My question is regarding the use of welding cable in panels. Suppliers list the amperage ratings for welding cable. However, the NEC states very little about the use of welding cable other than with welding equipment.
Welding cable offers a couple of great advantages. First, it is very flexible in tight locations. Second, the ampacity is much higher for smaller gauges in comparison to THHN cable for example.
Is welding cable suitable for short distances as an alternative? I have a situation where it would be extremely helpful to use welding cable and was wondering if anyone have any information on this subject.
