DLO cable or Welding cable?
Is there a big difference between welding cable and DLO cable? Both are single conductor cables but that is about where the similarities end. Diesel locomotive cable is available from 10 awg up to 777.7 MCM. This cable is rated 90 degrees celsius and 2000 volt. Primary uses include of course diesel locomotives as well as oil and gas rigs, motor leads, mining and earth moving equipment and shipyards. There is usually an inner insulation as well as outer jacket which affords tremendous impact and abrasion resistance.
Welding cable is generally available from 6 awg up to 500 MCM. While not quite as robust as DLO cable, welding cable is also used in situations where power generation is needed. Many people use this cable when they need to power generators or similar type equipment. This cable is usually rated at 600 volts and 90 degree celsius.
