Having Doubts? Our FAQ

What materials does Frigate use to manufacture custom busbar supports?

Frigate primarily utilizes high-grade Sheet Molding Compound (SMC), Dough Molding Compound (DMC), and specialized epoxy resins reinforced with glass fibers. These materials are selected because they deliver an industry-leading balance of mechanical rigidity, high dielectric strength, and exceptional tracking resistance under high-voltage loads. 

Can Frigate manufacture busbar supports according to custom engineering drawings?

Yes, absolutely. As a B2B contract manufacturing partner, we specialize in building to print. Our engineering team reviews your 3D CAD models, production drawings, and electrical clearance requirements to manufacture customized molds that meet your exact phase spacing, multi-tier arrangements, and fastening hardware preferences.

How do your supports handle extreme short-circuit faults?

Our supports are structured and simulated using advanced FEA (Finite Element Analysis) to withstand the massive electromagnetic and mechanical forces (Ipk up to 105 kA) generated during short-circuit faults. The high flexural and tensile properties of our composite materials prevent catastrophic structural deformation, keeping your busway system secure. 

What international certifications do Frigate’s busbar supports comply with?

Our manufacturing facilities and products adhere to major international electrical safety standards. This includes full compliance with IEC 61439 (low-voltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies), UL 94 V-0 flammability standards, and UL 891 safety standards for switchboards, ensuring seamless global deployment. 

How do you optimize total cost of ownership (TCO) and lead times for high-volume buyers?

By managing the process from tool design and material compounding to final compression molding and quality validation, we eliminate middle-tier markups. We leverage strategic inventory planning and standardized production scaling to ensure dependable lead times while drastically reducing long-term replacement costs via zero-maintenance components.
