0000500415 - ESAB 400A Magnetic Welding Ground Clamp

Stop Struggling with Ground Clamps on Flat Surfaces

Every welder knows the frustration of trying to find a good ground on a massive sheet of steel or the middle of a large pipe. Standard spring clamps slide off, pop loose, or simply can't open wide enough to grip the material. The ESAB Magnetic Earth Clamp 400A solves this problem instantly. By using a powerful magnet, this clamp sticks anywhere on your steel workpiece, giving you a solid, reliable ground connection in seconds. No more searching for an edge, and no more welding on temporary tabs just to get a ground.

Heavy-Duty Power Handling

Don't let the convenience fool you; this is a serious tool for serious work. Rated for 400 Amps, this magnetic clamp can handle the heat of heavy structural welding, high-deposition MIG, and flux-cored applications. The broad contact face ensures that the current transfers smoothly into the workpiece, preventing the "hot spots" and arcing that can occur with smaller, cheaper magnets. A solid ground means a smoother arc, less spatter, and better penetration, making your job easier and your welds cleaner.

Versatility and Speed

Time is money in the welding shop. This magnetic clamp drastically reduces setup time. Just place it on the metal, and you are ready to weld. It is perfect for:

• Large Plate Fabrication: Place the ground right next to your weld joint for optimal arc stability.
• Pipe Welding: Attach the ground to the side of a large diameter pipe without needing a specialized strap or clamp.
• Repair Work: Quickly attach to machinery frames or automotive chassis where edges are inaccessible.

The ESAB Magnetic Earth Clamp is built to last. It is designed to withstand the rough-and-tumble environment of a welding shop. While it makes grounding easier, remember that it works on ferrous (magnetic) metals like carbon steel. For welders working on large steel projects, this tool is a game-changer that saves time and frustration on every job.
