nVent ERICO Cadweld Cable to Steel Surface Welding Connections

Product overview

nVent ERICO Cadweld Cable to Steel Surface Welding Connections deliver a permanent, low-resistance bond for reliable and durable grounding and bonding. These connections create a molecular bond that won’t loosen, break or corrode over time. This ensures long-lasting performance in demanding environments.

Engineered for precision, Cadweld Cable to Steel Surface connections are rated with the same current-carrying capacity as the conductor. They can withstand repeated fault currents without failure. Installers can trust these Steel Surface Welding Connections to deliver consistent results that meet or exceed industry standards.

Connections are visually inspectable for quality assurance

Cadweld Plus Exothermic Welding System

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.

Applications

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:

Cable to Cable

Cable to Ground Rod

Cable to Lug/ Busbar

Cable to Rebar

Busbar to Busbar

Cable to Steel Surface

Cable to Ground Splice

Ground Rod to Lug or Busbar

Lug or Busbar to Steel

Cu or Steel Stud to Steel
