Like a solar cable, a welding cable is a type of electric cable. A welding cable is a portable cord featuring a single annealed conductor, which in most cases, is made out of copper. A welding cable usually is stranded finely to enhance flexibility. They come in varying sizes ranging from 6 AWG to 500 MCM. Many are times when a welding cable is referred to as a grounding cable. Welding cables are famous for their flexibility and versatility owing to the mode of its construction. Additionally, welding cables are considered the most flexible form of electric wires in the market. Welding cables are constructed in such a way that they can withstand grease, oil and water, cuts, tears, and other forms of abrasions.

The uses of welding cables

• Welding cables are used to supply power to secondary circuits used by electric welders. The electricity provided is used to control the electrode. The electrodes are used to release the amount of charge that is needed for the process of welding.
• Welding cables are also used in the manufacturing industry. In such places, they are used to power resistance welding as well as arc welding devices.
• In manufacturing industries, welding cables can also be used in the place of damaged wires.
• Welding cables can also be attached to generators and other machines in industries
• Welding cables can also be applied in power supply applications that involve less than 600 volts of electricity
• This type of electric cables can also be used in tight batteries
• Welding cables are a better alternative to battery cables due to their efficiency
• These cables are also used in marine situations, in which case they have to be coated with further insulating materials as they are not designed to be resistant to oil and water. Exposure of regular welding cables to oil or water may result in saturation of the cables.

Features of welding cables 

Insulating jacket

Welding cables consist of a fine insulating coat that helps the cable withstand abrasions from rough surfaces.

Copper strands

The beautiful copper strands allow for the flexibility of the welding cables. Copper is also an excellent conductor that ensures that the welding cable is resistant to heat, burns, sparks, and abrasions that may arise during industrial works or welding duties.

Welding cables are used for heavy duties hence are prone to damages. This, therefore, means that care should be taken when using the wires to ensure that they last long. Such cables should also be cleaned with grease and oil. This helps to keep them functioning correctly. In case there are damages to the welding cable, especially the part of the cable that is nearest to the electrode, it is essential to replace the wires as soon as possible to prevent such issues as fire outbreaks.  

Conclusion

There have been several comparisons between welding cables and battery cables. The difference between these two types of electrical cables is that welding cables have slightly less thick copper strands as opposed to the latter. Battery cables are also more tightly compacted.

The periodic table of elements has come fine as one of the most famous concepts of science over the years. This table was developed over the years by a man known as Dmitri Mendeleev and Lother Meyer around the year 1869. This table contains a number of elements present in the world, even the less natural occurring ones. It goes to prove that the universe also posses the same compounds and components as other planets and space itself. This table has an order from groups that go from top to bottom or orders from elements that go from top to bottom.

In the universe, earth and outer space, all energy and matter we observe are made and caused by these elements. These elements are substances that are made up of atoms and have a similar amount of protons present.

Atoms

Atom is a word that was derived from a Greek word. It means invisible and it is the smallest and most indivisible part of any element. If you take a part of an element such as silver and have it divided into two parts, they are still considered as silver. No matter how many times and how many parts you have them divided into, they can and will always remain that particular element.

Let’s say you have a single silver element. This cab ever very difficult to divide but let’s say you do. Once you divide it, it isn’t referred to as single after that. That goes to show that atoms aren’t indivisible by principle but instead become other atoms when they are divided.

Atoms might be small but they play a large part and consist of nothing in a spatial sense. What’s left is just the nucleus and shells. However, this nucleus consists of neutrons and protons which are shells of electrons. They are also more neutral when it comes to electricity and protons are positively charged. Neurons are responsible for the negatively charged electrons which circle around the nucleus as opposite sides attack each other hence the plus and minus attraction.

Properties Of A Periodic Table

Properties of an element on the periodic table are due to the number and arrangement of electrons. It is also important to know that electrons in the outermost shell are very important and they are known as valence electrons. This means that different elements possess different chemical properties but elements present in the same group possess similar properties due to their valence electrons. The number of shells present in an atom depends on the number of electrons although notion shells aren’t not to be taken literally.

The very first element that was thought to occur after the Big Bang was hydros which consist of single protons. The universe became so hot and dense and this made it fuse to form helium and nothing relating to elements happened in a long time. The periodic table shows us all these elements and what they consist of both on earth and outside of it. It is also called the periodic table of elements.
