Can Welding Cable such as "4/0 ExCELENE Welding Cable", which is rated for 600 Amps within 100 feet, (Per their spec sheet) be used for the incoming service for a 400A Resistance Welder?

Re: Resistance Welder Service Wire Size

Welding cable is not intended or listed for use as a power supply cable. The specs on the site that you listed even say, "this cable is not intended for NEC Article 310 applications or general branch circuit or feeder wires".

Re: Resistance Welder Service Wire Size

don is correct,

the manufacturer states that the application is
"for connections from electrode holder & clamp to arc welder, bus, welding box or transformer. this cable is not intended for NEC Article 310 Applications or general branch circuit & feeder wires."
