Busbar Insulation Sleeves
Raychem Busbar Insulation Sleeves are heat-shrinkable insulating tubes used to protect copper and aluminium busbars in electrical panels and switchgear systems. They provide excellent insulation, flashover protection, and safety against accidental electrical discharge. The sleeves shrink tightly over busbars when heated, ensuring reliable insulation and long service life. They are flame-retardant, flexible, moisture-resistant, and suitable for low and medium voltage applications up to 36 kV and above. Commonly used in switchgear, transformers, substations, and solar power systems.
- Offer a wide range of busbars in different designs and sizes
- Includes Raychem Sleeve or PVC sleeve / painted type to provide better insulation to live terminals.
- Highly complex accurate Rectangular, Round, and Hollow busbars from copper or aluminium
- Corrosion resistant
- Accurate dimensions
Description
Raychem RPG Busbar Insulation Sleeves are heat-shrinkable insulating tubes designed for copper and aluminium busbars used in LT and MV switchgear, panel boards, substations, transformers, solar inverters, and bus duct systems. These sleeves provide electrical insulation, flashover protection, and mechanical protection for live busbars operating in confined electrical enclosures.
Key Features :
- Heat-shrinkable sleeve that tightly conforms to rectangular or round busbars after heating.
- Suitable for both copper and aluminium busbars.
- Reduces risk of flashover, short circuits, and accidental discharge.
- Excellent anti-tracking and corona resistance for medium/high-voltage environments.
- Flame-retardant and halogen-free material.
- High flexibility allows installation on bent or curved busbars without cracking.
- Resistant to UV, moisture, chemicals, and mechanical impact.
- Allows reduction of air clearance between busbars in compact switchgear designs.
Advantages :
- Allows reduced phase-to-phase clearance in compact switchgear.
- Improves personnel safety by insulating exposed conductors.
- Reduces maintenance caused by tracking and contamination.
- Enhances system reliability in harsh environments.
- Provides mechanical protection in addition to electrical insulation.
