nVent ERIFLEX Advanced Technology
Advanced Technology from nVent ERIFLEX offers the most unique, safe and flexible solution for electrical conductors, setting a new gold standard in the electrical market by providing this unique high-strength insulation: low-smoke, halogen-free and flame-retardant.
This makes nVent ERIFLEX Flexibar Advanced as well as nVent ERIFLEX IBS/IBSB Advanced conductors highly ingenious alternative to cable. Improved reliability results from direct connection without a cable lug and thus excellent vibration resistance.
The copper current conductors are tinned, making them suitable for high-temperature conditions, resulting in a higher level of safety for the electrical equipment as well as for people during installation as well as during operation.
Compared to cable, weight and space are saved as the conductors can be bent, folded or twisted with a very small bending radius for shorter and more compact power connections compared to traditional rails. Cams are unnecessary, reducing installation time and improving resistance to vibration.
In this way, the nVent ERIFLEX Advanced conductor significantly improves design and installation flexibility, as well as the aesthetics of finished panels. Logically, the reduced installation time results in lower installation costs.
Advantages of nVent ERIFLEX Advanced Technology:
- Direct connection without terminal lug: improved reliability and excellent vibration resistance.
- Tinned Copper: suitable for high temperatures, increases the safety of electrical equipment and users.
- Space and weight saving: flexible conductors can be bent, folded or twisted, resulting in more compact and shorter power connections.
- Faster installation: redundant lugs and improved vibration resistance shorten installation time and reduce installation costs.
- Improved design and assembly flexibility: Improves the aesthetics of finished panels and offers significant design freedom.
Product characteristics of nVent ERIFLEX Advanced Current Conductors:
- Material: thin layers of tinned electrolytic copper
- Range: from 19.5 mm² to 1200 mm² and 125 A to 2800 A
- Insulation: high Ohmic, halogen-free, flame-retardant and low-smoke material with less than 20% conductor contact for high flexibility

Rittal - HUMMEL Cable glandsRead moreIf you want to protect your components properly against external influences, a strong enclosure alone is not enough. There are always cables running to and from your equipment, which is why you need a cable gland in addition to the enclosure for a complete solution for protecting your equipment. This ensures that the end of the cable running to your enclosure is securely attached. After all, your installation is only as good as its weakest link.
