Low Voltage Busbar Insulating Tubing LVIT

Raychem Low Voltage Busbar Insulating Tubing LVIT

Raychem

TE Connectivity (TE) Raychem medium-wall, flame retardant, heat-shrinkable Low Voltage Busbar Insulation Tubes LVIT are suitable for insulating busbars up to 1 kV. These highly flexible tubes can be used on curved and bent busbars with circular and rectangular cross-sections.

Our TE Raychem LVIT tubes can be easily installed in a factory environment using an oven or on the field using a gas torch or hot air. These tubes are manufactured in UV-resistant material, making them suitable for indoor and outdoor applications.

Our TE Raychem LVIT tubes are suitable for enclosed and exposed busbars and connections in switchgear, substations, motor control centers, and other low-voltage electrical equipment and applications.
