CADWELD - The Molecular Bond


The MOLECULAR BOND that eliminates connections by forming an electrically perfect bond unaffected by corrosion.
Connections are the weak point of all electrical circuits and especially earthing circuits subjected to ageing and corrosion. The capacity of an earthing circuit to protect the safety of personnel depends on the quality of the connections made.

BS 6651 (1992) STATES


Any joint other than welded represents a discontinuity in the current conducting system and is susceptible to variation and failure.

THE CADWELD PROCESS


makes it possible to produce copper/copper, copper/aluminium, copper/steel and aluminium/aluminium electrical molecular bonds with no external energy or heat source. The principle consists of bringing together a welding filler material and ignition agent in a suitable graphite mould. The weld metal composition depends upon the metals to be welded (copper oxide and aluminium for a copper/copper weld). The reduction of copper oxide by aluminium produces molten copper and aluminium oxide slag at extremely high temperatures. The shape of the mould, its dimensions, and the size of the weldmetal, are all dependent on the items to be welded and their size.

THE BASIC PRINCIPLE


The welding material and starting powder are poured into the mould crucible. They are contained during the reaction, by means of a metal disc seat. When the reaction is complete, the molten metal is released and flows down the tap hole onto the items to be welded in the weld cavity.

FOUR SIMPLE STEPS


STEP 1. Prepare conductor ends with a wire brush for welding. Place cable ends into open mould. STEP 2. Close handles to lock mould halves together. Drop metal disk into crucible ensuring it is correctly seated, covering tap hole. STEP 3. Deposit weld metal into crucible. Tap bottom of container to release starting material.

Spread a little starting material on top of mould. STEP 4. Close the cover and ignite with flint gun. Open the mould after 10 seconds, when metal has solidified.

CADWELD - Technical Advantages


THE CADWELD WELD Will carry more current than the
conductor.

Will not deteriorate with age. Is a molecular bond without any risk
of loosening or corrosion.

Will resist repeated fault currents Can be quality controlled simply by


visual inspection.

RELIABILITY
As the molecular bond eliminates the concept of surface contact, an electrolyte cannot penetrate between the conductors and cause oxidation and deterioration in the course of time. Corrosive environments This reliability is of particular interest for humid or chemical environments or for bonds directly buried in the ground.

ABILITY TO WITHSTAND HIGH CURRENT


The melting temperature of CADWELD filler material is higher than the melting temperature of copper (1082C). For this reason, in the event of abnormal heating due to a high fault current, the conductor is destroyed before the connection.

CALCULATED/MEASURED
Standard CADWELD welds have a cross section greater than that of the conductors to be joined, which compensates for the difference in resistivity between the conductor and the weld material. Consequently, under fault conditions the weld will always remain cooler than the conductor. If special applications do not allow for the required increase in cross section to be employed, the use of the formulae:

CORROSION TEST

CONDUCTIVITY
As a CADWELD weld is a perfect molecular bond, the conductor is not broken and there are no contact surfaces. The integrity of the effective cross section of the conductor is unaltered.

RELATIVE RESISTANCE

will make it possible to define precisely the resistance of the CADWELD weld.

Actual Contact Surface

This accelerated ageing test, carried out in a saline atmosphere at a controlled temperature, demonstrates that CADWELD welds retain all their electrical properties during the period of the test whereas the resistance of mechanical connections increase with time and this alters their conductive properties. CADWELDS fine performance is due to its reliability resulting from the molecular bond.

The CADWELD bonded connection provides permanent conductivity over the whole of the section due to molecular bonding between the metal surfaces.

The mechanical connection presents a significant difference between the apparent contact surface and the actual surface.

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. IEEE Std. 80-1986, 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 = Conductor size in mm2 K = Constant from the following table I = RMS fault current in amperes S = Fault time in seconds Based on the standard ambient temperature of 40C.

P RO D CLEV UC TS, I NC ELAN D (So . lon), Ohio

CADWELD Weld Metal is a mixture of copper oxide and aluminium, packaged by size in individual plastic tubes. Each tube contains the starting material at the bottom of the tube, with the Weld Metal on the top. These containers are packaged in plastic boxes with the corresponding metal disks. Each weld uses one disk. These materials are not explosive and not subject to spontaneous ignition. There are three Weld Metal mixtures used for grounding connections.

CADWELD Cathodic Protection Connection Kits


(See Catalogue CA-1A)
CADWELD connections are the accepted method of attaching cathodic protection leads to pipes (steel and cast iron) tanks and structures. CADWELD connections weld conductors to the object to be protected thus preventing galvanic corrosion occurring at the interface. (With mechanical connections, surface contacts are present, and can corrode, resulting in an ineffective current path.) CADWELD connections for cathodic protection use a special alloy to provide minimum heat effect on the steel, especially important on thin wall, high stress pipes.
F-33 alloy (Green Caps) is used for connections of cable to cable and cable to steel or stainless steel pipe. XF-19 (Orange Caps) is used for all connections to cast iron. Weld metal packs are available as consumables.

CADWELD CAST GROUND PLATES


CADWELD CAST GROUND PLATES
CADWELD ground plates used in concrete structures offer convenient ground system connection points. These ground points are used for equipment, machinery and structure grounding after completion of the concrete work. The castings are made from a copper alloy ... CADWELD ground plate connections result in current carrying capacity equal to that of the conductor or stud and cannot loosen or corrode.

CAUTION:

Use only CADWELD cast ground plates. Other similar plates may be available that do not meet the strength requirements necessary. They may crack or break during installation.
Use a CADWELD Type TA or Type SS mould when connecting the CADWELD cast ground plate to the ground conductor. The cast ground plate stud size noted above fits the mould opening for a cable of the same size. Example: Tee connection of 120mm2 cable to B164-2Q (4/0 AWG stud size), use mould TACY62Q. Splice connection of 120mm2 cable to B164-2Q, use mould SSC-2QY6.

AIRCRAFT GROUNDING RECEPTACLES


B-165 and B-165R
The B-165 and B-165R Grounding Receptacles are copper alloy castings intended for use in static grounding systems of aircraft refueling areas. They are easily connected to the grounding system conductor and/or ground rods with CADWELD connections. Designed for simple installation flush with the paved surface. The attachment point (19.05mm ball) is an integral part of the casting on the B-165 and is removable on the B-165R.
