This welding earth clamp is a Nevada Style 350 amp solid and rugged design. It has strong spring jaws.  The product is suitable up to 350 amps.

What is a welding earth clamp? 

The purpose of connecting the equipment enclosure to ground is to ensure that the metal enclosure of the welding machine and ground is at the same potential. When they are at the same potential, a person will not experience an electrical shock when touching the two points. Grounding the enclosure also limits the voltage on the enclosure in the event that insulation should fail within the equipment.

The current carrying capability of the grounding conductor is coordinated with the overcurrent device of the electrical supply system. The coordination of ampacity allows the grounding conductor to remain intact even if there is an electrical fault within the welding machine.

Some welding machines may have a double insulated design. In this case, a grounding conductor connection is not required. This type of welding machine relies on extra insulation to protect the user from shock.

Grounding of electrical circuits is a safety practice that is documented in various codes and standards. A typical arc welding setup may consist of several electrical circuits. Applying and maintaining proper grounding methods within the welding area is important to promote electrical safety in the workplace.
