This is a braided flexible connector (also called a copper braid or grounding strap)—often used in electrical and solar installations.
Use in Solar Installation
In solar systems, this component is mainly used for:
- Grounding / Earthing connections
- It connects metal parts like:
- Solar panel frames
- Mounting structures
- Inverter enclosures
- To the grounding system
- Bonding between structures
- Ensures all metallic parts are electrically connected so they share the same potential
- Flexible connections
- Used where movement or vibration may occur (e.g., between panel frames or metal racks)
Importance
- Safety:
– Provides a low-resistance path for fault current.
– Protects people from electric shock. - Lightning Protection
– Helps safely divert lightning or surge currents to ground.
– Reduces risk of equipment damage. - Equipment Protection
– Prevents voltage buildup that could damage.
– Inverters
– Panels
– Batteries - Flexibility & Durability
– Unlike rigid wires, the braided design.
– Handles vibration, expansion, and contraction.
– Reduces risk of breakage over time - Compliance
– Required in most solar installation standards and electrical codes for proper earthing and bonding.
