Electrical insulation profiles made of thermoplastic materials
When electrical insulation becomes a design feature
In electrical systems, the quality of insulation determines not only safety, but also the installation space, weight, and service life of the entire assembly. Electrical insulation profiles do much more than just separate components. They structure, stabilize, and protect electrical components under mechanical, thermal, and electrical stress.
Thermoplastic electrical insulation profiles make it possible to integrate insulation precisely where it is functionally necessary and open up new degrees of design freedom for modern electrical applications.
What are electrical insulation profiles?
Electrical insulation profiles are functional plastic profiles that insulate electrical components from each other, thereby preventing short circuits, leakage currents, and thermal damage. They perform both insulating and mechanical tasks and contribute significantly to the safety and reliability of electrical systems.
Advantages of thermoplastic insulation profiles
Thermoplastic electrical insulation profiles offer numerous advantages:
- CTI values can be flexibly adjusted according to requirements
- High electrical insulation effect
- Compliance with relevant fire protection requirements such as self-extinguishing properties
- Good mechanical strength combined with low weight
- High dimensional accuracy and design freedom
- Recyclability and support for sustainable material concepts
Through the targeted selection of materials and profile geometry, electrical insulation profiles can be precisely tailored to the respective application.
Where are electrical insulation profiles used?
Insulation profiles ensure secure insulation, structured cable routing, and mechanical stability in:
- Switch cabinets and power distributors
- Busbar and busway systems
- High-voltage and low-voltage components
- Electrical machines and systems
- Energy and charging infrastructure
