Hi, I’m Ruth Smart from Copper Braid Products in Liverpool and I’d like to talk to you about our range of earth straps and how we can help you save time and money.
We make a really wide range of earth straps, everything from tiny little ones like this up to much bigger units.
I’d like to talk to you about some of the issues that we need to take into consideration when we are designing straps for your application.
First of all the copper braid itself normally flat, this particular one is plain copper but we can do tinned copper as well. The difference between them is that the tin copper is more resistant to oxidization, it won’t go green, so if you are using it in an outdoor application or somewhere it’s damp please tell us and we’ll use tinned
braid.
We also need to know the length, we normally work between the whole centers like that because that’s the effective working length of the earth strap.
We also need to know whether or not you want them insulated. We can do black Polyolefin insulation like this, which is rated to 660 volts or we can also do green and yellow insulation like this which would be typically used for an
earthing application.
So if you would like us to show you how we can save you time and money with your strap requirements please don’t hesitate to give me a call.
Thank you.
