Hi
Does anyone know a good material to insulate the bolts from the bar joints in a 400V switchboard?
Thanks!

RE: Bolt insulation solutions

Out of curiosity, why should the bolts be insulated from the joints?

Maybe my english was bad...
I mean the bolts are connecting the joints(in fish plates, at connections between horizontal busbars ).
Those bolts are not insulated, and the rest of bar is.
Need to insulate also bolts(against accidental touch, etc).
