Overview

The nVent AGS416 Insulated Grounding Strap Braided is a 4 AWG tinned copper braided strap measuring 16.19 inches in length, designed for reliable electrical continuity in industrial and commercial grounding systems. Constructed from high-conductivity tinned copper, this strap resists corrosion and maintains low contact resistance in harsh environments, including humid or chemically aggressive settings. Each end features a durable ring terminal for secure attachment to metal components, enclosures, or grounding systems using standard hardware. The strap is insulated with a distinctive green and yellow striped plastic coating, complying with IEC 60446 color-coding standards for clear visual identification as a grounding conductor. The braided design offers flexibility and vibration resistance, ideal for dynamic environments where rigid conductors may fail. Typical applications include industrial control panels, switchgear assemblies, telecommunications enclosures, and renewable energy systems. The AGS416 is UL Component Recognized (File No. E61997) and meets industry standards such as UL467 and CSA C22.2 No. 41, ensuring code compliance and safety. Installation is tool-free and straightforward, requiring only secure attachment of ring terminals to designated grounding points with appropriate bolts or screws.
