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
