Overview

The ABB FBE12-1 Tinned Copper Flexible Braid is a high-conductivity grounding solution designed for industrial and electrical applications requiring reliable current transfer and corrosion resistance. This braid features 168,000 circular mils of tinned copper, ensuring robust electrical performance with a current-carrying capacity suitable for high-demand systems. The 9/16-inch bolt hole and single-hole ferrule design allow for secure mechanical attachment to grounding points, while the 12-inch length provides flexibility in installation without excessive slack. The 1.25-inch width and 2.5-inch ferrule length offer a balance between compactness and surface area for optimal conductivity. Tinned copper construction resists oxidation and corrosion, extending service life in harsh environments such as substations, switchgear, and industrial machinery. The ferrule is pre-crimped to the braid, reducing installation time and ensuring consistent electrical contact.
