220V Power Cord

Power up your welding projects with confidence using an ArcCaptain 220V power cord. Built tough for heavy-duty performance, these cords give you safe, steady power for your welder or other high-voltage tools.

With durable copper wiring, rugged insulation, and flexible design, they’re made to handle the toughest shop or jobsite conditions.

At ArcCaptain, we’ve designed our 220V cords to deliver reliability, heat resistance, and long-lasting strength so you can focus on the work in front of you, not your power connection.

Get Safe Steady Power Every Time You Plug In

Your tools are only as strong as the power feeding them. Our 220V cords are made to keep your machines running smoothly without overheating or voltage drops.

Heavy Duty Copper Wiring for Reliable Performance

Each cord uses 100% copper conductors for maximum conductivity. That means steady power flow, less heat build-up, and longer cord life.

• Pure copper for efficient energy transfer
• Better performance under heavy loads
• Reduces risk of power loss or damage

Work With Freedom and Flexibility Anywhere

Whether you’re in a shop or outdoors, extra reach and rugged build mean you can move freely without worrying about your power source.

Long Length Options for More Workspace

Choose from different lengths to match your setup. No more dragging your welder too close to the outlet.

• Flexible jackets that resist cracking
• Stays tough in hot or cold weather
• Handles rough use in shops, garages, and job sites

Built to Handle Heat and Tough Conditions

Welding creates sparks, heat, and rough conditions. These 220V cords are ready for it all.

Heat Resistant Jackets for Maximum Safety

Designed with thick insulation and heat-resistant jackets, these cords stay safe even in demanding environments.

• Withstands high temperatures without melting
• Protects against abrasion and wear
• Safe for indoor and outdoor use

Easy Compatibility for Welders and Tools

No guesswork, just plug and power. Our 220V cords are designed to fit standard outlets and welder plugs.

Nema Plug Compatibility for Simple Setup

Standardized plugs make it easy to connect without extra adapters.

• Works with most 220V welders and machines
• Simple, secure connections every time
• Saves time and effort on setup

FAQs on 220V Power Cords

Do you need a special extension cord for 220V?

Yes, you need a cord rated for 220V use. A standard household extension cord is not safe because it cannot handle the higher voltage and amperage. A proper 220V extension cord uses thicker wire, heavy-duty insulation, and the right plug type to safely carry the load.

What wires go where on a 220 plug?

A typical 220 plug has three wires: two hot wires and one ground. The two hot wires connect to the terminals that supply the 220 volts, while the ground connects to the grounding terminal. This setup ensures the correct flow of electricity and safe operation of the connected tool.

Does it matter which wire goes where on a 220 breaker?

Yes, it matters. Each hot wire must be connected to a separate terminal on the breaker to provide the full 220 volts. The ground wire must be connected to the ground bar. Mixing up the connections can cause electrical hazards, equipment damage, or even fire.

Can I use a 220V extension cord with a 110V outlet?

No, you cannot. A 220V cord is built for higher voltage and has a different plug design. Forcing it into a 110V outlet is unsafe and may damage the cord, outlet, or connected equipment. Always match the cord to the outlet and tool rating.

What gauge wire is best for a 220V extension cord?

The right gauge depends on the amperage and length of the cord. For most welders, 8 or 10 gauge wire is recommended because it can handle higher current without overheating. Choosing the correct gauge prevents power loss and keeps your setup safe.

Can a 220V extension cord be used outdoors?

Yes, if it is rated for outdoor use. Outdoor-rated cords have thicker jackets that resist moisture, heat, and abrasion. Always check the cord’s specifications before using it outside to ensure safety and durability.
