Copper braided grounding wire is a flat wire woven with copper wire, with single wire diameters of 0.1mm, 0.12mm, and 0.15mm. The finer the copper wire diameter of copper braided grounding wire, the better its flexibility. So, what is the appropriate cross-sectional area for selecting copper braided grounding wire commonly used for grounding?
Copper braided grounding wires, like wires, are also classified in size, such as 4, 10, 16, 25mm2, etc., and there is also a distinction between tinned and non tinned.
Generally, 16mm2 copper braided grounding wire is used for grounding doors, windows or equipment. Its function is to guide unconventional current into the ground in abnormal situations (or accidents), and there is no current passing through the grounding wire in normal conditions. Therefore, ensuring good grounding of the grounding wire is an effective means to prevent electric shock accidents and overload accidents.
Unified use of bare wires for grounding wires, including lightning protection grounding, anti-static grounding, protective grounding, etc. Because if insulated wires are used for copper braided grounding wires, it is difficult to detect if the insulated wires break or have poor contact in normal times. If the grounding wire needs to function, grounding failure can lead to major accidents. On the other hand, bare grounding wires can be directly identified to prevent potential hazards such as disconnection or poor contact, thus avoiding the existence of dangerous hazards.
