CADWELD® Welded Electrical Connections - by ERICO
Connections are often the weak point in ground circuits, especially when subjected to high currents and corrosion. Only the CADWELD exothermic system can provide the permanent, low-resistance connection needed to create a long-lasting, reliable grounding network.
CADWELD® CONNECTIONS:
- Are superior to mechanical or pressure-type surface-to-surface connectors
- Can carry more current than the conductor
- Produce a permanent molecular bond - won't corrode, rust or loosen with age
- Will resist repeated fault currents
- Will never increase in resistance
CADWELD® WELDED ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Connections are often the weak point in ground circuits, especially if they are subjected to high currents and corrosion. The capacity of a grounding circuit to protect property and personnel depends on the quality of itâs connections. Only the CADWELD exothermic system can provide the permanent, low-resistance connection needed to create a long-lasting, reliable grounding network.
FEATURES
- Current carrying (fusing) capacity equal to that of the conductor
- Will not deteriorate with age
- Permanent molecular bond that cannot loosen or corrode over time
- Will withstand repeated faults
- Low labor costs
- Made with inexpensive, lightweight and portable equipment No special skills are required
- No external power or heat required
- Can be checked for quality by visual inspection
