The exothermic connection on metal structures

Product catalog summary

Overview of Exothermic Connection Advantages:

Permanent Electrical Continuity: Ensures optimal flow of fault and lightning currents through a molecular bond without contact resistance.
Short-Circuit Current Withstand: Provides total resistance to electrodynamic stresses.
Galvanic Corrosion Resistance: Offers immunity to chemical and electrolytic attacks through total metal fusion.
Lifetime Durability: Requires no maintenance, eliminating risks of loosening or pull-out.
Compliance with Standards: Meets IEEE 837 and IEC 62561-1 standards.

CAT’ADVANCED WELD Range Extension:

The new solution complements the existing range, covering all connection points in an industrial earthing network. Available in horizontal and vertical versions, it is suitable for various applications such as industrial buildings, data centers, substations, wind farms, and photovoltaic power plants.

Reference Selection and Compatibility:

Compatible with steel, galvanized steel, and stainless steel (coatings must be removed before welding). Connection types include horizontal (H) and vertical (V) configurations with specific codes and mold references for different conductor cross-sections.

Product Benefits:

Ensures optimal safety with remote ignition using an electronic igniter.
Reduces errors with minimal components.
Facilitates easy storage and transport with a powder-free system.
Allows simple and fast installation.

Required Components and Accessories:

Operators must use safety equipment such as face shields and protective gloves. Important accessories include protective gloves (CG-87/1), a cleaning set (CEW-CS), and a face shield (MO-188). The system includes encapsulated weld metal, a graphite mold, a handle clamp, and an electronic igniter.

Product Characteristics:

Electronic Igniter: Supports a minimum of 5000 welds, includes a 1.8 m lead and Type C charger.
Handle Clamp: Compatible with all CEW-HC molds.
Encapsulated Weld Metal: Contains copper oxide and aluminum, available in 45 or 65 g.
Graphite Mold: Delivered with a metal plate indicating the required powder quantity.
