Grounding grid connector


 

A new paradigm in connecting grounding grids!

 

Implosive energy is used to produce a high quality metallurgical bond between the copper wires of a grounding grid. Unlike the conventional process, our process uses no heat. It relies purely upon implosive pressure to connect the joints. The weld provides a high strength joint, with better conductivity. The process is not affected by handling or by weather conditions, and is perfectly reproducible every time. The principal behind the new joining technology is based on the well known XECONEXTM implosive splice that has been in use for several decades for connecting high voltage conductors. The process is easy to use and perfectly reproducible every time.

 

The grounding grid connector consists of a simple pre-formed sleeve, wrapped with a small, engineered, explosive charge. On installation, the charge compresses the sleeve around the copper wires of the grounding grid. This connector needs no mechanical equipment for installation, and installs quickly and easily. The connection is a uniform high strength bond at all points of contact.

 

This connector can be installed in every possible configuration that may be required in any grounding application, including cross, t-connection and elbow. This makes connecting wires to grounding rods a simple and reliable operation. Only a single component is needed in inventory as only the one component is used for all connections.
