The VMS range provides a flexible, high-performance solution for single-phase applications in both AC and DC systems.
Each support can hold one, two, or three conductors and achieve fault ratings up to 100 kA for 1 s at 300 mm spacing.
Used with or without spacers, VMS supports allow custom conductor centres, or fixed options at 110 mm, 122.5 mm, and 130 mm, giving engineers precise control over layout and clearances.
Manufactured from glass-reinforced polyamide 6.6, they combine mechanical strength, thermal stability, and ease of installation.

Technical Information for VMS Range Busbar Supports
You will find useful technical information below but, if you have any questions, please contact our technical team for support.
† In line with the limits set out in IEC 61439, insulating components in contact with conductors may be required to continuously operate at an average of 140 °C (max. 145 °C).
This range of products meets the requirement, the material for them being assigned thermal class F established using methods similar to IEC 60085.
