ERICO: Signal and Power Bonds

ERICO


The ERICO CADWELD process affords a simple, portable means for making welded electrical connections to rail and electrical conductors of many types. The integrity of the ERICO CADWELD process provides a molecular bond that cannot loosen or corrode, thus providing a maintenance-free electrical connection. ERICO CADWELD power bonds are available in kits (including bonds, replacement molds and weld material) or as bonds only for applications including: power feeders to contact rail, negative return leads and impedance bond leads. Power bond conductors are typically larger than 2/0 AWG (70 mm²) up to and including 500kcmil (240mm²). Also included in the ERICO CADWELD power bond offering are contact rail joints, contact rail feed cable attachments, welded cable lugs, welded cable joints, shunts and impedance bond center leads.
