800V Busbar Insulation

Busbar insulation for 800V EV architectures and high-voltage switchgear — heavy-wall heat shrink tubing, fiberglass and PTFE sleeving, sized to your busbar drawing and made in our own factories.

800V busbar insulation with heat shrink tubing on copper busbars

What we supply

We make this material ourselves. Heat-shrink tubing and cable accessories come out of our Suzhou factory; fiberglass, silicone and fluoropolymer sleeving comes out of our Anji factory. WELLELE is the export brand for both, and every shipment goes out with its matching test report — dielectric strength, flammability and dimensions, measured on your actual batch, not copied from a brochure.

Key reference data

Voltage class

800V DC busbars; busbar tubing rated 8.7/15kV and 26–35kV

Shrink ratios

2:1, 3:1, 4:1 · dual-wall adhesive available

PTFE sleeving

Heat-shrink grade rated 260 °C

Flame retardancy

Flame-retardant grades; UL94 / VW-1 test report supplied with the order

UL certification

Available on specified products — confirm model coverage with our engineers

Documentation

Dielectric, flammability and dimension reports with every shipment

Selection is confirmed against your drawing: busbar cross-section, peak voltage, creepage and operating temperature. If you need a value on paper before ordering, ask — the datasheets are ours to send.

Why 800V changes the specification

The jump from 400V to 800V battery architectures raises voltage stress on busbar insulation. Three things change:

Voltage standoff

Thicker wall or higher-rated material for the same air gap, or increased creepage distance.

Partial discharge

Sharp edges, thin coating and poor adhesion fail at higher DC voltage. Heavy-wall heat shrink and coated sleeving manage edge coverage better.

Thermal duty

Higher current density means higher continuous temperature. Fiberglass, silicone and PTFE hold rating where standard polyolefin does not.

Send the busbar cross-section, voltage and clearance requirement. We match the insulation option and size before quotation.

What we supply for 800V busbars

Heavy-wall busbar heat shrink

Cross-linked polyolefin · 8.7/15kV and 26–35kV ratings

Straight busbar runs, joints and terminations. 2:1, 3:1 and 4:1 shrink, dual-wall adhesive for sealing.

Fiberglass & silicone sleeving

Silicone-coated fiberglass · inner-fiber outer-coat

Tight bends, harnesses and high-temperature zones where heat shrink does not fit.

PTFE & fluoropolymer tubing

PTFE / FEP / PFA · 260 °C heat-shrink grade

Chemical and temperature extremes, plus polyimide (PI) tubing for the highest duty.

Heat shrink, fiberglass or PTFE — which one?

Heat shrink tubing

Straight runs, joints, terminations · 2:1–4:1

Fiberglass & silicone sleeving

Tight bends, harnesses, high temperature

PTFE / PI tubing

Chemical and temperature extremes

Most 800V busbar drawings use a combination: heavy-wall heat shrink for the straight runs, coated sleeving where the busbar bends or meets the harness, PTFE where temperature or chemicals bite. Send the drawing and we put the combination together.

Frequently asked questions

Can busbar heat shrink tubing handle 800V?

Yes. Our busbar tubing is rated 8.7/15kV and 26–35kV, so an 800V DC busbar sits well inside the rating. Wall and overlap are still confirmed against your peak voltage and creepage drawing before quotation.

Do you supply test reports with the order?

Yes. Every shipment carries its matching test report — dielectric strength, flammability (UL94 / VW-1) and dimensions, measured on your batch. Datasheets are also available before ordering.

Are the products UL certified?

A UL-certified range is available on specified products. Confirm the exact model coverage with our engineers before ordering, and we send the certificate with the documentation.

Where are the products made?

Heat-shrink tubing and cable accessories are made in our Suzhou factory; fiberglass, silicone and fluoropolymer sleeving in our Anji factory. WELLELE is the export brand for both.

Heat shrink or fiberglass — which is better for an EV busbar?

For straight runs, heavy-wall heat shrink. For tight bends, harnesses and high-temperature zones, fiberglass or silicone-coated sleeving. Most EV busbars use both.

What information do you need for a busbar insulation quote?

Busbar width x thickness, voltage and peak voltage, operating temperature, clearance or creepage requirement, annual quantity and any required test standard.

Need a custom size or spec?

Send busbar cross-section, voltage, temperature and clearance — we return a sized recommendation, lead time and the test report list.
