB cable is formulated to resist cuts and abrasion, ensuring a long service life. Stop fighting with hot, undersized cables and weak clamps. Upgrade to the ESAB GC-500 assembly and experience the difference a true heavy-duty ground makes in your weld quality.
