CBTM

Medium voltage crosslinked polyolefin bus bar tubing

Medium wall anti-track heat shrinkable tubing specially designed for insulating medium voltage bus bars.

Features and Benefits

  • Halogen free
  • Reduces bus bar clearance requirements
  • Protects against accidental flashover
  • Anti-track
  • CBTM medium wall tubing rated to 25 kV
  • Shrink ratio: 3:1
  • Continuous operating temperature: -40°C to 125°C
  • Shrink temperature: 120°C

Standards

  • ANSI C37.20.2
  • ANSI C37.20.3
  • UL file # E205845

Typical Applications

  • Insulation of medium voltage bus bars in switchgear equipment, transformers and generators

Ordering

Select a dimension which will shrink snugly over the component to be covered. If recovery is restricted the resultant wall thickness will be less than specified.
  • Select options:
    • Color: Red (RD)
  • Please specify the product name, order number and options you require
  • Order example: CBTM 2050, red or CBTM 76/30, red

Please contact your Customer Service Representative for information on custom colors, sizes, lengths and material data sheet.

Application ranges noted above selected to obtain minimum insulation thickness required to meet ANSI C37.20.2 withstands requirements at bus bar spacing noted below. These spacings were determined from a limited number of test configurations. Due to the wide variety of bus bar configurations, these spacings should not be employed without actual testing by the user.
