Overview
Products and solutions for switchgear/busduct industries. The insulating portfolio reduces air clearance in switchgear by insulating busbars and gas vacuum bottles, so customers can design more compact and reliable equipment.
Heat Shrink Busbar Sleeve insulates busbar systems up to 36 kV and protects against accidental flashover while reducing air clearance; a separate extra-heavy-wall series (GEHB) extends that to 66 kV.
Read the full overview
Polyolefin Busboot and PVC Busboot are flexible insulating boots/shrouds for busbar and switchgear connections up to 36 kV, installed, removed or replaced in a few minutes; the PVC Busboot is UL certified (File No. E335936) and tested to ANSI C37.20.2.
Busbar End Cap covers the end of a live busbar, in PVC formulated for high-voltage electrical application. Heat Shrink Tape insulates medium voltage busbar connections where tubing can't be used.
Screened Separable Connectors connect single- and three-core polymeric cable to switchgear, transformers and RMUs on type "C" bushings — 630A to 24 kV standard, 630/1250A to 36 kV in the extended range — in EPDM rubber with a touch-proof outer screen connected to earth.
Heat Shrink Joints and CLASS 1 Terminations complete the cable up to 66 kV Class. Insulation Boot for Circuit Breaker insulates draw-out circuit breakers in MV/HV power plants and substations. Bushing Boot insulates the cable termination to the bushing up to 24 kV, and Angleboot insulates termination-box bushings where phase-to-phase and phase-to-earth clearance is less than normal air clearance. Terminal Protector Kit shrouds exposed live parts on RMU, switchgear panel and transformer terminal bushings.
