Heat-shrinkable Busbar Insulation Tubing

The use of Raychem tubing BBIT allows equipment designers the freedom to reduce air spacing between busbars. such as in the manufacture of switch­gear cabinets where space is at a premium. Raychem tubing BBIT provides flashover protection up to 36 kV.

• BBIT tubing for use on straight or bent bars where some clearance reduction or 33 kV insulation is required
• Particularly useful in cortined spaces, Raychem tubing BBIT can be used on both circular and rectangular copper or aluminium busbar
• Raychem thick wall, heat-shrinkable tubing BBIT provides insulation enhan­cement and protection against flashover and accidentally induced discharge
• On application of heat the tubing shrinks snugly over the busbar profile ensuring that the required minimum wall thickness is obtained
• Raychem tubing BBIT is manu­factured from a non-halogen based polymer which has excellent perfor­mance in high voltage environments and reduces the noxious and corrosive effects in fire situations
• Compatible with all other products in Raychem MV insulation enhancement system
• Raychem tubing BBIT can be installed easily during large scale production using an oven or in the field using a gas torch or hot air
• Flame retardant and halogen free
• Can be installed on a wide range of curved or bent busbars without cracking or creasing
• Exceptional insulation and long term reliability even at continuous operating temperatures
• Additional range to suit 1000V application available on request
