I've used my water cooled torch up to around 120-130amps. Not continuous but for small welds and I'm too lazy to lean over and turn on the cooler...

But at least your power cable was filled with water. Without that, they only last seconds. The power cable in a typical water cooled setup is only about 10 gauge wire, it really depends on the fluid to stay in one piece. Compare that with the size of your ground cable...Originally Posted by CGCINC
