Masa zemsavilkums 20 mm², 20×2 mm, 119 A

The TZ020 ground braid is an essential component designed to ensure reliable and secure grounding of electrical and electronic equipment on board. It establishes a robust equipotential bond and a low-impedance ground connection, helping to reduce risks of electromagnetic interference and galvanic corrosion in a marine environment.

Its main technical specifications are:

Cross-section: 20mm²Dimensions: 20x2mm (flat braid)Maximum supported current: 119AApplication: Specifically designed for marine installations.Its flat design provides excellent flexibility and facilitates integration in confined spaces.

For optimal and secure installation of the TZ020 grounding braid, it is crucial to follow these recommendations:

Suitable terminals: Use terminals of the correct size and material (ideally tinned copper for marine environments) and crimp them properly to ensure a solid and durable connection.Clean connection points: Ensure contact surfaces are perfectly clean, free of paint, grease, oxidation, or corrosion to guarantee maximum electrical conductivity.Secure fastening: Secure the braid to avoid excessive mechanical tension, friction, or movement that could damage it over time.Protection: In humid or corrosive environments, applying dielectric grease or a contact protector to connection points can significantly extend the lifespan of the installation.Routing: Take advantage of the flat braid’s flexibility for optimal routing, avoiding sharp bends that could stress the material.

The TZ020 tinned copper grounding braid is compatible with a wide range of electrical and electronic equipment aboard requiring reliable grounding and low-impedance connections. It is commonly used for grounding connections in:

Service and starter batteriesEngines (thermal and electric)Battery chargers and voltage convertersInverters and transformersNavigation and communication equipment (GPS, VHF, radars, etc.)Electrical panels and dashboardsMetal frames of devices and metal hulls (for equipotential bonding)It can serve as the main grounding backbone or as a connection for individual devices, complementing smaller braids.

The TZ020 grounding braid is designed to safely handle a maximum current of 119 amperes (119A). It is imperative not to exceed this rated value to ensure the safety of your electrical installation and the longevity of the product. Exceeding this current could lead to overheating of the braid, significant energy losses, and in extreme cases, risks of fire or damage to connected equipment. If your application requires a higher current capacity, it is recommended to use a grounding braid with a larger cross-section and a higher ampacity rating.

The flat design of the TZ020 grounding braid offers several significant advantages, particularly in marine environments where space and flexibility are critical:

Increased flexibility: Its flat shape makes it generally more supple than a round cable of equivalent cross-section, making installation and routing easier in confined or complex spaces.Space optimization: It can be more easily concealed or routed along flat structures, occupying less volume than round cables, which is a major asset on board.Thermal dissipation: A larger surface area can potentially improve heat dissipation, though this depends on specific installation and ventilation conditions.Resistance to vibrations: Its flexibility can also contribute to better resistance to mechanical stress and vibrations, common in nautical environments, thereby reducing the risk of material fatigue.
