What is the specific application for conductors with Type TBS insulation?

Conductors with Type TBS insulation are specifically designed for use in switchboards. This insulation type is recognized for its ability to withstand higher temperatures and is engineered to provide excellent protection for the conductors in demanding environments found in switchboard applications. The materials and construction of Type TBS insulation ensure that it can handle the electrical stresses and potential heat generation associated with switchboards, making it suitable for this application.

In contrast, while residential wiring, outdoor lighting, and heavy machinery also require robust insulation, other types of insulation are generally more appropriate for those applications. Residential wiring typically uses different types of thermoplastic or thermoset insulation that are optimized for the standard conditions found in homes. Outdoor lighting often involves insulation resistant to UV exposure and moisture, while heavy machinery may require insulation that can tolerate mechanical stress and specific environmental conditions. Thus, Type TBS insulation's unique properties specifically align with the requirements of switchboard applications, distinguishing it from other uses.
