Q. Why does my earth clamp get hot?

Answer

An excessive resistance in the welding circuit, which is typically caused by grounding the work clamp improperly or insufficiently, is the source of the heat that users are currently experiencing as a result of welding. The higher resistance has a detrimental impact on the amount of welding current that can be drawn from the power source. In the event that the bolt comes loose, the clamp force will be reduced. Lose bolts are more than simply an annoyance; they can also be dangerous. An operation may begin leaking the bolt may break, fluid or gas, gear may be destroyed, or a catastrophic accident may occur if the joint is not retightened immediately.
