Flexible copper strips -flexicobre- formed by an assembly of strips (Cu-ETP) protected by a PVC extrusion. Available in a wide range of sizes: from 0,5x13x2 mm. to 1x100x12 mm.
At Bronmetal we supply high quality flexible flat bars (Cu-ETP) from the FLEXICOPPER range in line with the most relevant international standards.
Permissible current rating
The steady operating current shall be such that the temperature reached by the conductor shall not be greater than 90 °C or 105 °C (See values on table below).
Example : Flexible Element ES 24X1X8 CRN Room temperature Ta = 40°C Red copper conductor ΔT = 50°C Then Ta + ΔT = 90°C Select in the column 50°C rise the suitable current In this case the current is 700 A.
Note: According to L’UL recommendation, the current shall not be greater than 90°C for the red copper busbar and 105°C for tinned copper busbar
