ERIFLEX FLEXIBAR INSULATED FLEXIBLE BUSBAR

FEATURES SPECIFICATIONS
• ERIFLEX FLEXIBAR is formed with multiple layers of thin • Copper laminates are free to slide within the insulation
electrolytic copper, available in plain or tin plated • High insulation quality
• ERIFLEX FLEXIBAR connections are made by punching directly • W ide variety of bending, twisting and folding possibilities
through the laminates. There are no lugs to purchase, helping • Usage -13 F up to 221 F (-25 C up to 105 C)
to eliminate faulty connection problems and making installation • Nominal voltage = 1000 VAC/1500 VDC
simpler and faster • S elf-extinguishable
• The insulation is a high-resistance, self-extinguishing PVC or • High mechanical resistance
silicone compound • High elongation value
• Traceability code and designation catalog number on product • High current withstanding
• Easily formed, ERIFLEX FLEXIBAR improves assembly flexibility • High copper quality (99.9% purity)
and aesthetics of panels • High conductivity
• Ideal alternative to large cable and rigid busbar
• Quality: 100% production dielectric tested
• Full range from .04 in. 2 (24 mm2) up to 1.86 in. 2 (1200 mm2)

All ERIFLEX FLEXIBAR cross sections can be bent, folded or


twisted with a very small bending radius for shorter and more
compact power connections.

Ex: For a current of 650 A, with: T1 = 45 C - T2 = 90 C
according to the internal
1) ∆T = 90-45=45 C temperature of the panel.
2) In the 45 C column, find the closest current value to 650 A.

When using 2 or 3 ERIFLEX FLEXIBAR on edge in parallel for the
same phase, use the coefficient:

Ex: 8 x 24 x 1 - ∆Tº = 45 C: 663 A

2 bars in parallel > 663 A x 1.72 = 1140 A


3 bars in parallel > 663 A x 2.25 = 1491 A

FEATURES %
• Thin layers of tinned electrolytic copper formed into a stack
• Insulated by high-resistance, self-extinguishing PVC with less
than 20% contact with conductor for high flexibility $
• Easily bent, folded and twisted, improving assembly flexibility,
shortening connections and decreasing footprint 1
• Dramatically smaller and more flexible than comparable cable
based on ampacity BULLETIN: ERI3
• Better power density than cable with lower skin effect ratio
• Connections made by punching and bolting directly through the
copper laminates, clamping onto the end of the ERIFLEX ERIFLEX
FLEXIBAR, or welding using CADWELD
• No lugs needed, reducing installation time and improving
resistance to vibration

Insulated Braided Conductor


Technical Characteristics

• Insulated Braided Conductors are specially


designed and developed to be suitable and
connectable for molded case circuit breaker
ranges, including most compact breakers on the
market
• Insulated Braided Conductors are formed with
high-quality electrolytic copper wire with a
diameter of .006 (.15 mm) for maximum flexibility
• Material savings - Integral palm without lugs or
terminals
• Quick and easy to install - Ready to use. No
cutting, stripping, crimping or punching. Less
labor time for installation.
• Weight savings - A flat braid weighs less than
a cable (with insulation) and lugs. Offers better
copper usage (Skin Effect).
• The insulation is a high-resistance, self-
extinguishing PVC. Maximum working
insulated braided conductors suitable for all the temperature, 221 F (105 C).
main molded case circuit breakers worldwide.
• Full application range: 80 A to 630 A (section 25,
50, 70, 100, 120, 185 and 240 mm2), with 9.05 (230
mm) up to 40.55 (1030 mm) length
• Reliability – No extra contact due to the lugs
being crimped at the extremities of the cables.

INSULATED BRAIDED CONDUCTORS (IBS, IBSB, IBSBR)


Temperature rise of conductor = T2 - T1 = ΔT (K)
e.g.: for a current of 630A, with:
T1 = 40 C (104 F) - T2 = 90 C (194 F)
1) ΔT = 90 - 40 = 50K
2) In the 50 K column, find the closest current value to 630A.
K = Kelvin degree (temperature calculated, but not measurable.)

