Bus Bar Insulting Shrouds
Savings in Switchgear Component Cost > Investment in Busboot
Bus boot is flexible electrical insulating boot / shroud for busbar and switchgear connections upto 36KV. These pliable boots can be installed, removed or replaced in few minutes. Made from specially formulated Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) material to provide excellent electrical insulation and to withstand higher operating temperature continuously.
Busboot provides reduction in air clearance, which helps designing compact panels; thereby reduces the material costs by. saving in busbar lenghs, sheet metal components, etc.
It is also call as busbar connection shroud / busbar joint cover, protection shroud(boot) etc.
Features and Benefits
- The most cost effective way to insulate connections in Switchgears.
- High Dielectric Strength.
- Suitable for insulating busbar joint works applications (tees, elbows, etc.)
- Easy to Install or Remove as often as required.
- Complete with fastners.
- Highly resistant to UV rays and ozone. Good for outdoor or indoor applications.
- New design moulds can be developed in a week.
- Unique Over-lapping design ensures additional protection against Flash-over.
- Excellent electrical & thermal properties.
- Customised design possible for any shapes or connections.
- Low tooling cost...a fraction of injection molding.
- No internal stress molded into parts.
- Large parts can be made without significant tooling investment.
