Why Choose the Wöhner 01196 Flexible Copper Busbar?
The Wöhner 01196 is a high-quality laminated flexible copper busbar designed for efficient high-current power distribution within industrial switchboards, control panels and electrical distribution systems. As part of the proven Wöhner 60Classic range, it offers a practical alternative to rigid copper busbars, allowing fast installation without the need for specialist busbar bending equipment.
Manufactured from multiple laminated plain copper strips with durable insulation, the busbar features a 4 × 15.5 × 0.8 mm construction, a 49.6 mm² cross-sectional area and is supplied in a 2 metre length. Its flexible design enables simple routing through confined enclosures while maintaining excellent electrical conductivity.
Rated at 279 A, the Wöhner 01196 incorporates 2 mm insulation, meaning additional protective covers are generally unnecessary. Its halogen-free construction and 105°C insulation make it ideal for demanding industrial applications where safety, reliability and installation efficiency are essential.
