M-Seal Bus Bar Tubings are made of specially formulated, irradiation cross-linked,
flame-retardant, track-resistant polyolefins which will shrink to fit rectangular,
square or round bus bars. These tubing's are especially designed for insulating
medium voltage bus bars (till 36kV). We have developed M-seal Bus Bar Insulation
tubings with only one word in mind: SAFETY. These are highly recommended for
covering exposed bus bars in pillar, boxes, electrical switch gears, cabinets and bus
ducts. This greatly reduces the risk of accidental electrocution of personnel
working on or near live bus bars.
The tubes are highly flexible, enabling them to be easily installed on curves and
bends without fear of cracking. They are available in different sizes to cover the
entire range of copper and aluminum bus bars. They are available in wide range of
expansion ratios so each size of tubing fits over a wide range of bus bars. The
tubings are ideal for original equipment assembly and for retrofit applications
where access to only one end is available. The M-Seal bus bar heat-shrinkable
tubes are also ideal for installation on overhead lines to protect against accidental
bridging caused by birds and animals.
