Alltec Corporation introduces the newly redesigned TerraWeld Exothermic Welding System. TerraWeld provides ultimate permanent molecular bonding and is the universally preferred method for making copper-to-copper and copper-to-steel electrical connections. It is a simple, cost-effective, everlasting connection using a high- temperature exothermic reaction that does not require an outside heat or power source. Its performance is superior to all existing surface-to-surface connectors. TerraWeld works when others won't!
Alltec's hermetically sealed metalized TerraWeld pouch is unique to the industry and provides the product with an extensive shelf life. Each mold is precision engineered for optimal results. TerraWeld is UL listed and exothermic welding is recommended by IEEE and IEC. Features include:
- Simple and cost effective
- Corrosion resistant
- Extended shelf life
- Highly conductive
- Portable and easy to use
- Requires no external heat source
Alltec Corporation's Protection Pyramid, a three-tiered complete facility protection approach for grounding solutions, surge suppression, and lightning protection, relies on TerraWeld to create electrical connections that will remain uniformly conductive. A code compliant, single-point, low resistance/impedance grounding system that forms the base for the Protection Pyramid could not be maintained without these dependable corrosion resistant connections. TerraWeld helps create circuits that carry the full amplitude of a short circuit safely to the ground. This solid grounding system forms the foundation on which surge protection devices are staged to dramatically filter the voltage, current, and frequency surges. Finally, a well designed lightning protection system is created to protect against direct lightning strikes.
