Overview
Our Raychem LVIT Busbar Insulation Tubing is a low voltage medium-wall tubing. Made from UV-resistant and flame-retardant heat shrink materials, it shrinks tightly to its original smaller extruded diameter and to the busbar shape when heat is applied. This heat shrink busbar tubing can be easily installed in a factory environment using an oven or in the field using a gas torch or hot air. The insulation tubing is suitable for both enclosed and exposed busbars and for connections in switchgear, substations, motor control centers and other electrical equipment in both indoor and outdoor applications.
