FURSEWELD® EXOTHERMIC WELDING SYSTEM
ABB's FurseWELD exothermic welding system forms permanent, low-resistance electrical connections for earthing and bonding applications.
Portable and completely self-contained, FurseWELD is built to perform reliably in the most demanding installation environments.
PERMANENT CONNECTIONS, BUILT TO LAST
ABB's FurseWELD is a proven exothermic welding system used to form permanent, low-resistance electrical connections for earthing and bonding installations. Using the high-temperature reaction of powdered copper oxide and aluminium within a graphite mould, FurseWELD produces fusion welds of great mechanical and electrical integrity that will not loosen over time. With more than 45 standard connection configurations and compatibility with flat tape, stranded and solid circular conductors, FurseWELD is a trusted choice for installations where connection reliability and long-term performance are essential.
KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS
<p>ABB's FurseWELD exothermic welding systems are designed and manufactured at the Furse facility in Nottingham, United Kingdom, drawing on more than 130 years of earthing and lightning protection expertise. FurseWELD provides a simple, reliable and cost-effective method for making permanent electrical connections for earthing applications across a wide range of industries and environments.</p>
Durable
<p>Permanent fusion welds tolerate repeated fault currents and will not loosen over time, ensuring long-term connection integrity in buried and exposed installations.</p>Versatile
<p>More than 45 standard connection configurations accommodate flat tape, stranded and solid circular conductors to meet a wide range of project requirements.</p>Chemical and corrosion resistance
<p>Very high copper content of greater than 90% in the alloy delivers exceptional corrosion resistance for connections buried underground or exposed to harsh conditions.</p>Flexible
<p>Self-contained and completely portable, the system requires no external power or heat source, enabling installation in remote, confined or difficult-to-access locations.</p>Protective
<p>Connections deliver at least twice the cross-sectional area of the conductors being joined, with equivalent or greater current carrying capacity for dependable electrical performance.</p>Compliant
<p>Certifications include ISO 9001, BS EN 60228 and IEC/BS EN 62305.</p>INDUSTRIES WE SUPPORT
