Product Description
Busbar Joint Shrouds
Busbar Joint Shrouds is a flexible and light weight insulating material which is used over bus bars in the electrical systems of commercial and industrial buildings. It offers excellent thermal and electrical insulation for better protection. It is manufactured by using best in class rubber based materials which results in higher tensile strength of 11 Newton per square millimeters. Busbar Joint Shrouds can be easily installed or removed and does not require special equipment for installation.
Features of Busbar Insulating Shroud:
- Suitable for insulating bus bar joint works usage (elbows, tee, etc.)
- Special buttons makes it fast to install, replace or remove during maintenance
- Provides significant reduction in air clearances
- Excellent electrical & thermal properties
- Latest designs moulds can be developed in a week.
- Highly resistant to ozone & UV rays. Good for outdoor & indoor applications.
