Many applications need an excellent electrical contact to carry large voltage. Press welded flexible copper shunts are built with pure copper and finished with a layer of insulation that enables very high conductivity and erosion resistance. Copper shunts have a wide temperature range for use and can be applied for different kinds of voltages in various industries. Press welded flexible copper shunts are made for very high current applications and used in welding machines. They are often preferred over other flexible connectors as these can be easily welded without compromising their electrical properties. Flexible copper shunts are used to connect the Y and delta winding of the transformer to its terminals. They provide flexibility and can be easily molded or bent into various shapes. They should be used to connect the Y and delta wingdings of the transformer to its terminals. They provide flexibility and can be easily molded or bent into desired shapes. Press welded flexible copper shunts are thus ideal to connect transformers with cables using minimal losses in power consumption.
Press Welded Flexible Copper Shunts Advantages:
- Press welded flexible copper shunt tubes can be cut, drilled, or milled to length, reducing in this way the waste. The characteristics of these tubes are very good low resistivity, corrosion resistance to local or general corrosion, and high mechanical properties.
- Press-welded flexible copper shunts are the right material for the flexible connections of many sensors, actuators, or other devices that have to be mounted on machines.
- In addition to carrying both the high resistivity and low resistivity current in a single line these copper shunts are also very flexible. The press-welding of copper sheets makes them immune to corrosion, vibrations, and mechanical stresses. The copper shunts can be bent around corners without affecting their functionality.
The application areas of press-welded flexible copper shunts are growing. Their advantages in cost, weight, and space-saving as well as their superior performance compared to general applications force them further into the market. Today they can be found in applications such as electrical press-welding machines, machinery, windmills, etc.
