Areas of application for Isoflexx® laminated busbars

Isoflexx® laminated busbars made of copper can be used for all electrical connections in control cabinets and in low-voltage installations.

Whether as a movable component within solid busbar systems, for connection to generators, transformers, switchgear and switching devices, as a supply line to machine switches, and immersion baths or as a riser in switchgear – Isoflexx® busbars are innovative and cost-effective connections.

The loose lamellae in the insulation allow for easy bending or twisting and thus offer excellent flexibility when installing the busbars. Isoflexx® copper busbars are also suitable for drilling or punching.

Space-saving

With the same load capacity
the conductor cross-section of
Isoflexx® compared to cables
up to 40 % smaller than cables
and thus allows for smaller
bending radii.

Flexible working

The flexibility allows the
compensation of construction
tolerances during installation
and the assembly time is
drastically reduced.

Material-saving

The smaller conductor cross-section
with Isoflexx® compared to cables
with the same current carrying
capacity reduces material consumption.

colours or personalise your
Isoflexx® and your control
cabinet systems gain in clarity
and safety.

Reliable

Isoflexx® has reinforced
edges, uniform insulation
and are extremely heat
resistant. The dielectric
strength is tested.

Insulation variants of Isoflexx®

Our Isoflexx® Classic and Isoflexx® Premium (105-190 °C) allow higher temperatures than PVC or XLPE cables (70-90 °C). This means that a significantly higher current-carrying capacity can be achieved.

Isoflexx® insulation is resistant and has reinforced edges to withstand high operating voltages. The homogeneous, stress-free insulation prevents cracking at edges. Isoflexx® busbar insulation is available in various colours and complies with the RoHS directive.

Halogenfreie Silikon-Isolierung Isoflexx® Premium

Isoflexx® Premium

The halogen-free silicone insulation of Isoflexx® Premium is self-extinguishing, produces only a very small amount of toxic smoke in case of fire and is therefore often used in public buildings. 

The insulation tube is a homogeneous profile which is pulled over the conductor material. 

Approvals
UL 508

Standards
RoHS, CE, REACH, IEC 61439-1

Isoflexx® Rail

Isoflexx® Rail’s halogen-free TPE insulation generates only a very small amount of toxic smoke in the event of fire and can therefore also be used in public facilities. 

Isoflexx® Rail insulation also fulfills the flame protection requirements for rail applications – for greater safety for people and railroads.

Assembly & processing of Isoflexx®

Assembly & processing of laminated busbars

For Isoflexx® laminated busbars, the current carrying capacity applies according to the following table determined according to IEC or UL standard:

Assembly instructions Isoflexx®

The following standards should be considered for bolting Isoflexx® busbars:

  • DIN 43671 & 43670 Busbars with rectangular cross-section.
  • DIN 43673 Currents for busbars – drilling and screwing


Isoflexx® connections can be easily made by yourself with the right tools & accessories. By stripping the ends,

Isoflexx® offers more safety in your installations, because you do not need cable lugs. The connections must be stripped by yourself.

Treatment of the contact surfaces
The surfaces should be even, but not polished. The contact resistance is lower if the contact surfaces have a medium roughness (RA 1.6-3.2). Contact surfaces should be free of oxide and grease. If this is not the case, the contact surfaces must be cleaned.
