Dinse Type Cable Plugs

    Dinse type Plugs push in and twist to lock, they are the most common type of plug for fitting welding cables to welding machines.

    The welding cables should be selected with sufficiently large cable cross-sections to suit the connectors and amps required.

    When the cross-sections are too small, a large part of the power is consumed by the high cable resistance.
