The DMC range represents Termate’s most robust line of busbar supports, engineered for assemblies demanding the highest short-circuit performance.

Manufactured using compression-moulded glass-reinforced polyester (DMC), these supports achieve Icw ratings up to 100 kA for 1 s and are available for a wide variety of line centres and conductor configurations.

Interchangeable body and insert components provide design flexibility, while optional spacer sets simplify installation.

The DMC range is ideally suited to heavy-duty switchboards and industrial control assemblies where mechanical strength, heat resistance, and long-term reliability are critical.
