EXOTHERMIC WELDING ROD
Yash Earthing Solutions Pvt Ltd. providing lightning protection, grounding and surge protection solutions. The company has introduced many innovations through the years.including the implementation of Stainless Steel (StSt) clampearthing and grounding products. These products meet or exceed the IEC62305 [1] and NFPA 780 [2] requirements for the bonding of lightning protection systems and electrical earthing electrodes.
The widely accepted exothermic welding of buried copper cable grounding systems is based upon joining copper materials through the application of the chemical process defined here
3 Cu O + 2 Al 6 Cu + Al O + Heat
That is to say, the combustion of copper thermite using copper oxide and aluminum powder creates a welded joint plus lots of heat and smoke.
The assembly process for a StSt clamping system consists of mechanical fitting. alignment and then bolting connections. If the work pieces are misaligned, the fittings can be loosened, adjusted and tightened to the final torque specifications. The entire process of making the joint takes about the same time as replacing a bicycle tire. The assembly process is intrinsically repairable.The site work preparation includes all of the layout, measuring and trenching to place the metal grounding ma-terials into the soil, but that's where the similarities between welding and clamping end
