FAQ

Questions engineers ask first

Not covered here? Send your drawing — an engineer replies within 2 business hours.

What is the difference between genuine 0361TQ (BS 638-4 / H01N2-D) HOFR rubber welding cable and cheap PVC 'welding' cable?
Genuine 0361TQ uses a cross-linked thermoset Type EM5 HOFR (CSP/PCP) rubber compound and Class 6 (0.20 mm) copper strands. If hot weld spatter lands on 0361TQ, the thermoset rubber chars superficially without melting. Cheap thermoplastic PVC welding cable stiffens in winter, kinks under operator wrist movement, and melts immediately when touched by hot slag or a warm workpiece.
How is welding cable current capacity rated by 'Duty Cycle' (100 %, 85 %, 60 %, 30 %)?
BS 638-4 bases welding cable ratings on a 5-minute cycle. A 60 % duty cycle (typical for semi-automatic MIG welding) means current flows for 3 minutes followed by 2 minutes of cooling off-load, allowing a 50 mm² cable to carry 365 A (versus 285 A at 100 % continuous automatic welding).
What is the difference between H01N2-D and H01N2-E?
Both are harmonized under EN 50525-2-81 with 100/100 V EM5 HOFR rubber covering. H01N2-D uses Class 6 copper with a maximum strand diameter of 0.20 mm; H01N2-E uses an even finer 0.15 mm strand diameter for ultra-flexible automated robotic welding wrists.
Can 0361TQ be used for 12 V / 24 V / 48 V battery bank and inverter cables?
Yes. Because 0361TQ is rated up to 100 V AC / 150 V DC and features oil/flame-retardant EM5 rubber plus ultra-flexible Class 6 copper, it is widely used for heavy-duty starter leads, battery interconnects and busbar flex jumpers.
