FurseWELD
Introduction
FurseWELD exothermic welding is a cost efficient method of making large or small
numbers of high quality electrical connections.
The FurseWELD process
FurseWELD 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
–– Completely portable
–– Can be used safely with minimum training
–– Cost effective
–– Can be used for over 45 connection configurations
The FurseWELD connection
FurseWELD connections have several advantages:
–– Tolerant to repeated fault currents
–– Highly conductive
–– Does 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.
