ABB GLB0201

Product Brief:​ The GLB0201 is a molded insulating support (busbar holder/spacer) used in ABB low-voltage switchgear, distribution boards, and S200 / S800 panel enclosures to mechanically fix and electrically isolate horizontal/vertical copper or aluminum busbars. It prevents phase-to-phase short circuits and provides rigid spacing in the bus duct arrangement.

Description

ABB GLB0201

  • Technical Specifications (typical):
    • Busbar Size Accepted: 5 × 30 mm to 10 × 80 mm (flat bar) — confirm exact per GLB series datasheet
    • Rated Voltage: ≤1000 V AC (low-voltage insulation)
    • Rated Short-Time Withstand Current (Icw): Matches busbar rating (typically 10–50 kA / 1 s)
    • Creepage Distance: ≥12 mm (per IEC 60664for 1000 V)
    • Material: DMC (Dough Molding Compound) or BMC — flame-retardant, halogen-free, UL 94 V-0
    • Fixing: M6 or M8 screw to panel / frame; clamp screw for busbar
    • Color: White, beige, or red-brown
    • Operating Temp.: –40 °C to +120 °C (short-term)
  • Functional Features:
    • Phase-barrier design — separates A/B/C/N busbars at defined spacing (typically 30–50 mm center-to-center)
    • Slotted clamp allows busbar thermal expansion without loosening
    • Can be stacked or ganged for multi-tier bus arrangements
  • Application Scenarios:
    • Main distribution board (MDB) busbar fixing
    • Motor Control Center vertical bus support
    • S800 / S200 panel internal busbar spacing
    • Retrofit busbar insulation in legacy LV cubicles
  • Material & Structure / Working Principle / Installation / Precautions:
    • Bolt to panel/chassis at marked positions; insert busbar into clamp slot; tighten clamp screw to spec (avoid over-torque which cracks DMC)
    • Verify busbar phase spacing complies with clearance requirement for system voltage (IEC 61439-1/2)
    • Do NOT use in medium-voltage (>1 kV) applications — not rated for higher BIL
    • Periodically inspect for cracking in DMC material in high-humidity/high-pollution environments
