Optimizing Flexbraid Busbars – What, Why, Where and How

Flexbraid Busbar technologies provide important design options for a widening range of applications across multiple industry segments. This new Storm Power Applications Note provides an overview of flexbraid technology, along with an exploration of the key benefits, use cases, and key factors for success.

In busbar applications, flexbraids are often used to connect rigid busbar sections together, to connect rigid busbars to electrical equipment, or to establish grounding connections. They are particularly valuable in situations where there challenges with vibration or assembly tolerances dictate the need for some flexibility.

The Applications Note provides information on flexbraid customization with sections on:

• Choosing the best approach - such as flat vs round rope-style braids
• Understanding AWG wire size and current ratings
• Plating options - such as tin or silver
• Custom termination and connector options
