A man bought a welding inverter so that he could weld a new fence, gate, outdoor shower on his site this summer, and he has a lot of things in his plans.
But in order to cook all this and it was convenient for you, the first thing you need to do is take the welding wires with the holder and mass, which come with the device, and put them in the farthest corner of the garage!
Friends, everyone who bought a new welding machine knows that a set of welding wires has a very short length, the grip and weight are of the lowest quality and quickly fail. Welding with short wires is very inconvenient, you will constantly carry the device here and there, and if you weld at a height, you will have to hang the device somewhere.
Therefore, in order to bring to mind your welding machine, you will have to separately bribe and assemble a set of welding wires of normal length, as well as a good grip and a reliable clothespin of mass.
More than a year ago I published an article HOW MUCH IT IS POSSIBLE TO EXTEND THE WELDING WIRES ON YOUR INVERTER. Read it, very useful to know.
Now let's estimate how much it will cost to buy this kit in a store to assemble welding wires of normal length.
Take, for example, an apparatus of 200 amperes, if the apparatus gives out exactly these 200 amperes, then it needs the welding cable is 25 mm square, and its maximum permissible length is 12 meters - this is both a grip and weight.
But most likely few devices, even if 200 amperes are declared, will be two hundred amperes. Therefore, it will be quite possible to buy a welding cable for 16 squares, its permissible length for such devices will be 9 meters - this is the mass plus the holder, which means you can have 4 m of mass and 5 m for the holder.
But let's round up a little and keep in mind that we need 10 meters of such a cable.
In our village, a meter of this cable costs about 135 rubles, which means we are preparing 1,350 rubles for the cable.
A normal screw holder for 200 amperes, this is mine in the photo, we have 650-700 rubles.
Such welding connectors will cost 150-200 rubles.
Here is such a welding mass with a clothespin, this is my photo, I bought it for 250 rubles.
Now let's add all these numbers.
We need 2500 rubles to buy these parts. Such a minimum amount will be required for our new device to become fully functional!
Friends, just wondering who, after buying welding, extended their welding cables? On my 200 ampere inverter I put 10 meters on the grip and on the ground, it is very convenient to work, with factory cables I would move the device from place to place 100 times a day!
