Space limitations? The highly flexible slat rail is a space-saving solution.
Investing in infrastructure is not only associated with a high level of responsibility. It is also about big money that is intended for the implementation of projects such as power plants or transformer stations.
Flexible busbars perfectly replace rigid busbars that cannot be used due to space limitations.
They consist of many copper fins insulated with a high-resistance vinyl compound, which influences flexibility and therefore allows for easy shaping.
The main advantage of flexible busbars is the simple and, above all, quick installation. The maximum flexibility makes handling the busbars easier. Busbars with small and medium cross-sections can even be bent or twisted by hand and then retain their shape. Bending is possible with the smallest radius.
The installation time and therefore working time is reduced because no cable lugs are required. The contact surface is produced by punching.Helpful information on installing laminated copper rails avoid damaging the rails and save labor time.
The work becomes more effective. It is best to form flexible busbars before final cutting, drilling and stripping. If you decide to cut the rails before bending/turning, don't forget to leave about 50 mm of stock. Stripping the ends must be done after shaping and with a knife or stripping tool. The best solution for making end contacts is punching out, but when the holes are drilled, the laminated rail should be fixed to prevent the lamellas from slipping. A special drilling template is ideal for this. When assembling the rails, steel or tin-plated screws are always used with a washer. Application range of flexible slat rails is wide and required wherever electricity needs to be transmitted safely, including in:
Ø Transformers
Ø Switchgear
Ø Control cabinets
Ø Switchgear
Ø Generators
and as a replacement for cables and rigid rails. The laminated rails are 40% lower compared to other connection components designed for the same current load.
In summary, the highly flexible slat rails are space- and time-saving. In addition, you will save money not only through the shorter assembly time, but also through the reduction in material consumption.