Insulated braided conductor in parallel


When using 2 or 3 insulated braided conductors in parallel for the
same phase, use the current coefficient:
e.g.: IBSB 100 - ΔTº = 50K: 385 A
2 braids in parallel > 385 A x 1.6 = 616 A
3 braids in parallel > 385 A x 2 = 770 A

APPLICATION
IBSB/IBSBR is the ideal ready-to-install flexible wire replacement
solution that is specifically designed for connections to all molded
case circuit breakers, including the most compact breakers on the
market. It connects to the front access terminals of the breakers
without any additional accessories, such as angular connectors, / '
spreaders, ring terminal connectors or extenders. IBSB/IBSBR is
available in cross section of 25 to 240 mm² (49.34 to 273.65 kcmil),
lengths from 230 to 1,030 mm (9.06 to 40.55), and 80 to 350 A tinned &
and 400 to 630 A bare (red) copper.
Manufactured in an ISO 9001 certified proprietary automated
facility, IBSB/IBSBR is formed by weaving high-quality electrolytic +6 +6

copper wire to form a durable low voltage connector with maximum
flexibility that allows for more compact power connections to circuit
breakers. The IBSB/IBSBR allows users to reduce the total size BULLETIN: ERI3
and weight of the installation, improving both design flexibility and
assembly aesthetics.

APPLICATION
IBS Flat Insulated Braided Conductors are the ideal ready-to-install FINISH
flexible wire replacement solution. They connect directly to the Finish: Tinned
front access terminals of an electrical device without the need for
additional accessories, such as angular connectors, spreaders,
ring terminal connectors or extenders. IBS Flat Insulated Braided / '
Conductors are available in cross section of 25 and 50 mm2 (49.34
and 98.68 kcmil), lengths from 230 to 1,030 mm (9.06 in. to 40.55
in.), and amperages ranging from 177 to 274 A. &
Manufactured in an ISO 9001 certified proprietary automated
facility, IBS Flat Insulated Braided Conductors are formed by +6
+6
weaving high-quality electrolytic copper wire to form a durable $ %
low voltage connector with maximum flexibility that allows for
more compact power to electrical device. The IBS Flat Insulated
Braided Conductor allows users to reduce the total size and weight BULLETIN: ERI3
of the installation, improving both design flexibility and assembly
aesthetics.

Manufactured in an ISO 9001 certified proprietary automated


facility, IBSHY is formed by weaving high-quality electrolytic
copper wire to form a durable low voltage connector with maximum
flexibility that allows for more compact power connections to L HS2
circuit breakers. The IBSHY allows users to reduce the total size
and weight of the installation, improving both design flexibility and
assembly aesthetics.

The IBSHY features integral pre-punched palms at one end with a
pre-punched crimped tube at the other end both of which are ready HS1
to connect out of the box. There are no lugs to purchase or install,
making connections simpler and faster and eliminating faulty B
connections due to vibration or fatigue.

These specific shapes give users the advantage to have the BULLETIN: ERI3
possibility to link a compact circuit breaker, or other apparatus,
using connection by cage or bolt to a copper busbar with a larger
bolt.

The insulation is a high-resistance, self-extinguishing, and halogen


free glass fiber reinforced silicon providing possible high working
temperature. IBSHY is compatible with all major brand compact
molded case circuit breakers with 125/160 A nominal current.

APPLICATION
MBJ Grounding and Bonding Braids are a reliable and convenient
grounding solution for applications that require flexibility and
durability. The tinned copper ground braids with massivated palms
come ready to install without any additional cutting, stripping, mm
crimping or punching and do not require the addition of tinned or
crimped lugs. The proprietary manufacturing process optimizes the
electrical contact between each wire and helps eliminate moisture Displacement
issues in the palms, preventing corrosion and lengthening the
useful life of the braid.
BULLETIN: ERI3
FEATURES
• Complete range of earth ground, flexible connections from 6 -
100 mm² (11.84 - 197.35 kcmil) cross section and from 100 - 500
mm (3.94 - 19.69) length
• Integral palm without tinned or crimped lugs for superior
electrical contact and tensile strength resistance
• Resistant to vibration and fatigue, reducing maintenance
• Provides weight savings, material savings and lower impedance
when compared to similar lugged cables with insulation
• Ready to use out of the box, eliminates the need for cutting,
stripping, crimping and punching
• Quick and easy to install
• Recommended by the EMC/EMI directives and less impedance
than cables
• RoHS compliant
