    Comparison of Busbar Insulation

    Uploaded by

    Derek Ong
    The document compares the characteristics of two busbar insulation materials: 1) Non-flammable MEGADUCT "FLUIDIZED BED" epoxy with a temperature rating of 180°C and 2) A flammable mylar film from another manufacturer with a temperature rating of 105°C. The epoxy material is self-extinguishing, emits low smoke and is non-hygroscopic, while the mylar film emits toxic smoke and is hygroscopic. The epoxy insulation process is fully automated while the mylar process relies more on manual wrapping and is prone to human error. Testing shows the epoxy material has better chemical resistance, toxicity, impact resistance
