Why Choose the Wöhner 01253 Flexible Copper Busbar?

The Wöhner 01253 is a high-performance plain insulated flexible copper busbar designed to simplify high-current electrical connections within industrial power distribution systems. Constructed from 4 laminated copper strips measuring 24 × 1 mm, it delivers a rated current of 438 A and is supplied in a practical 2 metre length.

Unlike conventional solid copper busbars, the laminated construction allows the busbar to be bent easily without specialist tooling, significantly reducing installation time and simplifying panel assembly. Its 2 mm thick insulation eliminates the need for additional protective covering, helping create compact, safe and professional switchboard installations.

Designed for demanding industrial applications, the Wöhner 01253 is ideal for OEM panel builders, switchgear manufacturers and electrical contractors requiring reliable, flexible high-current connections whilst maintaining excellent conductivity and long service life.
