Is the power supply cable bolted or soldered to terminals? Also, what is the max. welding wire size?

The power supply cables are push and lock terminals inside the machine. The maximum recommended welding wire size is .035".

Mine arrived with over two feet of cable soldered to the panel, no diode. Wire insulation cut, but left on wire ends. No connectors

It should have a short cable coming off of the back side of the panel. I don't believe mine had any connectors so those will have to be soldered on or crimped if you don't have solder equipment.

How long is the piece of string? Unless you're doing hardware mod, 800w should be more than enough

It has a positive and a negative cable that you need to solder/crimp to a switch or clamps. Then attach to a battery or 12volt power supply.

The amp rating is for the jaws only. NEC table 310-16 shows that 1awg wire will do a max of 150 amps, and even professional rated welding cable at 1awg will only handle about 190 amps. The highest rated consumer available wire I've seen is 750MCM wire, which is over 1.15" in diameter, not nearly flexible or light enough for jumper cable use, and is still only rated at 535 amps.

Thanks for the detailed info. Are there set screws to connect the power or do you have to splice the wires to connect the power?

If you're talking about a long roll strip, one end has the pin connectors and the other end has wires to splice what I did was cut in half,bought a separate power supply and spliced wires. If you're talking about short LED strips, I don't think you can cut those and use again without Soldering

It came with cables for stick welding, no tig. It's still performing very well for me - since I put in a 30 amp breaker.

It says on the part that installs on the fan: Power, AC120V/60HZ 2W, RATING 1.25A FOR FAN AND 300W FOR LIGHT KIT It also says below that : TERMINAL BLOCKS FOR USE WITH COPPER CONDUCTORS ONLY, 14-22AWG, TIGHTENING TORQUE 2-18 IN-1B

Cut off the MC4 connectors... strip the insulation, and connect the wires with appropriate connector.How many watts is the panel?

The way it feels and flexes, I would say it's copper. I really don't know but it says that it's no. 8 wire so I think it is. Can't the manufacturer be asked? I really don't know for sure. If you find out, can you tell me please? It works fine on my welding machine.

Industry standard insulated welding cable. Made from 30-gauge soft-drawn copper strands for superior flexibility. Finished diameter is 6 gauge. Properties: 600v, -40 deg C. to +90 deg C., heavy duty/all purpose.

7 watts is the max I think on this controller. Use a light cord (one with ribs). It is find in size and strong. Solder then you will have a better connection at the end of the copper wire.

Connectors are a hit our miss, so soldering is the way to go. Cut the strips the size you want then scratch a small area with a razor knife down to the copper base then put a dab of flux on that area and add a dab of solder with a hot soldering iron. This is called tinning. Do the same to the wire that you are using then take the iron without adding more solder and touch both together.

Yes I have soldered ring terminals onto it. You'll have to use a torch. They do sell a all copper wire to I believe. You'll get better performance out of the all copper, but for my application this worked really well. Knukonceptz have really good products. I'm using them for all future purchases.

honestly it is like 10ga. wiring. Its pretty good wiring. it will hold all of 30 amps.
