EARTH BRAIDS

Earth braids made with either red copper, copper tinned or stainless steel wires :

  • Red copper braids are generally used for lightning applications.
  • Tinned copper braids offer a better resistance against oxidation.
  • Stainless steel braids are resistant to seawater and marine environments.
  • Aluminium braids on request

Earth braids are used to :
– Ground or earth some apparatus
– Evacuate electrostatic electricity
– Make equipotential connections
