nVent ERICO Cadweld Cable to Lug or Busbar Welding Connections form a permanent, low-resistance bond that ensures long-lasting performance and reliability. These connections provide a molecular bond and maintain the same current capacity as the conductor. They can withstand repeated fault currents without failure, making them ideal for grounding and bonding applications.
Compatible with a wide range of conductor and connection styles, these nVent ERICO Cadweld Cable to Lug and Cable to Busbar Weld connections provide secure, dependable performance. The mold families LA and LE are designed for use with both straight and offset lugs. The portable installation equipment requires no external power source and is easy to operate. Installers can be trained quickly, and the connections are fully inspectable for quality assurance.

Cadweld Plus utilises the same moulds as the Cadweld Traditional range, but provides the welding material/ metals and starting powder in an enclosed metallic cup. Easier and quicker than Traditional, ignition takes place with a Remote Control Unit. This enables the operator to be even further away from the ignition.
Complies with all recognised Standards Bodies and is famous as the “Number 1” system for exothermic welding. nVent design and manufacture all components of the system in-house, ensuring compatibility across the whole range. When combined with nVent’s grounding and bonding products (ground rods, busbars, connectors, GEM, etc), you are installing the most trusted, complete system in the world – ready to meet any demand.
The CADWELD method fuses metals with a current-carrying capacity equal to the grounding conductor, enabling a better earthing path of potential short-circuit or lighting strikes. The range of exothermic connections includes:
