Insulation Options: Because of the high-ampacity,

Storm Power Components
offers two types of Bus Bar
insulation:
Air Insulated (AlS) -
Conductors are bare or
electroplated and are
supported by standoff
insulators, while the phases
are separated by air only.
These installations work best
where space is not an issue
and cost may be a factor.
low-voltage drop and the
resilience to environmental
factors, insulated busbars are
widely used in feeders to large
motors in the following
applications:
Chemical processing plants
Drilling operations
Light rail transit

Solid insulated (SIS) -

Conductors are covered in a Machine / welding equipment
Insulated busbar systems are most commonly used in switchgear, solid insulating medium
switchboards, and busway (or bus duct) installations. Also referred to consisting of a thermoplastic
as a solid insulated system (SIS), insulated copper and aluminum or thermoset material. Mining equipment
busbars are manufactured from solid aluminum or copper conductors, Solid Insulated Busbar is
recommended for increased
which have a solid insulating medium between each phase conductor Pipeline pumping
safety, reliability and
and ground. performance.

Designed to operate at phase potential, insulated busbars are the Pulp and paper plants
power component of choice in applications ranging from transformer
bushing connections to underground mining power distribution.
The use of insulated copper conductors can enhance your design Plating Available:

by minimizing circuit footprints and reducing turning radii while EriFlex:

Medium phsphorus electroless
eliminating creepage and clearance issues, resulting in more watts Nickel Plating
with less space. Flexible Insulated Bus Bar
Full immersion electroplating
Dielectric Finishing:
Your installation will also benefit from improved: Strike plating

Material Choices: Expoxy Powder-Coated

Safety - By reducing chance of harm to personnel. via Electro Spray and
Bright Tin or Matte Tin Fluidized Bed
Reliability - By reducing chances of flashover and short Nickel
circuits that cause damage to equipment and costly outages. Silver Laminated or Multilayer
A practical example would be the reduction in fault events as 100% Lead Bus Bar:
a result of wildlife crossing the phases. Various Tin/Lead Alloys
Mylar (PET)
Tedlar (PVD)
Protection - Of conductors in industrial facilities with high Standoff Insulators: Teonex (PEN)
amounts of trace materials like oils, sawdust, moisture, and Nomex
caustic materials. Fiberglass-reinforced Kapton
thermo-set polyester Epoxy Glass Board (FR4)
Reduced Impedance - From surface corrosion and defects
Ceramic
