Maxiflex

Maxiflex is Metelec’s own-branded flexible laminated busbar.

A flexible laminated busbar is an electrical conductor used to transmit power in a variety of applications, such as electric vehicles, renewable energy systems, and industrial machinery. It is made up of several layers of copper which are laminated together with insulating layers to form a flat and flexible strip.

The insulating layers between the conductive layers prevent short circuits and provide mechanical stability. The laminated structure allows the busbar to bend and flex without breaking, making it an ideal choice for applications that require frequent movement or vibration.

Maxiflex is designed for applications that include connections from the transformer to switchgear, the interconnection between transformers, connections from or to a generator, switchgear interconnection and machine connection.  Ideal applications include control panels, switch cabinets, transformers motors and generators, UPS and monitoring systems.

Flexible laminated busbars offer several advantages over traditional rigid busbars, such as reduced weight and volume, improved thermal performance, and easier installation. They can be customised to fit a specific application and can be designed to handle high current loads with low resistance.

Metelec now has a new range of halogen-free insulated products. This low-emissions solution is suitable for low smoke and fume areas and in demanding fire-safety environments.
