RPG 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.

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.
