––Advanced layers of thin electrolytic copper, available in plain
––Standard (Standard and Summum) or tin plated
(Advanced & Standard)
––Summum
• F
 lexibar connections are made by punching directly
through the laminates. There are no lugs to purchase,
which eliminates faulty connection problems and makes
installation easier and faster
• T

• E
 asily formed, Flexibar improves assembly flexibility and
aesthetics of panels
• Optimal alternative to large cable & rigid busbar
• Quality: 100% production dielectric tested
• Full range from 24 mm2 up to 1200 mm2

ENHANCED FLEXIBILITY
nVent’s exclusive manufacturing process offers
superior flexibility:
FEATURES
• Copper laminates are free to slide within the insulation
• Self-extinguishable/flame retardant
• High insulation quality
• High mechanical resistance
• Wide variety of bending, twisting & folding possibilities
• High elongation value
• High current withstanding
INNOVATIVE PATENT INSULATION • High copper quality (99.9% purity)
Flexibar has added grooves on the inner surface of the • High conductivity
insulation sleeve to improve sliding between the central
conductor and the insulation material. The grooves help to
reduce the contact surface between the central conductor and
the insulation material. This results enhances the flexibility of
the flexible busbar.
Result: <20% of the inner surface is in contact with the
central conductor.
This nVent ERIFLEX patent idea makes Flexibar more flexible
than ever and allows users to optimize the design of their
electrical power connection.

Flexibar Standard

FLEXIBAR STANDARD
• Conductor is electrolytic copper (Cu-ETP)
• Insulation is a high-resistance vinyl compound:
–– Elongation: 370%
–– Operating temperature: -50°C -105ºC
–– Thickness: 2 mm ± 0,2
–– Self-extinguishing: UL 94 VO
–– Dielectric strength: 20kV/mm
–– Nominal voltage = 1000 V AC/1500 V DC (UL & IEC)

Selection of Flexibar according to the

internal temperature of the panel
temperature
Ambient

Internal Temperature of
temperature of conductors ( T2)
panel ( T1)

TEMPERATURE RISE OF CONDUCTOR = T2 - T1 = ∆T ( K ) FLEXIBAR IN PARALLEL

Ex: For a current of 630A, with: T1 = 40ºC - T2 = 90ºC When using 2 or 3 Flexibar on edge in parallel for the same
phase, use the coefficient:
1) ∆T = 90 - 40 = 50K
Ex: 5 x 32 x 1 - ∆Tº = 50 K: 640 A
2) In the 50ºK column, find the closest current value to 630A.
Flexibar 5x32x1 - 552650 - 2 bars in parallel > 640 A x 1,72 = 1100 A
160 mm2 - 640A. 3 bars in parallel > 640 A x 2,25 = 1440 A
3) Select Flexibar according to the terminal width of the
equipment being connected.
K = Kelvin degree (temperature calculated, but not measurable)

Earth/Ground Copper Braids (MBJ & BJ)

TINNED COPPER EARTH/GROUND BRAIDS

TECHNICAL FEATURES
With integral palm
• A complete range of earth/ground flexible
connections from 6 to 100 mm2 section and from
100 to 500 mm length
• Strong resistance to vibration and fatigue
• Reliable: No extra contact due to the lugs crimped at the
ends of the cable
• Weight savings: A flat braid weighs less than a cable
(with insulation) and lugs and offers better copper
usage (skin effect)
• Integral palm, without tin or crimped lugs for superior
electrical contact and tensile strength resistance

INNOVATIVE, STATE-OF-THE-ART • Quick and easy to install: Ready to use. No cutting,

MANUFACTURING PROCESS. stripping, crimping or punching. Less labor time
for installation
• Material savings: no lugs or terminals
nVent ERIFLEX manufacturing directly massivates the palms
of the MBJ tinned-plated braids. This manufacturing process • Recommended by the EMC/EMI directives and less
provides an effective electrical contact, due to the integral impedance than cables
palms, without the addition of tin or crimped lugs.
This process welds the flexible braid and brings back a solid
tinned or red copper block as a palm. Unlike the traditional
press-welded palms process, nVent ERIFLEX’s process is
suitable for red copper, but also for tin plated copper. The
electrical contact between each wire is optimized.
This nVent ERIFLEX process also helps eliminate moisture
issues in the palms. By using crimped lugs in a severe
environment, moisture can enter in the lug (often by capillarity)
and create corrosion between each wire. After several years, the
electrical contact between each wire can deteriorate and alter
the electrical conductivity of the equipment. The corrosion in
the palm is impossible to remove without changing the element.
This process produces RoHS products; no additional
substances are added to the tinned-plated wires during the
manufacturing process.

Presswelded Power Shunts
FEATURES
Press welding is welding of laminations to each other through
direct current applied to pieces under pressure.
This technique results in:
• The formation of a solid palm with properties of plain bar
• Smaller cross section for same capacity
• Runs cooler than equal section
• Plain copper, thickness of laminations 0,2 mm
• When used in parallel, the 2 shunts must be spaced with a
minimum distance equal to the thickness of the shunt
