FDBS The FDBS is a combination of a well-known CADWELD welded connection and the crimped
cable connection technique. The solid deep-drawn copper earthing point is welded to the cop-
per cable in the factory by means of a CADWELD welded electrical connection. The copper plat-
ed steel welding plate is a crimped connection to the copper cable.

This connection applies to reinforcement bars with a minimum diameter of 16 mm. For smaller bar diameters a longer steel welding plate has to be selected
which has then to be welded to the smaller reinforcement bars more often, as it is appropriate.
By the use of a formwork panel the seating of the earthing plates are to be determined accurately through control holes. This seating may not be obstructed by
reinforcement bars. When pressing on the reinforcement, sufficient space must remain for the earthing bonds.
