ERICO's ISO 9001 certified quality control procedures and proprietary automated manufacturing processes have made FLEXIBAR the preferred conductor for panelboard designers and assemblers throughout Europe and the Americas. FLEXIBAR has over 15 years of proven low voltage application success throughout the world.

Features

	FLEXIBAR® consists of a stack of tinned electrolytic copper laminates protected within a durable PVC insulation. • Internal copper laminates are free to slide within the insulation, offering unlimited twisting and bending possibilities for panelboard assembly.
	Terminals are created by punching FLEXIBAR laminates for optimum surface to surface connectivity.
	The cost of lugs and associated labor is eliminated when using FLEXIBAR. It is the first cost effective alternative to large diameter electrical cable with lugs or solid busbar for panelboard construction.

Applications

Any low voltage cable or busbar design is a candidate for FLEXIBAR, including:

	UPS Systems
	Industrial & Commercial Motor
	Controls
	Combination Motor Starters
	Busways or Busducts
	Panelboards
	Switchboards
	AC & DC Drive Units
	Transformers
	Anywhere cable or busbar limitations present a problem, FLEXIBAR offers connection versatility.

is available in a variety of sizes and configurations for a given ampacity requirement.
Selecting the correct FLEXIBAR part number is a function of the width of the connection
area and the electrical current required. The ampacity shown in the tables below are
based on a 50° Centigrade temperature rise.

FLEXIBAR® Characteristics

1. FLEXIBAR is UL recognized and CSA certified. The black insulation is moisture resistant, flame (VW-1) and UV retardant, and self-extinguishing (UL 94 V0).
2. FLEXIBAR connections are made by punching directly through the laminates. Since there are no lugs to purchase, fewer parts are required. Installation is simpler and faster – and faulty connection problems are eliminated.
3. FLEXIBAR is formed with multiple layers of thin, tin-plated, electrolytic copper.
4. Easily formed, FLEXIBAR holds its shape, increasing the efficiency of your designs.

When bending the conductor into place, its laminates slide freely within the insulation, conforming to your design configurations.
