Description

FEATURES of Flexible Busbar

• Thin layers of bare electrolytic copper formed into a stack
• Full range from 19.5 mm² up to 1200 mm² and 125 A to 2800 A
• 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
• Dramatically smaller and more flexible than comparable cable based on ampacity
• 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 nVent ERIFLEX Flexibar, or welding using nVent ERICO Cadweld
• No lugs needed, reducing installation time and improving resistance to vibration
• Weight savings and material savings compared to wire alternatives
• Reduces total installation cost
• Traceability codes and designation part numbers printed on insulation
• 100% production dielectric tested
• UL 758 Appliance Wiring Material requirements for Cold Bend testing at -40°C and -50°C (-40°F and -58°F)
• EAC compliant
• RoHS compliant

ERIFLEX Flexibar is a flexible busbar wire replacement solution for low voltage applications available from 27 mm² up to 1200 mm² and 125 A to 2800 A. Manufactured in an ISO 9001 certified proprietary automated facility, nVent ERIFLEX Flexibar is formed from multiple layers of thin electrolytic copper insulated with a high-resistance, self-extinguishing PVC or silicone compound. The insulating sleeve is grooved on the inner surface, reducing the contact surface with the laminates to less than 20%, increasing flexibility and making installation easier. Easily formed even in its largest size, nVent ERIFLEX Flexibar vastly improves design and assembly flexibility and the aesthetic of finished panels. All nVent ERIFLEX Flexibar cross sections can be bent, folded, or twisted with a very small bending radius for shorter and more compact power connections between main power and distribution equipment, between transformers and busduct, between busduct and electrical cabinets, and many other types of connections. nVent ERIFLEX Flexibar connections are made by punching and bolting directly through the copper laminates, clamping onto the end of the nVent ERIFLEX Flexibar, or welding using nVent ERICO Cadweld. There are no lugs to purchase or install, making connections simpler and faster and eliminating faulty connections due to vibration or fatigue. An ideal alternative to large cable and rigid busbar, nVent ERIFLEX Flexibar requires less installation space and reduced the overall weight of panel systems.
