Overview

The ABB FBD36-1 is a tinned copper flexible braid designed for high-current grounding applications where vibration resistance and flexibility are critical. This braid features a 76,800 circular mil (CM) cross-sectional area, providing a robust current-carrying capacity for industrial and electrical systems. The 36-inch length ensures ample reach between connection points, while the 1-inch width optimizes surface contact area for low-resistance grounding. The 7/16-inch bolt hole allows for secure mechanical fastening using standard hardware, ensuring reliable electrical continuity even under dynamic loads. Constructed from tinned copper, this braid resists corrosion and oxidation, maintaining conductivity over extended service life in harsh environments. The FBD series is engineered for grounding applications where rigid conductors cannot accommodate movement or misalignment. Typical uses include electrical panels, switchgear, transformers, and machinery grounding, where flexible conductors are required to absorb vibration, thermal expansion, or mechanical stress without compromising electrical integrity. The ferrule, measuring 1.3 inches in length, is pre-crimped to the braid, eliminating the need for on-site termination and reducing installation time. This pre-terminated design ensures consistent performance and reduces the risk of loose connections. The braid’s flexibility allows for easy routing in tight spaces, while its tinned copper construction provides superior conductivity compared to uncoated copper in corrosive atmospheres. For applications requiring UL-listed or NEC-compliant grounding solutions, the ABB FBD36-1 meets industry standards for safety and performance. The product is part of ABB’s Installation Products line, a trusted brand in electrical infrastructure solutions. Order by SKU FBD36-1 for immediate availability.
