Alternative to Multiple Power Cables & Solid Copper Bus-bar Systems

The flexible braided copper busbar is in demand in the electrical industry because it is tough and can be handled easily. It is used for a wide variety of applications such as bonding straps, grounding, protective coverings, and cable shielding. Copper wire braid is often made from tinned copper.

Power shunts are large cross-sectional area copper braided connectors, used as an alternative to the power cable and solid busbar, designed to meet the current carrying capacity of power distribution applications – designed with multi-layers of flat or round copper earth braids to achieve sizes up to 500sqmm and carry currents in excess of 1100 amps.

Multiple layers of flat copper braid are used and assembled in a parallel or stacked format to achieve the required cross-sectional area or agreed on current density. In certain circumstances flexible strand is a practical alternative.
