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.
