CADWELD EXOLON
Developed in 1988, CADWELD EXOLON is a significant advance in welded electrical connections. The metallurgy is the same as the standard CADWELD connection approved by over 70% of electric utilities in the USA but the virtual elimination of visible smoke plus a unique electric starting system makes this improved process easier and more convenient than ever before.
Most connections listed in this catalog can be ordered in the CADWELD EXOLON configuration. Ordering information is shown below.
Example: TAC3Q3Q using 2-#150 weld metals change to XLTAD3Q3Q using #XL300 weld metal

XBQ/XBZ MOLDS
XBQ/XBZ
The CADWELD XB molds are the quickest, most efficient way to make lapped, horizontal x-style connections on solid or concentric stranded cable for a variety of installations. For cable-to-cable X-style connections at power substations and other commercial and industrial sites, theres never been a faster or easier way to make a reliable CADWELD connection. This two-piece mold lets you make connections in a trench in about half the time it would take with compression connectors or other exothermic products and at a fraction of the cost. Ergonomic two-piece molds use standard L160 and L159 handle clamps...the same clamps you use with other CADWELD molds. Saves labor costs. X-style connection can be made by one person in about 1 minute. Thats 40 to 70% faster than other methods. Costs less. Saves you 1/3 over other models, thanks to innovative design techniques and advanced manufacturing technology. Simple to use. Operates just like an XA-style mold, but theres no need to cut the cable! Easy cable alignment. Also available in smokeless EXOLON.

CADWELD CONNECTIONS
NOTE:
For lightning protection applications where the main lightning protection conductor is connected to the rebar, ERICO recommends a 2/0 AWG copper conductor for structures over 75 feet in height and a #2 AWG copper conductor for structures under 75 feet. For a bonding conductor, a #6 AWG copper may be used. These sizes meet NFPA78 Code requirement. Anchor bolts are connected in the same way.
All welds to rebar requiring larger than a #150 weld metal will be sold only after review by ERICO.

CADWELD MOLDS
A semi-permanent graphite mold is used for making most CADWELD Connections. The mold controls the direction and speed of the molten CADWELD weld metal flow and its final shape. The graphite used in a CADWELD mold is a high temperature type that lasts for an average of 50 or more CADWELD connections under normal usage.

Disks Each time a weld is made, a new disk is required. The disk sits on the bottom of the crucible. Its purpose is to hold the powdered weld metal until the reaction takes place. The slag produced by the reaction rises to the surface and the molten copper settles to the bottom of the crucible where it melts the disk and flows over the conductors to produce a permanent molecular bond.
Disks are available in three sizes: B117A used in molds using #15 thru #32 weld metal (3/4" diameter). B117B used in molds using #45 thru #115 weld metal (1" diameter). B117C used in molds using #150 thru #500 weld metal (1-1/2" diameter). Disks are included with the Weld Metal.
Disk Kit
A disk container (T328) which includes 20 of each of the three sizes of steel disks is available for your convenience. Kit P/N T328D. T328D

TECHNICAL INFORMATION
GROUNDING SYSTEM CONDUCTORS AND CONNECTORS
The grounding conductor size is based on the maximum magnitude and duration of available fault current, and on the type of connections being used in the grounding system.
SECTION B
IEEE Std. 80-2000, Guide for Safety in Substation Grounding, the accepted industry standard, uses a fusing formula as the basis for selecting minimum conductor size to avoid fusing (melting) under fault conditions.
This formula can be simplified to the following: Where: A K A=KI = Conductor size in circular mils = Constant from the following table = RMS fault current in amperes = Fault time in seconds
