Features

• Consists of a stack of electrolytic copper laminates protected within a durable PVC insulation
• Laminates are free to slide within the insulation, offering unlimited twisting and bending possibilities for panelboard assembly
• Weight and volume savings for panels
• Improved design flexibility
• Saves time during installation
• Improves safety and reliability of panels
• Tools and accessories also available

• Undrilled palms to customer's specific designs, fitted by power press
• Extra-flexible power connections (expansion rings, busbar etc)
• Tinned electrolytic copper strand - diameter 0.15 mm

• Press welding is welding of laminations to each other through direct current applied to pieces under pressure
• This results in the formation of a solid palm with properties of plain bar
• Smaller cross-section for same capacity
• Runs cooler than equal section
• Plain copper, thickness of laminations 0.3 mm

Applications

• Alternative to large and small cables
• Alternative to rigid busbar sets
• Connections between a main busbar and distribution equipment (contactors, circuit-breakers, switches, etc.)
• Connections between a transformer and a bus-duct
• Connections between a bus-duct and an electrical cabinet
• Expansion joint

Custom FLEXIBAR

Custom part fabrication with FLEXIBAR is relatively easy and can be accomplished with standard tools. For small quantities, ordinary hand tools are adequate. When fabricating large quantities, dedicated production tooling is more cost-effective.

FLEXIBAR Characteristics

FLEXIBAR is UL recognized and CSA certified. The black insulation is moisture resistant, flame (VW-1) and UV retardant, and self-extinguishing (UL 94 V0). FLEXIBAR connections are made by punching directly through the laminates. Since there are no lugs to purchase, fewer parts are required. Installation is simpler and faster and faulty connection problems are eliminated.  FLEXIBAR is formed with multiple layers of thin, tin-plated, electrolytic copper. Easily formed, FLEXIBAR holds its shape, increasing the efficiency of your designs. When bending the conductor into place, its laminates slide freely within the insulation, conforming to your design configurations.
