nVent ERICO Cadweld Lug or Busbar to Steel Welding Connections

Product overview

nVent ERICO Cadweld Lug or Busbar to Steel Welding Connections provide a permanent, low-resistance bond. This ensures reliable and durable electrical connections. Designed to withstand the life of the installation, these connections are ideal for applications requiring a strong and stable bond between lugs or busbars and steel surfaces.

nVent ERICO Cadweld Lug or Busbar to Steel Welding Connections are engineered to exceed industry standards. Their molecular bond will not loosen, break or corrode. These connections offer the same current carrying capacity as the conductor, making them reliable even under fault current conditions. The portable installation equipment requires no external power source, and installers can be easily trained to make these connections. Plus, the completed connections can be visually inspected to confirm quality.

  • Portable – no external power required
  • Easy to train installers
  • Visual inspection confirms quality

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:
