Braids and Earth leads

 

Round Braid

The strands are wound in opposite directions and the winding pitch determines the flexibility of the braid. Round braids are much more flexible that stranded cables of equal cross-sectional area. Unlike single wound braids, the strands of round braid to not separate when cut; the braid is flexible in all directions and resists torsion to the point that the strands will not separate and widen when twisted.

Round Twisted Braid

The strands are wound in one direction  only; the flexibility of the braid is determined by the winding pitch. Production costs are lower and the product is equally flexible in every direction. Does not accept excessive torsion in the direction of the strand windings. Torsion in the opposite direction will cause a widening of the braid as the strands begin to separate. Strands may separate when bent or cut.

Flat ‘Tubular’ Baid

Can be made very thick with respect to its length, string sections can be made by using only one braid. Cross sectional area can be increased by  inserting one tubular braid inside another. Like the flat woven variety, tubular braid has poor lateral flexibility.
