Then clean the mold cavity with a stiff brush to remove any residue from previous welds. Make sure the mold halves close tightly. A gap of even 0.5 mm will cause molten copper to leak.
Igbesẹ 2: Select the Correct CCS Diameter and Copper Thickness
This is where many people go wrong. For a typical substation ground grid, IEEE 80 recommends a minimum conductor cross-section based on fault current and duration. A 12.5 mm diameter CCS rod with 0.5 mm copper thickness can handle about 10 kA for 1 second. For higher currents, step up to 16 mm tabi 20 mm opin. The copper thickness matters more for ipata resistance in aggressive soil. If your soil pH is below 5 or above 9, use a minimum of 0.5 mm Ejò. For normal loam, 0.25 mm ti to.
Igbesẹ 3: Place Conductors and Filler Material in the Mold
Insert the CCS rod and the copper conductor (or another CCS rod) into the mold. Ensure they contact each other firmly inside the cavity. Then pour the exothermic welding filler material (typically a pre-measured packet of 25 grams for a standard joint) into the crucible. Place the steel disk on top of the filler. Close the mold lid. Verify the mold is clamped securely.
Igbesẹ 4: Ignite the Reaction
Igbesẹ 5: Inspect the Joint
Visual inspection first. A good weld is smooth, didan, and free of porosity. The copper should flow evenly around both conductors. Use a pocket knife to scrape the surface—if it flakes, the weld is weak. For critical applications, perform a resistance test using a micro-ohmmeter. The joint resistance should be less than the resistance of an equal length of conductor. NDT (idanwo ultrasonic) is optional but recommended for high-reliability systems like power plants.
Here is a quick reference table summarizing the steps and key parameters:
| Igbesẹ | Iṣe | Critical Details |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Clean mold and conductors | Use wire brush; avoid sandpaper; cheque mold gap < 0.5 mm |
| 2 | Select CCS size | Diameter 12.5-25 mm; copper thickness 0.25-0.50 mm based on current and soil pH |
| 3 | Place conductors and filler | Ensure firm contact; use pre-measured 25 g packet (adjust for larger joints) |
| 4 | Ignite | Stand 1 m away; wait 30 s after flash; remove slag |
| 5 | Inspect and test | Visual: dan, didan; resistance test: < conductor resistance; optional NDT |
Safety Precautions: Do Not Skip These
Exothermic welding involves a chemical reaction that produces intense heat and molten metal. Wear safety glasses, leather gloves, and long sleeves. Perform the weld in a well-ventilated area—the reaction releases copper fumes and aluminum oxide dust. Never weld near flammable materials. Keep a fire extinguisher nearby. If you are using a flint igniter, keep it away from your face. I have seen a hot steel disk fly out of a mold that was not closed properly. Always double-check the clamp.
Compatibility with Other Grounding Materials
Copper clad steel welds beautifully to pure copper, galvanized, irin, and stainless steel—provided you use the correct filler material. For copper-to-steel joints, use a copper-based filler. Fun irin alagbara, irin, a nickel-based filler is required. Never mix fillers. The exothermic welding process creates a bond that is electrically continuous and free of galvanic cells. This is a huge advantage over clamps, which create a bimetallic corrosion site.
Standards You Must Follow
Your grounding system must comply with IEEE 80 (substation grounding), ASTM B227 (CCS rod specifications), and UL 467 (grounding and bonding equipment). These standards dictate minimum conductor sizes, joint resistance limits, and testing procedures. I recommend always specifying UL-listed exothermic weld kits and CCS rods that meet ASTM B227. It saves you from liability and ensures the system performs as designed.
Why You Should Act Now
Every day you delay upgrading your grounding connections is a day your equipment is vulnerable. A single lightning strike can cause millions in downtime. Copper clad steel for grounding with exothermic welding is not an expense; it is an investment in reliability. I have used this method on hundreds of projects, from small telecom towers to large substations, and every joint is still performing flawlessly decades later.
Do not settle for clamps that will fail. Do not rely on bolted connections that will corrode. Choose the permanent solution. Contact our team today to order your copper clad steel rods and exothermic welding kits. We will help you select the correct diameters, copper thicknesses, and filler materials for your specific soil conditions and current loads. Visit our website or call us at 1-800-555-0199 to get started. Your grounding system deserves the best.
