CADWELD EXOLON
Developed in 1988, CADWELD EXOLON is a significant advance in welded electrical connections. The metallurgy is the same as the standard CADWELD connection approved by over 70% of electric utilities in the USA but the virtual elimination of visible smoke plus a unique electric starting system makes this improved process easier and more convenient than ever before.
Most connections listed in this catalog can be ordered in the CADWELD EXOLON configuration. Ordering information is shown below.
HOW TO ORDER CADWELD EXOLON

1. To order CADWELD EXOLON products, just specify molds and weld metal from the catalog and add an XL prefix. Example: TAC2Q2Q becomes XLTAC2Q2Q, and 150 becomes XL150. 2. If the weld metal shown in the catalog shows more than one tube required such as 2-#200, you must specify #XL400 to get the correct size filters. Example: XLTAD-4L3Q: XL400 3. The following molds require a price key . change: "C" price key molds using 2-#150 weld metals change to XLD price key. "E" price key molds using 2-#150 weld metals change to XLJ price key. "H" price key molds using 2-#150 weld metals, contact ERICO. "M" price key molds using 2-#150 weld metals change to XLV price key. "R" price key molds using 2-#150 weld metals change to XLF price key. "T" price key molds, ALL change to XLP price key. 4. Filters and ignitors are included with the weld metal. XL filters and ignitors are not sold separately. 5. The ignitor can be used only once and then must be discarded. Filters will last as specified in the instructions supplied with each mold. 6. A Relia-Start electric starter, part number XLB971A1 (battery, charger, carrying case and connecting cable), is required for XL weld metal. There is no starting material in the XL weld metal tube. Batteries operate about 200 starts before recharging from 120 VAC is required. The charger, all electrical connections and instructions are included in the battery case. 7. Baffle with cover is required for larger molds. Estimated life of the baffle is 500 welds. XLB972A1 Baffle is required for molds using XL200 and XL250 weld metals. XLB973A1 Baffle is required for molds using XL300 to XL750 weld metals. 8. For EZ Change Handles, add XL prefix. (Flint ignitor not included.) 9. Welding Tray, part number XLB974B2, is used under the mold to protect cables and equipment from hot materials.
Example: TAC3Q3Q using 2-#150 weld metals change to XLTAD3Q3Q using #XL300 weld metal

The CADWELD XB molds are the quickest, most efficient way to make lapped, horizontal x-style connections on solid or concentric stranded cable for a variety of installations. For cable-to-cable X-style connections at power substations and other commercial and industrial sites, theres never been a faster or easier way to make a reliable CADWELD connection. This two-piece mold lets you make connections in a trench in about half the time it would take with compression connectors or other exothermic products and at a fraction of the cost. Ergonomic two-piece molds use standard L160 and L159 handle clamps...the same clamps you use with other CADWELD molds. Saves labor costs. X-style connection can be made by one person in about 1 minute. Thats 40 to 70% faster than other methods. Costs less. Saves you 1/3 over other models, thanks to innovative design techniques and advanced manufacturing technology. Simple to use. Operates just like an XA-style mold, but theres no need to cut the cable! Easy cable alignment. Also available in smokeless EXOLON.

Note: DUCTILE IRON

Tests by ERICO indicate that connections to most ductile iron pipe can be made using the CADWELD molds and weld metal designated to be used on steel pipe. However, some reports from the field suggest that all ductile iron is not the same. In such cases, the molds and weld material for cast iron do work.

We therefore suggest: 1. Whenever possible, make tests on the ductile iron pipe being used to determine if the material for steel can be used. OR 2. Use the molds and weld metal designed for cast iron. It will make satisfactory connections on all ductile iron.

