1 Scope
This European Standard applies to single core, crosslinked elastomer covered arc welding
cables.
The cables are of rated voltage U /U 100/100 V.
The cables are intended for connections between the welding power source and the electrode
holder and the work piece.
Two types of cable are included, with respectively Class D and Class E conductors. These
conductors are more flexible than Class 6 to EN 60228, with Class E having the greater
flexibility.
The maximum conductor operating temperature for each of the cables in this standard is
85 °C.
NOTE HD 516 contains extensive guidance on the safe use of cables in this standard, and gives specific current
ratings and volt drop data.
This EN 50525-2-81 should be read in conjunction with EN 50525-1, which specifies general
requirements.
