Overview
Our Raychem BBIT Busbar Insulation Tubing provides flashover protection up to 35 kV.

Particularly useful in confined spaces, our Raychem BBIT Busbar Insulation Tubing can be used on both circular and rectangular copper or aluminium busbars. When heat is applied, the tubing shrinks snugly over the busbar profile ensuring that the required minimum wall thickness is obtained. They can be installed easily during large scale production using an oven or in the field using a gas torch or hot air. This Busbar Insulation Tubing is manufactured from a non-halogen based polymer which has an excellent performance in high voltage environments and reduces the noxious and corrosive effects in fire situations. The use of this tubing 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.
