ING AND GOUGING
Unitor Welding Cable
Welding cables used on board,
on deck or in an engine room, are
exposed to both rough weather, oil
and mechanical wear. The welding_
cable supplied by Unitor has wear,
flame and oil-resistant insulation
on a polychloroprene rubber basis.
itis recognized by its marking at
regular intervals with the text “Unitor
oil resistant welding cable", size of
cable, and the standard for welding
HO1N2-D means that the cable
is produced to an international
harmonized standard,
The conductor is built up from 0.2mm
diameter tinned copper strands to
ensure flexibility.
The cable is available in cross section
areas 35 mm?, 50 mm? and 70 mm?,
and may be supplied in standard
lengths of 10 m, 20 m or 50 m, fitted
with Unitor Safety cable connectors.
Itmay also be ordered in other
lengths, without connectors mounted.
Cable drum
The cable drum with crank and
floor stand is used for storage of up
to 100 m cable. The crank may be
disengaged to avoid accidents when
unwinding cable.
Note that welding cables should
always be stretched out when used,
and excessive lengths should not be
used. A coiled up cable, whether on
a drum or ina coil on deck will act
as an electromagnet when welding
current is flowing. This will cause
increased resistance in the welding
circuit which may have negative
influence on the welding result. The
electromagnetic field created may
also influence vulnerable equipment
in the vicinity of the coil.
