ERIFLEX

FLEXIBAR connections are made by

punching directly through the laminates. No lugs

to purchase, installation is simpler and faster

and faulty connection problems are eliminated.

ERIFLEX FLEXIBAR is formed

with multiple layers of thin

electrolytic copper, available in

plain or tinplated

ERIFLEX

FLEXIBAR

Applications

All types of connections on low voltage

industrial power distribution and control.

• alternative to large and

multiple cables

• alternative to rigid busbar

• connections between main power and

distribution equipment (contactors,

circuit-breakers, switches…)

• connections between a transformer

and a bus-duct

• connections between a bus-duct and

an electrical cabinet

• expansion joints

The Highest Flexibility

ERICO’s exclusive manufacturing

process offers the best flexibility:

• copper laminates are free to

slide within the insulation

• high insulation quality

Virtually unlimited bending and

twisting possibilities.

Consistent insulation thickness over

the whole surface.

The Widest Versatile Application

• can be used under EXTREME conditions

• self extinguishable

• high mechanical resistance

• high elongation value

• halogen free insulation - with

ERIFLEX FLEXIBAR SUMMUM

• low smoke

• high current withstanding

• high copper quality 99.9% purity

• high conductivity

Easily formed, ERIFLEX FLEXIBAR

improves assembly flexibility

and aesthetics of panels.

How to Achieve a Good Electrical Connection THE QUALITY OF AN ELECTRICAL CONTACT IS DETERMINED BY: 1. CONTACT SURFACE CONDITIONS The surface has to be flat but not polished. Another important point: cleaning the surfaces before connection. They must be oxide and grease free. 2. CONTACT SURFACE(S) - OVERLAP The overlap (H) should be not less than 5 times the thickness (e) of the thinnest of the conductors. TWO WAYS TO CONNECT IN PARALLEL: Grade 5 Bolt Contactor / Circuit Breaker 3.
