Isoflexx®
Combination of features of cables
◦flexibility (in one direction)
◦insulation
and rigid Cu bar
◦higher current carrying capability
◦mechanical withstand (in the other direction)
◦better electrical contacts
◦more compact than cables
Isoflexx® consists of
Copper lamellas of 0.5 / 0.8 and 1mm
◦high grade copper E-Cu 57, F20
◦up on request as a tinned version
Insulation
◦giving the right compromise between flexibility and stiffness (not too loose, not too tight)
◦high quality, high temperature PVC (Isoflexx® Classic), available in different colors
◦halogen free, high temperature Silicone (Isoflexx® Premium)
◦halogen free, high temperature Santoprene (Isoflexx® Supreme), more expensive, up on request
Isoflexx® is used
for flexible connection between bars and electrical devices (switches & switchgear, transformers, generators, etc.)
to substitute bars and cables within switchgear for different advantages
to create easy-to-install prefabricated connection kits (e.g. Delta-Star-Starters)
to connect moving machine parts
to absorb mechanical shocks (e.g. circuit breaker connections)
