Exothermic Weld SYSTEM Complying IEEE 837, IEEE 80, NBC 2016, IS/IEC 62305 Electrical jointing or connection reliability is critical to the long-term integrity of the electrical system. Over the period of TECHNICAL FEATURES: time, due to ageing, less maintenance and changing weather conditions, the joints are becoming low performing joints as it Exothermic Weld connections form a solid bond around gets corroded or loosen due to temporary jointing techniques. the conductors assuring continuity. Standard exothermic weld has a cross-section greater An Exothermic Welding System complying IEEE 837, has come than that of the conductor to be joined, the weld will up as a robust solution for these problems. Today, Exothermic always remain cooler than the conductor under fault Welding is a globally accepted method to make reliable and conditions. safe connections between two or more conductors. This Superior electrcal conductiviy of the conductors technology is highly portable and does not require any external themselves. source of heat to make a joint offering in permanent molecular bonding among metallic conductors. Does not corrode, oxidize or degrade with time and is resistant to galvanic coupling. As per NBC:2016, IEEE 80:2013, BS 7430:2011, Able to withstand repeated electrical discharges. “An exothermic welding system is used for making electrical No environmental impact. connections of copper to copper, copper to steel or copper to cast iron for grounding and cathodic applications.
