In most applications, where making large or small numbers of high quality, electrical connections are required. FurseWELD comes handy.
They typically find applications in;
- Earthing for power plants and substations
- Telecommunications
- Transmission and power distribution lines
- Cathodic protection
- Rail connections
FurseWELD is cost effective, simple, self-contained system that uses high temperature reaction of powdered copper oxide and Aluminium within a mould, to form electrical connections.
Benefits of FurseWELD are
- Requires no external power or heat source
- Creates high quality electrical connections
- Is completely portable
- Can be used safely with minimum training
- Is cost effective
- Can be used for over 45 standard connection configurations.
Advantages
The FurseWELD joints or connections come with the following advantages.
- Tolerant to repeated fault currents
- Highly conductive
- Do not loosen
- Excellent corrosion resistance
The FurseWELD Equipment
They comprise of
- Mould
- Handle
- Powder
- Retaining disc
- Flirt gum
The FurseWELD Process
The procedure of making joints is simple and illustrated below
Moulds
The moulds create safe and robust connections and of different types whose use are dependent on the requirements of the project. They are of three types, namely;
Graphite Moulds
The graphite moulds are extremely robust and capable of producing over 75 connections each.
Mini-Moulds
Mini-moulds are a cost effective alternative to full-sized moulds, especially where lower numbers of connections are required. They are smaller overall, less robust and therefore lower priced.
SureSHOT
The SureSHOT system is a single-use ceramic mould supplied complete with retaining disc and powders. It has been designed for use in applications where only a few connections are required.
