Welding earth clamp

A good earth contact is half of a good weld. The earth clamp closes the circuit between the workpiece and the welder. Poor contact causes an unstable arc, overheating, crackling and defects in the bead, so it pays to keep it in good condition and with the right capacity for your machine.

Made of steel with an ergonomic design, this earth clamp is available in 150, 300 and 600 A versions to cover everything from compact inverters to industrial machines. It is suitable for both the workshop and outdoor work.

Benefits

  • Firm contact: jaws that grip the workpiece well for a stable arc.
  • Three ratings: 150 A, 300 A and 600 A to suit your welder.
  • Made of steel: withstands everyday use in the workshop and on site.
  • Ergonomic: opens and attaches with one hand.

What it is for

  • Replacing a damaged, loose or burnt earth clamp.
  • Making up a new earth cable with welding cable from a roll.
  • Stick, wire and TIG welding, in the workshop and outdoors.

Technical specifications

  • Ratings: 150 A · 300 A · 600 A
  • Material: steel
  • Design: ergonomic
  • Use: workshop and outdoors
  • Supplied as: single unit, without cable

Vetonek tip

Attach the earth to clean metal as close as possible to the welding area: this stops the current passing through bearings, hinges or parts you do not want to heat. If the workpiece is painted or rusty, sand or brush it at the contact point.

Frequently asked questions

Which amperage should I choose?

Equal to or higher than your welder's maximum: 150 A for small machines, 300 A for workshop machines and 600 A for industrial machines.

Is a cable included?

No, it is the clamp only. We stock welding cable and complete kits with cables.

Is it suitable for wire and TIG welding?

Yes, an earth clamp is needed in any arc welding process: stick, MIG/MAG wire and TIG.

Why does the earth clamp get hot?

Usually because of poor contact with the workpiece, a loose cable in the clamp or using a clamp rated lower than the machine.

Where should I place the earth?

On clean metal, as close as possible to the area you are going to weld and never through moving parts.
