CHARACHTERISTICS OF BRAIDS

STRAND/ROPE (CF range)

PROS:

  • Flexible in every aspect
  • Perfect cylinder shape
  • Long length can be obtained

CONS:

  • Does not accept torsion however as if torsion is in the opposite direction, this would risk the strand/rope being splayed out (widened and separated)
  • When braid is cut, strands may separate

 

CIRCULAR BRAID (CB range)

PROS:

  • Very flexible
  • Strands do not separate when cut
  • Resists torsion

CONS:

  • No a perfect cylinder
  • Great lengths cannot be obtained

 

FLAT BRAID (FLB range)

PROS:

  • Thickness is in limits with respect to its width
  • Larger amp rating/busbars can be achieved with using multi-layers/stacking

CONS:

  • Low lateral flexibility
  • Limited sections
  • Limited connection tightness due to overlapping of strips which oppose each other when flexing occurs

 

Choice of Materials:

  • Electro tin-plated copper
  • Plain copper
  • Nickel-plated copper
  • Stainless steel
  • Alternative non-ferrous & ferrous materials on request.
