The copper braid is used a a super flexible conductor for all electric connection requirements, includingpower, earthing and equipotential connections.It results from the use of a number of standard wireswith diameter between 0,10 and 0,30 mm, twined together to form a cord.
More cords twined together can produce a small cross-sectioned braid or further secondary cordswhich, twined again, make it possible to get the desired cross-section.
Three typologies of copper braid:
ROUND, made from tightly interwoven cords until they become a full round section.It is used for power and mass connections, and, when suitably insulated, as an alternative to thecables. In that case, compared to insulated cables, with the same cross-section in sq.mm, it allowsmore current density and, most of all, extraordinary flexibility.
TUBULAR, made from small interwoven cords until they form a tubular structure, hollow inside.It is used as a protection sleeve for electric cables inserted inside of the braid, thus producing screensand protections against interferences and/or disturbances.
FLAT, made using the same process as in tubular braids, but flattening it between rollers to the desireddimensions.It is used for power, earthing and equipotential connections. In power applications, it makes flexibleconnections which easily compensate offsets between elements to be interconnected, and alsoprovides excellent buffering of vibrations induced by, i.e., connection to a transformer.With the same cross-section in sq.mm, it can take a higher current density than cables or copper bars.
