How does is build a plasma cutter cable package ?
Or better
I would like to make a plasma torch lead .
Unfortunately I don't find the right parts on my budget so the Idea was make it
The cable/tube that I found is wrong size (to short and needs to replace the torch fitting) and to expensive
Fittings are relatively cheap on AliExpress ,as same for the torch ,the lead is not cheap even there .
So the question is how is built this lead ?
Is an hose with a cable outside similar to TV coassial cables?
Is the conductor inside this hose?
Right section for 50 Amps?
My idea was take some 16mm² cable ,remove the insulation (I have a specialised tool to do ) and use the copper to wrap some 8mm( inner diameter ) rubber or pvc hose ,than heat shrink tubing all the length of the lead
Soldering the connection ,and denim cover
