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
- Mounting: easy to bend, fold and twist, improving mounting flexibility and reducing footprint
- Power density: better than cable
- Connections: punch directly through the copper laminates and clamp with bolts or clamp to the end of the Flexibar
- Traceability: traceability codes and part numbers printed on the insulation
- Certification: meets NF EN 45545 with HL3 rating for R22 and R23 chapters, 100% production dielectric tested, RoHS compliant
- Compatibility: tinned copper allows connections to copper or aluminium
- Colour options: can be manufactured in other colours on request (usually orange for battery connections)
- Vibration resistance: Complies with ISO 6469-1 Section 6.2.2 for electrically driven road vehicles

Phoenix Contact - Increase cybersecurity of machines and installationsRead moreThe benefits of network connectivity, such as increased productivity and flexibility, are obvious. But unfortunately, this also creates more and more potential attack targets for all kinds of cyber attacks. Cybercriminals repeatedly manage to exploit new vulnerabilities to gain unauthorised access to machines and facilities, for example. That is why governments are introducing new (additional) cyber security legislation. In doing so, they set ambitious goals.

Bright Renewables - From Webinar to an Actual Predictive Maintenance ProjectRead moreUnder the header “FastForward”, itsme supports product improvement and process acceleration, including by informing customers about time-saving solutions and smart technologies. For example, in spring 2023, a webinar on predictive maintenance was organised in collaboration with KIM Plus Delta, consultants for asset and maintenance management. Bright Renewables’ participation resulted in an actual predictive maintenance project for Bright's green gas plants.

Signaal 64 - Boon Edam - Toegang tot VMI en een groot assortimentRead moreBoon Edam, known for its revolving doors and turnstiles, picked itsme as their main electrical components supplier last year. The large product range and the vendor managed inventory (VMI) solution for the grab stock of electrical assembly materials were the deciding factors. “When you install VMI, you actually do it forever.”

Sissing Noord - Commissioning FrequencyRead moreSissing Noord in Leek (Groningen) is an expert in the maintenance, renovation and construction of “wet” infrastructure, like movable bridges, pumping stations and locks. For the drives of these structures, itsme supplies the speed drives and, where necessary, also the technical know-how. For projects where Sissing Noord needs this knowledge, specialist itsme offers “some relief”.

Connected Business - Vendor Managed InventoryRead moreThe Lean improvement method distinguishes eight waste categories. One of these is 'inventory'. Too much stock is not good, but neither is too little. After all, having stock also provides the safe feeling of availability in times of uncertain internal planning and external factors that cannot be directly influenced. Because optimising availability both in one's own company and in the supply chain is often not the core competence of our customers, itsme can take over the care of such optimisation, for example through the import and management of so-called Vendor Managed Inventory systems. But, how do you know whether VMI is indeed the right solution? Ralph van Aartsen can answer that crucial question - using five questions. Here, in advance, are his answers to our questions on VMI.
