8 Gauge 3 Conductor SOOW Portable Cord For iTig200 Welder (Welding Machine)

Our customer, Richard out up in Wisconsin sent us a photo of a iTg200 Welder he is currently using.

Richard purchased our 8/3 SOOW Portable Cord 600V to hook up to the welding machine.  Richard is learning how to weld and is beginning with welding bicycle frames!

Here is what Richard had to say:

The welding machine I am using is an Everlast Power iTig 200. It’s 200 amp and recommends a 40 amp breaker. I am learning to TIG weld with it and working to get good enough to weld bicycle frames. Just got a foot pedal and that helped a bunch on thin walled tubing. Welded right along the edge of some 1/16 inch tubing tonight with out blowing the edge away. The 40 amp 8/3 SOOW portable cable from the range outlet in the house works great.

18 AWG 8 Conductor SOOW Portable Cord – For HHO Control Box System

18 8 SOOW

Sending a big thanks to our customer Tom, a crafty inventor in Ohio, who built this HHO Control Box System from scratch!

(Wire & Cable To Go is convinced we have some of the most creative & unique customers on the planet!)

Tom decided to buy our 18 AWG 8 Conductor SOOW Portable Cord to replace T-Stat Wire he was currently using for his application.  Tom wanted a more flexible cord that was also color coded.  The SOOW was a perfect fit due to its flexible rubber jacket and multi-conductors which are all color coded.

Wire And Cable Your Way offers a wide variety of SOOW Portable Cords from 2 awg – 18 awg with conductors ranging from 2-40.

#2 Welding Cable for Hybrid Solar Electrical System

You never know what sort of surprises you may find throughout the day!

Yesterday, we received a wonderful hand-written letter along with print photos from our dear customer, Bill, who wrote us about his hybrid solar electrical system he has around his home. Here is what Bill had to say:

Dear Wire And Cable Your Way,

Once again I want to thank you for your prompt service.  It was just shy of 24 hours from the time I placed my order with you that the welding cable was in my hands.

I’m using your welding cable as feed lines for a hybrid electrical system in our cabin in the Adirondack Mountains of New York State.  We are 3/4 of a mile off the nearest paved road so we use a wind turbine and solar panels to keep our battery bank charged.

This photo is of our wind turbine:

Wind_Turbine

It’s 46′ in the air & produces 400 Watts of at 12 Volts D.C.

Due to the tower height and total distance from the battery bank, 112′, I used your #2 Welding Cable as feed lines.  The cable was chosen to minimize line loss.

I ran your welding cable down the inside of the pipe and out the base. The welding cable exits the tower and goes underground through conduit into the the cabin.  The smaller diameter houses the ground from the lightening arrestor (also using your #2 awg welding cable).

Welding_Cable Base

This panel house 2 breakers, one for stopping the turbine (for maintenance), and the other is a battery disconnect.  I should mention that being able to buy welding cable with a red or black jacket makes keeping polarity a no-brainer.

Breaker Welding Cable

Welding Cable Breaker

These other photos of the welding cable show our battery bank of 6-110 amp hour AGM Batteries (they do not off gas so are approved for use indoors).  Again I used your #2 welding cables for the inter connects.

Battery Bank

We also have our 3000 Watt Inverter which takes the 12 Volts D.C. from the battery and connects it to the 120 Volt A.C. and feeds our distribution panel.

3000 Watt Inverter

Thanks to your high-quality welding cables the system is able to run our entire cabin, fridge, lights, water pump, radio & TV. I am in the process of upgrading our solar panels and will be using your welding as well.

Again, thank you for the great product and very prompt service.  I will be doing business with you again and you can be assured I will highly recommend “Wire And Cable Your Way” to anyone in need of electrical wire & cable.

-Bill

12/3 SOOW Portable Cord for Food & Machine Equipment

Wire & Cable To Go wants to send a big thanks to our customer Javier who sent us this photo of a tortilla making machine his company manufactures & sells connected with a 12/3 SOOW Portable Cord!

I was happy to see this because I love all things tortilla – tortilla chips with dip – tortillas for fajitas – or a tortilla wrapped in a good ole breakfast burrito!  Maybe we can get one for the office, Javier?

The machine requires a 12/3 SOOW Portable Cord 600v UL/CSA Listed and Javier decided to buy 250′ of the 12/3 SOOW Portable Cord for multiple machines.

For those not too familier with 12/3 SOOW – it is a flexible rubber portable cord UL listed that is 12 gauge with 3 conductors and good for 600 volts.

Our friend & customer up in the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York sent us an incredible letter with a bunch of photos and descriptions of a wind turbine and solar panel set up outside his cabin.

I will post the letter shortly but first wanted to show his battery bank hooked up with #2 Welding Cable Class K he purchased from Wire & Cable To Go recently.

The battery bank has 6-110 amp hour AGM batteries (they do not off gas so are approved for use indoors). From the photo it looks like he is using UB121100 Universal Batteries.

The wind turbine being used is 46′ in the air and produces 400 watts at 12 volts DC.

Welding Cables are VERY POPULAR cables for batteries banks that our customers purchase for their wind turbines and solar panels.

14/7 Tray Cable & Portable Cords For A/C Mini-Split Control Cable

blog-Jun13

Wire & Cable To Go just received these photos from our friend and customer Michael in Virginia, who purchased our 14/7 Tray Cable (THHN-PVC) for a 1200 btu mini split ductless heat pump – a/c unit.

Our 14 awg multi-conductor Tray Cable (THHN-PVC) are common for mini-split a/c control cabling.  They come in multicolored conductors which can be seen above.

Other popular cables our customers purchase for a/c control cabling are multiconductor SOOW & SEOOW Portable Cords.

One of the main differences between the Tray Cables and the SOOW/SEOOW Portable Cords are the difference in the outside jackets.

The SOOW & SEOOW are more flexible cords while the Tray Cable has a stiffer PVC jacket.
