The advantages of welding has been proven to be the most efficient, reliable and cost effective method for over 70 years. 

 

IEEE - Most Reliable Electric Connector:

Welded connectors are considered to be the most reliable type of electrical connections in power substations. 
 

Advantages to welding over other methods:

• Fully bonded homogeneous connection

• Stronger seismic structural connection

• No sharp edges

• No expansion or contraction due to heat or cold

• No maintenance

• Cost-effective parts and labor

• Custom field and shop design and fabrication 

• Ability to weld in all-weather conditions

• Adaptability provides the ability to re-use fittings and perform modifications on site as needed
