Copper Foil Flexible Busbar With Insulated Tube

Copper Foil Flexible Busbar With Insulated Tube

The Copper Foil Flexible Busbar with Insulated Tube is a flexible conductive component designed for high-current electrical connections. It features a flexible conductive body formed by stacking multiple layers of copper foil, with end-connection structures that ensure reliable interfacing with batteries, busbars, electrical terminals, and power equipment. An external insulating tube provides electrical isolation and mechanical protection for the conductive area, adaptable to specific equipment configurations. Unlike traditional rigid copper busbars that rely on a single thick copper plate, this type of flexible busbar utilizes multiple layers of thin copper foil to create a conductive path capable of deformation. Its flexible section accommodates assembly tolerances, vertical offsets, vibrations, and thermal expansion, making it particularly suitable for battery packs, energy storage systems, inverters, power distribution equipment, and other space-constrained, high-current applications.

What is A Copper Foil Flexible Busbar with Insulated Tube?

 

Copper Foil Flexible Busbar with Insulated Tube

The Copper Foil Flexible Busbar with Insulated Tube is a high-performance flexible power conductor manufactured by stacking multiple layers of high-purity copper foil, bonding the ends via high-pressure diffusion welding or high-frequency brazing, and encasing the assembly in professional-grade insulation tubing (such as heat-shrink, PVC, silicone, or fluoroplastic tubing).

Exceptional Flexibility and Stress Relief: Compared to traditional rigid busbars, the multi-layer thin-foil structure offers superior bending flexibility, effectively absorbing intense vibrations and stresses caused by thermal expansion and contraction in transformers, battery packs, or motors.

High-Safety Insulation: The outer insulation sleeve provides high dielectric strength-withstanding voltages ranging from 1kV to over 10kV-along with dust and moisture resistance and self-extinguishing, flame-retardant properties, thereby significantly reducing the risk of phase-to-phase short circuits.

Low Skin Effect and High Current-Carrying Capacity: The use of multiple thin copper foil layers increases the conductor's surface area, effectively mitigating the skin effect under high-frequency, high-current conditions and significantly enhancing electrical conductivity and heat dissipation efficiency.

Laminated Copper Foil for Connector Application Advantages: Empowering Diverse Industrial Scenarios
 

Leveraging the aforementioned characteristics, insulated copper foil flexible busbars play a pivotal role in several sectors with high technical barriers:

New Energy and Energy Storage Systems

In energy storage containers and photovoltaic inverters, busbars connecting battery clusters to Power Conversion Systems (PCS) must withstand frequent current fluctuations and the spatial constraints of compact cabinets. Flexible busbars perfectly meet the dual requirements of high power density and high safety.

Rail Transit and Electric Vehicles

Train traction converters and high-voltage distribution boxes operate in environments subject to prolonged vibration. Flexible busbars offer superior vibration and fatigue resistance compared to rigid busbars, while the insulation tubing provides additional protection against dust and water (IP rating).

Data Centers and Smart Grids

In high-power UPS systems and grid reactive power compensation devices, the use of flexible busbars significantly reduces assembly time and simplifies maintenance, while enabling a more compact and aesthetically pleasing internal cabinet layout.
