Copper Braided Flexible Connectors: The Reliable "Flexible Joint" for Generators
In the powerful electrical output system of a generator, copper braided flexible connectors play a crucial role as the "flexible joint." They are primarily used for electrical connections between the generator's output terminals and external busbars, circuit breakers, current transformers, and disconnect switches.
During operation, significant thermal expansion and contraction occur due to load variations, accompanied by continuous mechanical vibration. Rigid connections in this environment are prone to stress, leading to loose contact points, overheating, or even damage. Leveraging their excellent flexibility and conductivity, copper braided flexible connectors can bend and stretch freely, effectively absorbing displacement and vibration. This results in:
Eliminating mechanical stress, protecting valuable generator terminals and connected equipment.
Maintaining stable contact, ensuring reliable continuous transmission of high currents (high current-carrying capacity).
Accommodating installation tolerances, making engineering assembly more convenient.
Their multi-strand fine copper wire braided structure also offers advantages such as good heat dissipation and long fatigue life, making them a key component in ensuring the safe, stable, and long-term operation of the generator's main circuit.
