Introduction FurseWELD
The FurseWELD connection
FurseWELD connections have several advantages:
tolerant to repeated fault currents
highly conductive
do not loosen
excellent corrosion resistance
Most FurseWELD connections have at least twice the
cross-sectional area of the conductors being joined,
and an equivalent or greater current carrying capacity.
Corrosion resistance is exceptional because of the very
high copper content (> 90%) of the alloy.
The FurseWELD process
FurseWELD exothermic welding is a cost efficient
method of making large or small numbers of
high quality electrical connections. It is a simple,
self-contained system that uses the high
temperature reaction of powdered copper oxide
and aluminium, within a mould, to form permanent
electrical connections.
Typical applications include:
Earthing for power plants and substations
Telecommunications
Transmission and power distribution lines
Cathodic protection
Rail connections
The FurseWELD system:
requires no external power or heat source
creates high quality electrical connections
is completely portable
can be used safely with minimum training
is cost effective
can be used for over 45 standard
connection configurations
