Overview

ABB FBE24 Tinned Copper Flexible Braid is a high-conductivity grounding and bonding solution designed for industrial applications requiring reliable current transfer. This braid features 168,000 circular mils of tinned copper, ensuring low electrical resistance and efficient heat dissipation. The 24-inch length provides flexibility for installation in tight spaces, while the 1.25-inch width and 0.25-inch thickness deliver mechanical strength without excessive bulk. The braid includes two tinned copper pads with 0.563-inch diameter holes, spaced 1.75 inches center-to-center, allowing for secure bolted connections. The tinned copper construction resists corrosion and oxidation, maintaining performance in harsh environments. This single-braid assembly is ideal for grounding systems, electrical enclosures, and equipment bonding where vibration resistance and durability are critical. Compatible with standard bolt sizes, the FBE24 simplifies installation in switchgear, motor control centers, and renewable energy systems. Its flexible design accommodates thermal expansion and contraction, reducing stress on connection points. For applications requiring high current capacity and long-term reliability, the ABB FBE24 is a proven choice.
