Erico 556660 Grounding Braid 300 x 15 mm with Bolted Terminals

The Erico 556660 grounding braid is a high-performance electrical component engineered for reliable bonding and earthing in demanding industrial environments. Measuring 300 mm in length and 15 mm in width, this flexible copper braid is designed to provide a stable, low-resistance path for electrical currents. It comes equipped with factory-pressed bolted terminals on both ends, which facilitate a secure and permanent connection to equipment, panels, or structural components.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this grounding braid is its exceptional flexibility, which allows it to withstand mechanical stress and vibrations that would otherwise damage rigid conductors. By utilizing high-quality copper, the braid ensures superior electrical conductivity and long-term corrosion resistance. The pre-installed bolted terminals eliminate the need for additional crimping or specialized tools during installation, significantly reducing assembly time and ensuring a consistent, high-quality connection every time.

Suitable for

• Electrical distribution panels and switchgear
• Industrial machinery and equipment grounding
• Vibration-prone environments where rigid busbars are unsuitable
• Equipotential bonding in electrical installations

When it may not be suitable

This product is not intended for high-voltage power transmission lines or applications requiring extreme current carrying capacities beyond its rated specifications. It is also not suitable for outdoor environments exposed to highly corrosive chemicals without additional protective measures.

Key specifications

• Length: 300 mm
• Width: 15 mm
• Material: Flexible copper
• Connection type: Factory-pressed bolted terminals
• Application: Electrical bonding and earthing

How to use

To install the grounding braid, identify the designated grounding points on your equipment or enclosure. Align the bolted terminals with the mounting holes and secure them using appropriate hardware, such as bolts and washers, ensuring a tight metal-to-metal contact. It is recommended to clean the contact surfaces before installation to remove any oxidation or debris, which helps maintain low electrical resistance.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required length for your specific application
• Check the diameter of the mounting holes to ensure compatibility with existing bolts
• Assess the environmental conditions to ensure copper is suitable for the installation site

Usage recommendations

Ensure that all connections are tightened to the manufacturer's specified torque to prevent loosening due to vibration and to maintain optimal electrical conductivity over the lifespan of the installation.
