Electrical Bus Bar Connections

We offer a wide array of products with applications across many industries.

Electrical bus bar connections.

Our bus bar is engineered to carry electrical power within cabinets and in external distribution assemblies. As a result the once common plated copper bus bar is no longer what you re likely to encounter. Due to the excellent conductivity of copper and aluminum storm s custom bus bars in copper and aluminum are specified whenever an efficent and cost effective power connector is required. Just as often however the connections fail even when people do follow the basic rules.

Battery posts and straps. Also known as etp copper it s often used in electrical applications such as for bus bars and wire connectors as well as for flashing gaskets and rivets. In electric power distribution a busbar also bus bar is a metallic strip or bar typically housed inside switchgear panel boards and busway enclosures for local high current power distribution. Why in the early 70s the epa came down hard on plating facilities.

Insulated copper bus bars. Search our portfolio of bus bar connectors models products and select your specifications. Bus bar connections often fail because those making the connections fail to follow the basic rules. Bolts for bus bar connections prc electrical 27 mar 08 00 50 if there is no chance for corrosion mild steel bolts are ok ie there is no chance of eddy heating on such ms bolt connections but if current flows through bolts stainless steel bolts will heat more due to higher resistivity.

Offering high electrical conductivity and formability 110 copper is 99 9 pure. A bus bar is the most important structure in the substation where power is gathered for further substitution. Flexible insulated bus bar. As9100 d iso9001 2015 itar hubzone request a quote request a technical webinar copper ampacity table bus bar.

Given below is the list of 8 different types of such connections in which busbars can be arranged. They are also used to connect high voltage equipment at electrical switchyards and low voltage equipment in battery banks they are generally uninsulated and have sufficient stiffness to be. Depending on the voltage level reliability and flexibility a bus bar can be arranged in different configurations. From standard solutions to custom designs we offer reliable cost effective products for mechanical electrical digital analog miniature and harsh environment requirements.
