Further information on flexible earthing connectors / earthing straps

In this FAQ section you will find answers to the most frequently asked questions about our flexible earthing connectors and earthing straps. We would like to give you a clear overview of the functionality, possible applications and advantages of these important components in electrical engineering.

What are flexible earthing connectors / earthing straps and what are they used for?

Flexible earthing connectors and earthing straps are specialized connectors used in electrical engineering to connect devices and systems to earthing systems. They are made of highly flexible, flat copper material (tinned or bare copper wire), which enables reliable and durable earthing.

They are mainly used in areas where flexibility and durability are crucial - such as in machines, industrial plants and electrotechnical installations. Their main task is to prevent electrostatic charging and ensure the safety of electrical systems. The flexible design allows for easy installation in tight or hard-to-reach areas, making them particularly preferred in demanding electrotechnical environments.

How does a flexible earthing strap work in an electrical system?

A flexible earthing strap ensures a safe electrical connection between an appliance and the earthing system by conducting the current directly to earth. This prevents dangerous voltages from building up that could lead to damage or danger.

The earthing straps are made of flat copper wire, which is processed using a special braiding technique to provide maximum flexibility.

The ends of the strip are either rectangular with a crimped tube or rounded with a tin copper strip, which makes installation easier. In an electrical system, the earthing strap is attached directly to enclosures or equipment that need to be earthed, ensuring that excess current is safely discharged.

What certificates and safety standards do flexible earthing connectors / earthing straps meet?

Flexible grounding connectors and grounding straps that we offer are UL certified to UL 467, which means that they meet the highest safety standards for grounding and bonding applications. This certification guarantees that the product works reliably and meets the requirements in various electrical applications.

In addition, the copper materials used meet the NF EN 13602 (NFC 31 111) standard, which further underlines their quality and performance. UL certification is an important factor as it ensures that the earthing straps are suitable for use in critical areas such as industrial machinery, electrical installations and transformers.

What applications are there for flexible earthing connectors / earthing straps in industry?

Flexible earth connectors and earthing straps are used in a wide range of industrial applications, particularly where electrical equipment needs to be reliably earthed.

They are used in transformers, electrolysis tanks, medium-voltage systems and in machines and devices that require a flexible but secure earthing connection.

The flexibility of these tapes makes them particularly suitable for applications where conventional rigid earthing cables cannot be used. In industry, flexible earthing straps can also be installed in hard-to-reach or confined areas, which increases their versatility. They are the preferred choice in environments with high safety requirements for earthing.

What sizes and variants are available for flexible earthing connectors / earthing straps?

Flexible earthing connectors and earthing straps are available in different sizes and variants to meet the various requirements in electrical engineering. Standardized cross-sections range from 2 mm² to 250 mm², with wire diameters from 0.05 mm to 0.25 mm.

In addition, the lengths of the tapes can vary - from 100 mm to 600 mm, with customized lengths also available on request. The ends of the straps are available in two variants: rectangular with a crimped tube or rounded with a tin copper strip. These flexible earthing straps offer solutions for a wide range of earthing applications, both in industry and electronics.
