KEY FEATURES
TE Connectivity’s (TE) Raychem high voltage busbar insulation tape
(HVBT) is a heat-shrinkable, adhesive-coated tape which provides
insulation enhancement and protection against accidentally induced
flashover. HVBT tape is designed to combine the integrity of a heat-
shrinkable tubing with the versatility of a wraparound product.
HVBT tape is quick and easy to install. Upon application of heat the tape
shrinks and the adhesive lining melts amalgamating the overlapping
layers, to produce a complete lap to lap seal. A single layer of HVBT
tape, two-thirds overlapped, will provide AC voltage withstand (flashover
protection) to at least 17.5 kV increasing to 36 kV if a second layer
is applied.
Although HVBT tape will adhere to itself and other insulating materials, it
will not adhere to metal or porcelain, allowing easy removal for maintenance.
HVBT tape offers a simple and effective solution to the problems of
retrofit insulation of busbars, particularly where existing equipment
cannot be dismantled. It can be used for indoor and outdoor
applications and is easily installed over a wide variety of shapes,
including complex connections.
Customers can count on consistent, high quality products, driven by TE’s
proven innovation and backed by our extraordinary customer support.
