Overview

ABB Installation Products FBC12-1 tinned copper flexible braid (SKU: FBC12-1) is a grounding conductor designed for high-current applications requiring reliable conductivity and flexibility. The braid consists of 48,000 circular mils of tinned copper, providing superior corrosion resistance and long-term performance in harsh environments. The 7/16-inch bolt hole allows for secure mechanical fastening to grounding systems, while the 1-inch-wide braid ensures optimal current-carrying capacity. The 12-inch length and 1.3-inch ferrule length provide sufficient slack for installation without excessive tension. The ferrule is pre-crimped to the braid, eliminating the need for on-site termination and reducing installation time. This product is ideal for grounding panels, enclosures, transformers, and other industrial electrical equipment where stable grounding is critical. Tinned copper construction resists oxidation and sulfidation, maintaining low contact resistance over time. The flexible braid accommodates vibration and thermal expansion, preventing mechanical stress on connections. Compliance with industrial grounding standards ensures reliable performance in power distribution, renewable energy systems, and manufacturing facilities.
