Challenge

Power connections inside energy-storage and power-conversion cabinets must fit limited space while meeting the project’s electrical, insulation and environmental requirements. Where movement or thermal expansion is expected, a rigid connection may not provide the needed flexibility.

Heat Shrink Insulated Copper Busbar Product

Solution

The design combines a flexible braided section with formed connection terminals and heat-shrink insulation. Copper and aluminum grades, joining method, exposed contact areas and validation tests are selected against the approved drawing.

  • Copper and aluminum grades selected to the approved drawing
  • Flexible braided section accommodates movement and assembly tolerances
  • Heat-shrink insulation specified for the application voltage
  • Tin or nickel terminal finish where specified

Why Choose Us

Key Advantages

Material Efficiency

Copper and aluminum can be combined where the electrical and mechanical design permits; the final material choice is project-specific.

Flexible Connection Design

A braided section can accommodate specified movement. Vibration and thermal-cycle performance should be verified for the final assembly.

Defined Insulation

Insulation material, coverage and required electrical tests are defined for each project and checked against the customer specification.

Engineered Contact Areas

Joint geometry, contact finish and mating surfaces are designed for the application; contact resistance is verified when specified.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What equipment is this heat shrink busbar used in?

This copper-aluminum composite busbar is designed for internal power connections in battery energy storage systems (BESS), PV inverters, wind power converters, and battery PACKs. It connects battery modules to PCS units, or links power modules inside converter cabinets.

Why use copper-aluminum composite instead of pure copper?

Copper contact areas can be combined with aluminum where the design allows it. Material selection, joining method and electrical performance must be confirmed for the specific busbar.

What is the insulation rating of the heat shrink tubing?

There is no universal insulation rating for this product family. The selected heat-shrink material, geometry and test requirements must match the customer drawing and operating conditions.

What is the benefit of the flexible braided section?

The braided section can help accommodate installation tolerances and specified movement. Bend radius, thermal cycling and mechanical durability should be evaluated for the intended equipment.

What is diffusion welding?

Diffusion welding is one possible solid-state method for joining copper and aluminum. The appropriate joining process and inspection method depend on the design and qualification requirements.

What is the operating temperature range?

The operating temperature range depends on the selected conductor, joint and insulation materials. It should be confirmed for the final part and installation environment.

What surface treatments are available?

Terminal surfaces can be specified as tin-plated, nickel-plated or bare copper. Finish selection and corrosion testing should follow the project environment and drawing.

What documentation and testing can be specified?

Inspection records, material documents and electrical test reports can be agreed for the specific order. Confirm the required standards, test methods and deliverables before production.
