ABB Exothermic Welding System

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. The system offers a simple, reliable and cost-effective method for making permanent electrical connections for earthing applications across a wide range of industries and environments.

Durable
Permanent fusion welds tolerate repeated fault currents and will not loosen over time, ensuring long-term connection integrity in both buried and exposed installations.

Versatile
More than 45 standard connection configurations accommodate flat tape, stranded and solid circular conductors, meeting a wide range of project requirements.

Chemical and corrosion resistance
A very high copper content of greater than 90% in the alloy delivers exceptional corrosion resistance for connections buried underground or exposed to harsh conditions.

Flexible
Self-contained and completely portable, the system requires no external power or heat source, allowing installation in remote, confined or difficult-to-access locations.

Protective
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.

Compliant
Certifications include ISO 9001, BS EN 60228 and IEC/BS EN 62305.

Industries supported
From residential construction to commercial and industrial projects, FurseWELD supports professionals across a range of industries, including power generation, oil and gas, data centers, railways, solar power, wind power and water.

Challenges addressed
The system is designed to help professionals meet installation, safety and performance challenges in demanding applications, including cost reduction, continuous operation, hazardous locations and sustainability.
