Dynamic Electronics applies FLEXIBAR to a Large Engineered System

Challenge

Dynamic Electronics’ expertise with large engineered systems benefited a large surface mining equipment manufacturer. Their flexible wires were difficult to install and were causing field failures because of a lack of rigidity.

Solution

Dynamic Electronics sales engineers recognized that ERICO FLEXIBAR was the perfect product to solve both issues and introduced the product to the customer providing engineered CAD drawings and parts for a sample installation. The customer recognized the benefits immediately and moved quickly to replace their old flexible connectors (approximately 60-pieces-per-cabinet) with pre-formed, made-to-order pieces from ERICO. FLEXIBAR’s superior current-carry-capacity allows a smaller cross section of conductor to be used in a given application and since connecting holes are punched directly into the end of the FLEXIBAR, it eliminated the need for lugs. ERICO FLEXIBAR ® is an excellent choice for customers who want to simplify their wiring and improve the quality of their electrical cabinets. For systems more than 200 amps, FLEXIBAR ® reduces the number of conductors and electrical connections eliminating the need for multiple conductors and lugs at each end of the connector.
