Low-voltage main busbar heat shrink tubing

Fiber and communications infrastructure knowledge brief Published 22 Jan 2023

Prepared for preliminary research by the ENSAA knowledge desk. Confirm optical interfaces, port or core capacity, electrical input and output, enclosure protection, thermal design and installation limits against current standards and product documentation.

Low-voltage heat shrink busbar insulation tubing provides effective electrical insulation, safety, and protection for switchgear busbars up to 1 kV. ApplicationsLow-voltage heat shrink tubing is widely used for insulating main busbars in low-voltage switchgear, motor control centers, and substations. It prevents accidental contact with live parts, reduces the risk of short circuits, and protects against discharge faults caused by small animals or conductor overlap.

It also helps prevent corrosion, pollution, and flashover, while allowing reduced phase-to-phase and phase-to-ground distances, which is beneficial for compact switchgear designs.

Material and Properties

Made from polyolefin or specially formulated thermoplastic polymers that are UV-resistant, flame-retardant, and low smoke. Provides good flexibility for installation on curved or bent busbars of both circular and rectangular cross-sections. Environmentally friendly and RoHS-compliant, suitable for indoor and outdoor applications.

Available in various sizes and wall thicknesses, typically with a shrink ratio of 2. 5: 1 for low-voltage applications up to 1 kV.

Installation

Can be installed in a factory environment using an oven or in the field using a gas torch or hot air. Shrinks snugly over the busbar profile to ensure the required minimum wall thickness and maintain insulation integrity. Suitable for both enclosed and exposed busbars, providing enhanced safety and insulation performance.

Benefits

Enhanced safety for personnel by covering exposed live parts. Reduced risk of electrical faults such as short circuits and flashover. Supports miniaturization of switchgear cabinets by allowing closer spacing of busbars.

Durable and flexible, maintaining insulation performance over time and in various environmental conditions. In summary, low-voltage heat shrink busbar tubing is an effective solution for insulating main busbars in switchgear up to 1 kV, offering safety, flexibility, and compliance with modern electrical standards while supporting compact and reliable switchgear design.
