Overview

The ABB FBB12-1 is a tinned copper flexible braid designed for reliable grounding applications. This specific unit, SKU FBB12-1, features a 24000 circular mil conductor size, ensuring substantial current carrying capacity for grounding circuits. Its construction utilizes tinned copper, which offers enhanced corrosion resistance and solderability compared to bare copper, making it suitable for various industrial environments. The braid measures 0.625 inches in width, providing a good surface area for electrical contact. This grounding strap is equipped with a 1/4 inch bolt hole for secure mechanical connection to grounding points or busbars. The ferrule, which encapsulates one end of the braid, has a length of 0.75 inches, ensuring a robust termination. The overall length of the FBB12-1 braid is 12 inches, offering flexibility in installation and placement within electrical systems. This product is part of the ABB FBB series, known for its dependable electrical connection solutions. Its primary function is to provide a low-impedance path for fault currents to safely dissipate to ground, protecting equipment and personnel. Applications include grounding of electrical enclosures, machinery, and busbars in industrial facilities, power generation, and substations where effective grounding is paramount. The tinned copper material contributes to long-term performance by mitigating oxidation and maintaining electrical integrity over time. The flexible nature of the braid allows for movement and vibration without compromising the grounding connection. Each unit contains one braid terminated within a ferrule for a complete grounding solution. The UNSPSC code for this product is 39121465, categorizing it under electrical grounding and bonding equipment.
