Switchgear Insulation Products
Heat Shrink Tape - BUSTAPE
Bus Tape is heat shrinkable tape specifically designed for insulating and protecting
medium voltage Bus Bar Connections. It is very conformable, tough, waterproof tape with
special adhesive coating which bonds well to most surfaces over a wide range of
temperature.
The shrinking action achieves exceptional conformation to contours, squeezing the
adhesive into all surface irregularities, forming an effective seal.
After shrinking, the imprint is permanent and solvent resistant.
-: FEATURES & BENIFITS :-
- Meets ANSI C37.20.2 standards for MV switchgear application up to 36 KV.
- Reduces Bus Bar clearance requirements.
- It is mainly used for insulating, anti-corrosive and mending purposes at the
bending part.
- Protects against accidental flash-over.
- Halogen free & anti-tracking.
- Meets IP 68 (ingress Protection)
