nVent ERIFLEX FleXbus Conductor
nVent ERIFLEX FleXbus Conductor is ready-to-use from one side with direct connection to busbar or circuit-breaker palm. It is an innovative and patented connection solution between two pieces of electrical equipment (such as a transformer, switchboard or generator). FleXbus Advanced maintains a high level of reliability and creates an easy and customizable connection on-site without additional design study, specific specialized workforce or expensive tools. The FleXbus Conductor is insulated with a low-smoke, halogen-free, flame-retardant (LSHFFR), high-temperature and class II material. FleXbus Conductor is a flexible, copper-plated, aluminum flat braid with insulation available from 2 to 25 meters length and under different cross section for 500A to 6300A applications. It allows for connection from the power supply to switchgear with only one conductor per phase up to 1600kVA and with two conductors per phase up to 3150kVA.