CADWELD CONNECTIONS
CADWELD Connections Used for Grounding Reinforcing Bars

CADWELD provides efficient and permanent connections for both grounding and attaching lightning protection conductors to rebar. When making CADWELD connections to rebar, the normal materials required are: mold, handle and weld metal. In addition, packing material is also required. These materials act as a seal between the mold and rebar to prevent leaks. One unit of packing material must be ordered for each weld.
CADWELD Connections to Structural Reinforcing Bar and Anchor Bolts

Welding of ground conductors to reinforcing bars (rebar) by the CADWELD process should not be harmful if stresses in the rebar are below yield. As design stresses are normally only about 50% to 60% of the nominal yield strength of the rebar, welding by the CADWELD process should not be detrimental under design stresses. As the ACI Building Code (ACI318-89 commentary, 12.15) advises, splices should, if possible, be located away from points of maximum tensile stress. The same advice should apply to locations of CADWELD connections of a ground conductor to rebar. Where possible, locate the weld area away from areas of maximum tensile stress, e.g., near the free end of the bar in a lap splice, on the hook extension for a hooked bar, etc. The same considerations apply to CADWELD connections to anchor bolts.
NOTE:
For lightning protection applications where the main lightning protection conductor is connected to the rebar, ERICO recommends a 2/0 AWG copper conductor for structures over 75 feet in height and a #2 AWG copper conductor for structures under 75 feet. For a bonding conductor, a #6 AWG copper may be used. These sizes meet NFPA78 Code requirement. Anchor bolts are connected in the same way.
All welds to rebar requiring larger than a #150 weld metal will be sold only after review by ERICO.

HEAVY DUTY ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
ABOUT HEAVY DUTY ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

for stranded concentric copper conductors.
Heavy Duty connections were developed to be used on reclaimed cable. Heavy Duty connections use a larger size connection cavity in the mold and a larger size weld metal than the equivalent standard connections. The larger size weld metal supplies extra BTU's (but not a higher temperature) to melt the heavy oxide coating on the conductor and to overcome severe field conditions. Heavy Duty connections offer the following advantages: Eliminates cutting the run conductor on certain types of connections. Reduces cable cleaning requirements for old or reclaimed cable. Increases reliability under adverse field conditions.
NOTE: The increased size of weld metal raises costs compared to connections shown in sections 1 through 10.

CADWELD WELD METAL

CADWELD Weld Metal is a mixture of copper oxide and aluminum, packaged by size in plastic tubes. Each tube contains the starting material at the bottom of the plastic tube, with the Weld Metal on top. These materials are not explosive and not subject to spontaneous ignition. These containers are packaged in boxes along with metal disks. Each weld uses one disk. Five types of CADWELD Weld Metal are used for grounding connections: 1. F20 or standard Weld Metal is used for all grounding connections with the exception of those to cast iron or to load bearing rail. The Standard Weld Metal containers have clear (or natural) caps. Standard Weld Metal is also used with most FX molds. 2. XL Weld Metal is used with EXOLON molds. EXOLON Weld Metal containers have white caps. 3. XF-19 Alloy Weld Metal is used for all connections to cast iron such as Type HB and others. XF-19 Weld Metal containers have orange caps. For DUCTILE IRON, see Section 3, Cast Iron Connections 4. CADWELD F80 Alloy Weld Metal is used for all connections to load bearing rail such as Type W Bonds. F80 Weld Metal containers have yellow caps. 5. Cathodic connections require different weld metal and molds. Contact ERICO for cathodic connection applications.
CADWELD MOLDS
A semi-permanent graphite mold is used for making most CADWELD Connections. The mold controls the direction and speed of the molten CADWELD weld metal flow and its final shape. The graphite used in a CADWELD mold is a high temperature type that lasts for an average of 50 or more CADWELD connections under normal usage.

Disks Each time a weld is made, a new disk is required. The disk sits on the bottom of the crucible. Its purpose is to hold the powdered weld metal until the reaction takes place. The slag produced by the reaction rises to the surface and the molten copper settles to the bottom of the crucible where it melts the disk and flows over the conductors to produce a permanent molecular bond.
Disks are available in three sizes: B117A used in molds using #15 thru #32 weld metal (3/4" diameter). B117B used in molds using #45 thru #115 weld metal (1" diameter). B117C used in molds using #150 thru #500 weld metal (1-1/2" diameter). Disks are included with the Weld Metal.

IEEE Std. 80-2000, 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 K A=KI = Conductor size in circular mils = Constant from the following table = RMS fault current in amperes = Fault time in seconds
I S
Based on the standard ambient temperature of 40C.
