Flexible Insulated Cooper Bus Bar

Flexible bus bar consists of pure electrolytic copper laminates within a protective PVC jacket. The individual laminates slide smoothly against one another allowing the flexible busbar to be easily shaped, twisted and bent to fit a wide range of panel layouts. When compared to standard round cable, flexible busbar offers space saving advantages due to a tighter bend radius and the ability to replace multiple round conductors with a single piece of flexible busbar. Modification of fewer conductors and the elimination of ring terminals can result in significant cost reduction.

Advantages

· Space advantage

Requires smaller wire bending space than cables.
If it has a larger amperage, a single flexible bus bar can replace multiple cable laying.
Protective PVC sheathing allows for the installation of flexible bus bars in narrow areas where rigid busbars cannot be used.

· Time advantage

Eliminating the need for connectors reduces installation time and cost.
Can replace rigid bus bar design, saving time for engineering and manufacturing rigid bus bars.
It is easier to bend and shape than large cables, resulting in faster installation speed.

· Operational advantages

When connected to the flexible bus bar, a larger surface area is utilized, therefore the connection point is at a lower operating temperature.
No longer requires ring terminals. Just drill holes in the exposed areas, connect the end bolts of the flexible bus bar to the rigid bus bar or electrical components.

· Aesthetic advantages

Increase design flexibility.
Organizational rigor makes it difficult to establish connections.
