Thickness of heat shrink busbar cover

The suitable thickness of heat shrink busbar cover typically depends on the operating voltage of the busbar system.

For low voltage busbars, with an operating voltage up to 1000 volts, 0.8mm to 1.5mm thick heat shrink covers are recommended.

For medium voltage busbars, with an operating voltage between 1 kV and 35 kV, the suitable thickness of heat shrink busbar cover ranges from 2mm to 4mm.

For high voltage busbars, typically above 35 kV, heat shrink busbar covers should have thickness ranging from 4mm to 6mm.

It's highly recommended to choose the thickness of heat shrink busbar cover based on the manufacturer's recommendations and guidelines, keeping in mind the operating voltage, the environmental factors and the type of busbar system used. Also, it's important to ensure that the heat shrink busbar cover should have good electrical, thermal and insulating properties for safety purposes.

general method for installing heat shrink busbar covers:

Measure the length of the busbar and choose the appropriate size and length of heat shrink busbar cover.

Clean the surface of the busbar thoroughly with a clean, dry cloth to remove any debris or dirt.

Slip the heat shrink busbar cover over the busbar, ensuring that it is centered and covers the full length of the busbar.

Preheat the area where the cover will be installed using a heat gun or other appropriate heating device. Make sure that the temperature is not too high, or the cover may be damaged.

Apply heat to the cover surface in a consistent and uniform manner. Heat should be evenly applied to the entire surface of the cover to ensure that it is properly shrunk.

Check that the cover is correctly applied, and there are no gaps or bubbles. If you see a gap or bubble, apply more heat until the cover is properly shrunk.

After the cover is completely shrunk, allow it to cool before using the busbar.

Remember, these are general instructions for installing a heat shrink busbar cover, and specific instructions may vary depending on the manufacturer and product type. It's important to always read the manufacturer's instructions and guidelines carefully before installation.
