TSM Series Busbar Insulator — Willele
Heavy-duty busbar insulators for LV/MV switchboards, inverters, ESS DC buses and control panels.
Compression-molded BMC/SMC body with plated brass/steel inserts for dependable insulation and rigid support.
Multiple heights and thread sizes; customization for color, insert material and compound grade
Introduction to TSM Series Busbar Insulators
Willele TSM Series busbar insulators secure copper or aluminum busbars while electrically isolating live conductors from enclosures and adjacent phases. The standardized TSM footprint provides familiar heights and thread sizes so panel builders can simplify layouts and spare parts.
Each unit combines a compression-molded BMC/SMC body with a plated metal insert. This structure delivers repeatable tightening torque, clean creepage paths and dimensional stability through thermal cycling and vibration—ideal for low- to medium-voltage assemblies where reliability and serviceability matter.
Function and Purpose of Willele TSM Insulators
Electrical insulation: the molded body acts as a non-conductive barrier that reduces phase-to-phase faults and arcing. Mechanical support: the metal insert and core geometry provide a rigid mounting point so busbars remain aligned during vibration and short-circuit forces.
Willele TSM Series Overview
Higher-Strength Selections
For demanding loads or stacked busbars, choose models with higher tensile and torque margins. Material and insert customization are available to match project directives.
General-Purpose Selections
Balanced options for compact layouts in LV switchboards, compact inverters and control cabinets where footprint and repeatable fastening are critical.

Dimensions and Size Chart
Electrical and Mechanical Parameters
Electrical
Select a model whose dielectric withstand comfortably exceeds operating level and expected transients. Verify creepage and clearance in your cabinet layout.
- Typical operating range: −40 °C to +140 °C (material dependent)
- Stable insulation under thermal cycling and vibration
- Outdoor-grade compounds available on request
Mechanical
Threaded inserts enable repeatable torque during assembly and service. The solid core resists compression and provides durable clamping for straight or stacked busbars.
- Check tensile/torque margin against worst-case short-circuit forces
- Match screw size and thread depth to clamps/base plate
- Optional color coding and height variants for phase ID and layout constraints
Material Composition and Properties
BMC/SMC Body
Compression-molded with fiberglass reinforcement to achieve high dielectric strength and dimensional stability.
Metal Inserts
Brass for corrosion resistance and conductivity; steel for higher thread strength—both with protective plating.
Finish & Options
Standard red color. Custom heights, colors and material grades available to order.
Applications
- Switchboards, MCCs, capacitor banks
- Solar/ESS inverters and DC bus assemblies
- Industrial drives, rectifier cabinets, control panels
Selection Guide
- Voltage class: choose a model whose kV withstand exceeds operating voltage plus transients.
- Mechanical load: use busbar mass, spacing and fault levels to select tensile/torque ratings with margin.
- Mounting details: confirm screw size and thread depth; check clamp/washer geometry.
- Environment: specify material grade for temperature, UV or humidity.
Installation & Handling
- Mount on clean, flat surfaces; remove burrs and debris before assembly.
- Align bars so forces are axial to the insert; avoid prying loads.
- Tighten to the torque listed for the specific model and screw size.
- Re-check torque after the first thermal cycle if required by maintenance policy.
Quality & Certifications
Manufactured under documented procedures with incoming material checks and dimensional inspection. RoHS/REACH statements and third-party reports can be supplied for the exact model you purchase.
Ordering Information
For a fast quotation and drawing release, please provide: model (e.g., TSM-50) or target height/thread/depth, insert material (brass/steel) and finish, quantity & destination, and any certification/inspection needs. Optional: color, special compound, packaging.
