nVent ERICO Cadweld Ground Rod to Lug or Busbar Welding Connections
Product overview
nVent ERICO Cadweld Ground Rod to Lug or Busbar Welding Connections provide a permanent, low-resistance bond that ensures durability and reliability in grounding systems. These connections form a molecular bond that will not loosen, break, or corrode, maintaining the same current carrying capacity as the conductor. Designed to withstand repeated fault currents, they guarantee long-lasting performance.
Once the connection is made, installers can easily verify the quality of the weld through visual inspection. With reliable connections that consistently exceed IEEE® 837 2014 EMF test requirements, nVent ERICO Cadweld offers the ultimate solution for grounding applications.

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:
