Overview

The ABB FBD24-1 Tinned Copper Flexible Braid is a high-conductivity grounding solution designed for industrial and electrical applications requiring reliable fault current dissipation. Constructed from 76800 circular mil tinned copper braid, this flexible grounding strap delivers a current-carrying capacity suitable for medium-duty grounding systems. The 24-inch length provides flexibility in installation while maintaining low impedance paths for fault currents. Key specifications include a 7/16-inch bolt hole for secure mounting, ensuring mechanical stability in vibration-prone environments. The single braid design with one bolt hole per ferrule simplifies installation in constrained spaces where multiple connections are impractical. Tinned copper construction resists corrosion and oxidation, maintaining conductivity over extended service life in harsh industrial conditions. Typical applications include grounding of electrical panels, switchgear, transformers, and other metallic enclosures where flexible connections are required to accommodate movement or thermal expansion. The braided design allows for vibration absorption and thermal cycling without compromising electrical continuity. Compliance with grounding standards ensures compatibility with NEC and OSHA requirements for safety-critical installations. This product is part of ABB's Installation Products line, known for durable electrical components. The FBD24-1 is a direct replacement for applications requiring a 76800 CM flexible braid with 7/16-inch bolt hole spacing. For higher current ratings, consider ABB's multi-braid grounding straps or solid copper straps with equivalent cross-sectional area.
