Insulated flexible busbar MMC 50x1x8 400mm² 2m MOFLEX 82203001

What is it and where does the flexible busbar excel?

The MOFLEX flexible busbar is a self-extinguishing busbar made of 99.90% Cu‑ETP copper strips. Thanks to its black UL‑94 V‑0 class PVC insulation, this component combines high mechanical strength with excellent electrical parameters (rated voltage up to 1500 V DC). It is ideal for industrial installations, automation systems, and switchgear where high flexibility is required while maintaining a compact conductor cross-section.

Key benefits – what the installer and user gain

• Higher current carrying capacity – with the same cross-section, the busbar carries 25% more current than traditional flexible busbars, allowing for smaller cross-sections while maintaining safety.
• Reduced skin effect – a smaller cross-section (up to 60% compared to standard copper conductors) reduces voltage losses and facilitates installation in tight spaces.
• High flexibility – elongation up to 200% and tensile strength of 15 N/mm² enable easy routing of the busbar around bends and uneven surfaces without risk of damage.
• Resistance to environmental conditions – operating temperature range from ‑40 °C to 105 °C and self-extinguishing insulation ensure reliable performance in demanding industrial environments.
• Fire safety – flame-retardant UL‑94 V‑0 insulation effectively inhibits flame propagation, which is critical in installations requiring high fire protection standards.
• Manufactured in Germany – guarantee of precise workmanship and compliance with European quality standards.

Installation and operating conditions

Installers will appreciate the ease of routing the busbar thanks to its flexibility – no additional bends or tensioning tools are required. The busbar can be cut to size using standard metal-cutting knives; after cutting, the ends can be easily connected using crimping or copper welding methods. The PVC insulation does not require additional protection against moisture or chemicals, reducing installation time and labor costs. With mechanical strength exceeding 20 kV/mm, the busbar meets requirements for both low-voltage installations (up to 1000 V AC) and higher DC voltages (up to 1500 V DC).

In summary, the MOFLEX busbar combines a compact cross-section, high current-carrying capacity, and resistance to mechanical and thermal factors – all in one, easy-to-install busbar.
