Application

Technical Charactereristics
Laminated Copper Strips

ISOLAMES are made of high flexibility

laminated copper layers, coated with black
coloured, self-extinguishable insulating
PVC compound.
They are used in :
1. Low voltage power distribution :
Connections of switchboards, panel
boards, transformers and busbars.
2. Industrial applications, controls :
Connection of industrial machineries,
motors, control panels, processing units
and power supplies.

Products Features
Wide range of cross section, from 21 to
1200 mm2.
Various laminated copper layer widths
enable connection on all main apparatus
and copper busbars.
High dieletric strength.
Limited temperature rises compared to
cables or non-insulated copper bars.
High flexibility enables bending by hand.
Space saving : ISOLAMES bend radius
is smaller than equivalent copper cable
one.
Standard delivery length : 2.00 m.
Also available on request :
- Tin plated copper strips.
- Halogen-free insulation material.
- Longer bars (up to 4.00m).

Compliance with NFA 51050, standard.

Electrolytic copper annealed Cu-ETP

Resistivity 1.724 mV cm2/cm (NFA
51100).
Vickers hardness : <50 HV.
Maximum tensile strength 200 N/mm2.
Elongation 30%.

Insulation
Polyvinylchloride (PVC).
Self-extinguishable, class CR2-C2 (NFC
32070, IEC 332-1).
Colour : black.
Application by extrusion or heatshrinking
(80 and 100 mm width series).
Hardness SHORE A : 70 to 80 (DIN
53505).
Oxygen-index : 25.0 % (ASTM D 286370).
Dielectric strength : >23kV/mm.
Elongation after 7 days ageing at 136C :
>200% (UL 758).
Maximum tensile strengh > 16 Mpa.
Maximum elongation : >300%
(DIN 53455).

Product features
Operating temperature at core surface :
-55C to +105C.
Self extinguishable (C32 200).
Operating voltage range : 750V.
Dielectric strength for 15 min before fla
shover (50Hz) :
- Between layers and ground applied on
insulating material surface :>15 000 V.
- Between two conductors with insulation
in contact : > 30 000 V.
Complying with UL 758.

Current and Temperature

Rating of ISOLAMES
They have different current flow capacity
depending on copper cross-section and
dimensions.
Attached form and drawing indicate bar
heating created by current flow value for
each ISOLAMES bar.
Taking into consideration your needs for :
- Current flow value (A).
- Acceptable bar heating (DT).
- Acceptable copper layer width (W),
select the correct ISOLAMES bar for
your application.
Bar heating (DT) : Ta=Tc+DT
Ta = bar temperature when crossed by
current flow (A).
Tc = Cabinet Internal Temperature.
DT = Bar heating.
IMPORTANT NOTE : Maximum Ta
105C.

Approval
- LLYOD N 93/3002.
- CSA N 099903.
- UL105C N E 113407.

ISOLAMES selection for :

Current flow capacity of 360 A.

Operating cabinet temperature of 35C.
Maximum bar temperature of 85C.
Maximum space available = 20 mm.
DT = 85C - 35C = 50C
In the column heating 50, we look for 360 A. The two acceptable bars closes to the value are 3 x 24 x 1 and 4 x 20 x 1.
Taking into consideration 20 mm maximum width : final choice becomes 4 x 20 x 1.
