1 22/03/05 17:15 Page 1 FLEXIBLE ELEMENTS CONCEPT and DESIGN: THE RANGE: The FORISSIER flexible elements are manufactured with an assembly of copper strips (Cu ETP), protected by a PVC extrusion wich offers an electrical insulation as well the flexible element is twisted or used in different environments (humidity, high temperature or agressive ambience). Standard Length: Strip thickness: Number of strips: 2000 mm and 3000 mm (other dimensions upon request). 0.5 mm up to 1 mm. 2 up to 12. Options: Tinned copper or aluminium. Flexible connections. Halogen free. High température insulation 125 C. TRUDED 100 % EX ROVED P P A L U NEW PVC SHAPING: SCOPE OF APPLICATION: - All application linked to power transportation, to replace: Cables, Rigid bars - Electrical appliances (Switchboard, Circuit breaker and converter). - Transformer (connections between the transformer and the bars). 1. Cut the total length of the flexible element + 50 mm for the shaping. 2. Shaped the element: That operation must be done before the final cutting, the stripping and the punching. ADVANTAGES: 3. Stripping: The stripping must be done with a knife or a stripper. The sole electrical connection system wich compiles all duties: shaping connectors conductor insulation and insulated support. The manufacturing cost of the connection is reduced by using a sole component compared to the price of cables + supports + connectors. 4. Punching or drilling Punching or drilling used to create a bump. To guarantee a correct contact between the clamp and the flexible element, please make sure that you punch or drill from the surface on contact with the clamp. With reference to cables: Time saving by the simplicity of connection manufacturing using no added connectors. Suppression of the contact resistance between the cable and the connector. Gain of volume with the folding in comparison with the compulsory curvature of a cable. Suppression of the supports or glands. With reference to rigid bars: Increasing of electrical performance with improvement of safety (higher current density with insulation for a same section of copper). Gain of volume by closeness implantation of insulated flexible elements. Easy shaping thanks to the flexibility of the strips in comparison with rigid bars. 5. Assembling: Use a washer under the head of bolt to apply a pressure on the width of the flexible element. For flexible elements made with more than 4 strips, use «BELLEVILLE» washer plus iron bolt. Otherwise, use a bolt coated with zinc.
