For what?

Do you mean for ground/power?

I used to use that 20+ years ago as an alternate to audio power/ground in order to save some cash. Though it did work for what I needed to do, I don't use welding cable anymore for anything other than a welding ground on my MIG.

It deifnitely can handle as much or more current than the AT OFC, but the jacket will be a bit more fragile and it will be less flexible.

Assuming it's a high strand count then it will work fine. I've used 2/0 & 4/0 welding in a few builds....

it is 1254 strands of 30 gauge. I can get 50' for $100

Yes, definitely beware, some wire has a few giant strands, it's a pita to work with.
