Ergom PU1017/6 Copper Grounding Braid 170mm2 200mm

The Ergom PU1017/6 copper grounding braid is a professional-grade flexible conductor engineered for demanding electrical grounding and bonding tasks. Featuring a substantial cross-section of 170mm2 and a length of 200mm, this braided strap is constructed from high-purity copper to ensure optimal electrical conductivity and long-term durability in industrial environments. Its braided design provides superior mechanical flexibility compared to solid conductors, allowing it to withstand vibrations and thermal expansion without compromising the integrity of the connection.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this grounding braid is its exceptional flexibility, which makes it an ideal choice for applications where components are subject to movement or vibration. By utilizing high-quality copper, the braid offers low electrical resistance, ensuring efficient current flow and reliable equipotential bonding. The robust construction is designed to resist mechanical stress, providing a stable and safe grounding path that meets the rigorous requirements of modern electrical installations.

Suitable for

• Industrial electrical grounding systems
• Equipotential bonding in switchgear and control cabinets
• Connecting moving parts in machinery to ground
• Applications requiring vibration resistance

When it may not be suitable

This product is not intended for high-voltage power transmission lines or applications where the current exceeds the rated capacity of a 170mm2 conductor. It is also not suitable for environments with highly corrosive chemicals that could degrade copper over time without proper protective measures.

Key specifications

• Material: High-purity copper
• Cross-section: 170mm2
• Length: 200mm
• Design: Flexible braided strap

How to use

To install the Ergom grounding braid, ensure that the contact surfaces on both the equipment and the grounding point are clean and free of oxidation or paint. Secure the ends of the braid using appropriate lugs or terminals compatible with the mounting hardware. Tighten the connections to the specified torque to ensure a low-resistance contact. Regularly inspect the connection points to ensure they remain tight and free from corrosion.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required cross-section for your specific electrical load
• Ensure the 200mm length is sufficient for the distance between connection points
• Check compatibility with existing mounting hardware and terminal lugs

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, always use appropriate cable lugs and ensure that all contact surfaces are properly prepared to minimize contact resistance. Avoid sharp bends that could stress the braid strands.
