0700156013 - ESAB 5m Ground Return Lead Assembly

Heavy-Duty ESAB Ground Return Lead

Upgrade your welding setup with the ESAB Earth Cable w/Clamp L=5M (0700156013), a premium ground lead assembly designed for industrial performance. In the world of welding, the "work lead" or ground cable is often overlooked, yet it plays a critical role in the electrical circuit. A compromised ground can lead to resistance buildup, overheating components, and erratic arc performance. ESAB has engineered this cable assembly to address these issues, delivering a robust solution for professional welding applications.

This assembly features a generous 5-meter length, providing ample reach for working on large automotive frames, structural steel, or pipe assemblies. The core of the cable utilizes fine-stranded copper, which offers superior flexibility compared to coarser cables. This flexibility is crucial for reducing strain on the connector at the machine end and making the cable easier to manipulate around obstacles in the shop. The insulation is tough and abrasion-resistant, designed to survive dragging across concrete floors and contact with sharp metal edges.

The included ground clamp is built for longevity and secure gripping. It features a wide jaw opening to accommodate various material thicknesses and a high-tension spring to maintain constant pressure. This ensures low contact resistance, which keeps the clamp cool and the arc stable. The machine-end connector is a standard industrial type (typically Dinse/OKC style compatible with ESAB machines), allowing for quick and secure attachment to your power source.

Performance and Durability

Designed for use with a wide range of welding processes including GMAW, GTAW, and SMAW, this earth cable is a versatile addition to any welder's toolkit. By ensuring a low-impedance return path, it helps maintain the set voltage and amperage parameters, resulting in cleaner starts and smoother weld beads. Don't let a bad ground compromise your work; choose the ESAB 0700156013 for reliable, professional results every time you strike an arc.
