ARiC Insulation has been manufacturing SMC (Sheet Moulding Compound) busbar supports from our facility in Maharashtra, India since 1969. Trusted by panel builders, OEMs, and switchgear manufacturers across India, our SMC busbar supports deliver superior dielectric strength, mechanical robustness, and resistance to heat and moisture — with current ratings up to 3200A and fully custom fabrication available for any project specification.
SMC busbar supports are insulating components used to mechanically hold and electrically isolate busbars within electrical panels and switchgear enclosures. They prevent contact between live busbars and the panel enclosure, ensuring safe and reliable power distribution.
SMC (Sheet Moulding Compound) is a thermoset composite material combining glass fibre reinforcement with a polyester resin matrix. This combination gives SMC busbar supports exceptional properties that make them the preferred choice for demanding electrical applications:

Our SMC busbar supports are supplied to panel builders and OEMs working across a broad range of electrical equipment. Common applications include:
ARiC Insulation's in-house manufacturing facility in Maharashtra is equipped with CNC machines and fabrication tooling that allows us to produce custom SMC busbar supports to any size, shape, or configuration your project demands.
Whether you require a standard two-hole or three-hole support, a phase barrier, a special mounting profile, or a completely bespoke design — our engineering team works from your drawings or samples to deliver components that fit precisely into your panel design without modification.
Our SMC busbar supports are designed for applications up to 3200A. For higher current requirements or non-standard configurations, contact us to discuss custom options.
Yes. We manufacture fully custom SMC busbar supports using in-house CNC machining. Share your drawing, specification, or sample and our team will produce components to your exact requirements.
SMC offers excellent moulding precision and surface finish, ideal for complex shapes and tight tolerances. FRP busbar supports are suited for flat profiles and structural components. Epoxy glass laminates provide the highest dielectric strength for HV applications. We manufacture all three — our team can advise the best material for your application.
Yes. We supply to panel builders, OEMs, and switchgear manufacturers across India. We are also expanding supply to international markets including the Middle East, UK, and Southeast Asia.
Standard items are typically available within 7–10 working days. Custom manufactured components depend on complexity and quantity — contact us for a specific timeline.
