Description: Tubular PVC or polymer sleeves that shrink over the busbar when heated. Uneven thickness after shrinking. A tube busbar sheath is an essential insulating and protective covering used in electrical power distribution systems to safeguard busbars—conductive bars that distribute electricity within switchgear, panel boards, and substations. These pliable boots can be installed, removed or replaced in few minutes. Ensuring proper insulation of busbars is crucial for electrical safety, equipment reliability, and compliance with international standards. Most often used as insulation material when connecting wires together, these tubes can be used to group wires together, or insulate items from. Our Raychem Busbar Insulation Tubing is a thick-wall heat-shrinkable tubing for copper and aluminum busbars, providing insulation enhancement and protection against flashover and accidentally induced discharge up to 72 kV.
