The invention relates to an electricity saving technology of an electric welding machine, in particular to an electrode holder structure for electricity saving of the electric welding machine. The electrode holder structure has the beneficial effects that only when an operator holds a weld handle of an electrode holder by hands to perform welding operation, can the electric welding machine have normal power supply, and when the hands put down the weld handle to stop welding, the electric welding machine automatically enters a micro-power-consumption standby welding state, so that the purpose of saving electric energy is achieved.
