PTFE Tubular Bus Bar

WOPENG PTFE Tubular Bus Bar is specifically designed for extreme environments. Its main insulation employs a precise mechanical winding of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) film, with silicone oil applied between layers to form a dense, gas-free continuous insulator. The product incorporates no fewer than 5 capacitive screens (including zero screen, grading screen, and grounding screen) and is equipped with silicone rubber creepage extenders to achieve optimized electric field distribution and enhanced creepage performance. It offers excellent corrosion resistance and superior high/low-temperature tolerance, with an operating temperature range of -60°C to 250°C and a protection rating reaching IP68.

Typical application solutions for insulated tube busbars
Method 1: Connect the main transformer to the control room
This is the most common way of tubular busbar application. The busbar is directly connected from the low-voltage terminals of the main transformer to the
switch cabinet terminals in the control room. Main advantages: Suitable for large currents. The wiring is clear and beautiful, and can be fully insulated or semi-insulated.

Method 2: The busbar is routed through a cable trench or cable mezzanine
The figure below is another common way of applying tubular busbars. The busbars can be connected to switch cabinets through underground cable trenches
or cable mezzanines, and can also be used for connections between switch cabinets. This busbar is fully insulated and is particularly suitable for situations
where wiring is difficult.

Method 3:Tubular busbars are routed through cable trenches or cable mezzanines
This method is the top cable connection method of the switch cabinet. It can also be connected through the cable mezzanine and the bottom cable connection
method. Users can choose according to the actual situation. The busbar type is fully insulated.

Method 4:Tubular bus CNC monitoring system
Our company develops it by itself and implements unmanned intelligent monitoring of multiple technical data of the tube bus.

Technical Challenges

Winding Process Control: Inter-layer tension uniformity requirement within ±2%, with ultrasonic assistance needed for bubble control.  

Inter-Layer Adhesion: Low surface energy of PTFE tubular bus bar results in weak inter-layer bonding, requiring special treatment agents.  

High Cost: Expensive raw PTFE tubular bus bar material leads to significantly higher product costs compared to other types.  

Difficult Recycling: PTFE tubular bus bar material is hard to degrade, resulting in high environmental processing costs.

Fully Insulated Tubular Bus Bar Industry knowledge

1. What Is PTFE Tubular Bus Bar

The PTFE Tubular Bus Bar is a high-performance insulated conductive component, composed of a metal conductor core (copper or aluminum) and a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) insulation layer. It is specially designed for high-voltage power systems, leveraging PTFE’s unique properties to ensure safe and efficient power transmission. A professional PTFE Tubular Bus Bar manufacturer and PTFE Tubular Bus Bar supplier produces products that meet high-voltage standards, with a Custom PTFE Tubular Bus Bar manufacturer offering tailored solutions for specific project needs.

(1) Core Structure and Key Traits

The PTFE Tubular Bus Bar features a conductor core (conductivity ≥63% IACS) wrapped in a 4-8mm thick PTFE insulation layer. It boasts a breakdown voltage of ≥35kV/mm, working temperature range of -60℃ to 200℃, and insulation resistance above 1.0×10¹⁴Ω. PTFE’s non-stick, corrosion-resistant, and low-friction properties make the bus bar ideal for harsh high-voltage environments.

2. Why PTFE Tubular Bus Bar Is Used in High Voltage Systems

High voltage systems (≥110kV) demand exceptional insulation, stability, and durability, and PTFE Tubular Bus Bar meets these needs with its unique advantages, including:

  • Superior insulation performance: Withstand high voltage gradients (≥35kV/mm) to prevent leakage and short circuits, critical for 110kV-500kV systems.
  • Extreme temperature adaptability: Operates stably in -60℃ to 200℃, suitable for outdoor high-voltage substations in cold or hot regions.
  • Corrosion and pollution resistance: PTFE is inert to chemicals, moisture, and dust, reducing maintenance frequency in industrial or coastal high-voltage environments.
  • Low dielectric loss: Dielectric loss factor ≤0.0002 at 50Hz, minimizing power loss in long-distance high-voltage transmission.

A reliable PTFE Tubular Bus Bar supplier ensures these advantages are consistent, making the bus bar a preferred choice for high-voltage power systems worldwide.

3. Performance Comparison with Other High-Voltage Insulated Bus Bars

Performance Comparison of PTFE Tubular Bus Bar and Other High-Voltage Insulated Bus Bars
