Switchgear Insulation Products
Busbar Tubes - BUSTUBE
Bus Tube is heat shrinkable tube designed to
insulate busbar systems up to 36KV & to protect
against accidental flashover. The tubes are manufactured from high quality non tracking
crosslinked polyolefin material. Meets ANSI C37.20.2 standards for MV
switchgear application up to 36 KV.
-: FEATURES & BENIFITS :-
- Reduce Busbar clearance.
- Prevent Busbar from chemical corrosion effected by strong acid, alkali,
salt etc.
- Solve the problem of insulation among Busbar in Bus Duct.
- Halogen free, flame retardant.
- High dielectric strength.
- Highly Flexible for use on straight or angled bars without creasing.
Technical Qualification Report : QR 1019
