Flexibar is said to allow a reliable alternative to cable or rigid busbar conductors, adding flexibility in panel designs, saving valuable panel space, and reducing installation time and cost. Flexibar can serve as a 200-1,600 Amp conductor solution for busbar systems, power distribution, uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems, ac/dc drive units, switchgear, motor controls, and transformers. It has a high-temperature PVC insulation that permits the conductor’s copper laminates to slide within a protective jacket, allowing twisting and bending in tight areas where a rigid busbar or large-diameter cable cannot be used. It eliminates need for termination lugs and improves the appearance of panel systems. Larger connection surface area of Flexibar lowers operating temperatures, compared to cable. Tin-plated Flexibar delivers corrosion resistance. Pre-formed made-to-order Flexibar meets customer specifications for repetitive OEM-type projects, MRO applications, and custom electrical connections, for “out of the box” installation.
