Vin Dip’s switchgear boots are engineered and manufactured with perfection to insulate and to prevent weather and animal related outages throughout substations, transmission, and distribution lines. Our products are made with UV stabilized PVC material. With over 28+ years of experience in dip moulding, we have developed 3500+ variants till date. Our proprietary composition ensures the production of boots with high dielectric strength and flame retardant (UL94/V0). Vin Dip moulds the apt boots for every switchgear need.
Bus bar boots are used for insulating switchgear connectors, bus bars and electric terminations with service voltage up to 36 KV. They are used in switchgear and transformer cable boxes where the air clearances are insufficient for normal operation or protect against flashover due to rodents or high humidity. These boots are used to insulate the joints instead of taping which is an arduous process which needs to be undone every time there is a maintenance call. While using our boots it becomes easy to install them in the first place and can be removed and re-installed whenever there is maintenance.
Why Dip Moulding?
Dip moulding is a versatile and cost-effective manufacturing process. The process involves dipping a mould, often made from metal or other heat-resistant materials, into a liquid polymer solution. Upon withdrawal, the polymer adheres to the mould, forming a uniform coating. After curing, the moulded component is removed, resulting in a seamless, custom-shaped insulation product. The advantages of dip moulding include its ability to produce complex shapes, accommodate various thicknesses, and create durable, high-quality products that are tailored to specific applications. This makes it an ideal solution for industries that require bespoke insulation components.
Customized shrouds/busbar boots for Switchgear
Customized dip moulded busbar boots offer several benefits for switchgear applications:
Easy to Install and Reinstall: Busbar shrouds are easy to install and less cumbersome to the regular insulating tapes. Our busbar boots come with buttons for easy installation and removal during maintenance.
Custom shrouds as per specifications: We have developed over 3500 models of busbar shrouds with various profiles and dimensions. With over 28 years of experience and a team with good expertise, we can help you with the apt shrouds for your busbar arrangement.
Budget-optimized production: Compared to other manufacturing processes, dip moulding is relatively low-cost. Dip moulding is particularly well-suited for producing small batches of custom or specialized bus bar shrouds, where the high cost and complexity of injection moulding would be prohibitive.
Reliability-tested shrouds: Our shrouds are designed to meet or exceed industry-specific standards and regulations, ensuring that the switchgear is compliant with the latest safety and performance guidelines. Customized PVC boots can be tested and certified to meet the required standards.
For companies in the switchgear and utility sectors, choosing customized dip-moulded insulated boots and shrouds is not just about safety—it’s a smart, long-term investment that enhances performance while reducing operational costs.
