ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene):

ABS use has grown over the last 50 years as more and more molders and OEMs take advantage of the it's
processing and property versatility. ABS Applications run from automotive interiors and exteriors, boat
hulls and appliances to, Low tension electrical/ electronic components, and industrial equipment.
In general, ABS has high impact strength and rigidity, stands up well to chemicals and weather, and it can
easily be processed with good as-molded surfaces.
Following are the Physical , Mechanical , Thermal , Electrical properties of ABS FR grade .

ABS is suitable for LT Electrical application and it is used in manufacturing Low Tension Current
Transformers. It has replaced Polyester Resin Cast and Tape insulated Cts due to its following
advantages.

1. CTs become Light weight that Resin cast Cts.
2. Temper proof termination can be achieved.
3. Cts are hermetically sealed.
4. Excellent aesthetic.
5. Busbar clamping arrangement.
6. Dinrail mounting arrangement.
7. Low Cost .
8. Less manufacturing time hence faster delivery.
9. Excellent Quality.
