At KLK Electro Materials, we proudly highlight our contribution to a photovoltaic substation in Toledo, where we completed more than 100 Bimetallic Grounding Connections Photovoltaics  between aluminum and copper cables. This project demonstrates how our exothermic welding solutions with inDuo Al and various KLKweld LSvip Kits provide safe, durable, and efficient connections in electrical installations.

Project Context and Challenges

In the photovoltaic substation, the challenge arose of combining bimetallic materials to maximize safety and functionality. While copper is ideal for buried sections due to its corrosion resistance, aluminum is used in exposed areas for its lower economic value, thereby reducing the risk of theft.

However, the differences in the properties of these materials present technical challenges, such as galvanic corrosion. Thanks to the advanced technologies of KLK Electro Materials, these issues were effectively resolved.

Our KLK Solution: inDuo Al and KLKweld

To ensure reliable and durable connections, we implemented two complementary technologies: inDuo Al, ideal for aluminum welding, and KLK exothermic welding kits, designed for copper connections. Both solutions were combined to overcome technical challenges and ensure optimal performance.

How inDuo Al Works

The inDuo Al procedure uses an exothermic mixture that creates perfect molecular bonds. Its advantages include:

• High mechanical strength and electrical conductivity.
• Protection against corrosion, thanks to the uniform nature of the weld.
• A fast, clean, and efficient process, ideal for field applications.

How Exothermic Connections Works

The KLKweld LsVIP technology ensures secure connections with low electrical resistivity. This method preserves the integrity of materials by minimizing thermal impact during the process, ensuring the durability and reliability of the connections. It is also the safest method on the market, eliminating particle expulsion during the reaction thanks to the LsVIP closure.
