How many cables does a welder have?

  1. 1

  2. 2

  3. 3

  4. 4

The correct answer is: 1

A welder typically has one cable. This cable is the electrode cable that delivers the welding current from the welding machine to the electrode holder. The electrode holder holds the welding rod or wire that creates the arc necessary for welding. While there may be other cables for grounding or auxiliary functions, the essential cable for welding is the electrode cable, which is why the correct answer is one cable.
