Copper busbars are basic parts of an electrical system, having the function of a good and effective way to deliver power. Copper bars with the highest grade of the material are the source of these bus bars. Besides that, copper possesses exceptional conductivity, corrosion resistance, and thermal heat exchange. Because of this, these bars are good for any environment. Bus bars of Copper Fittings are available in different sizes and layouts so that one can accomplish the objectives of the project. Customers can utilize these bus bars in power distribution panels, switchgear and in electrical equipment freely as they will give them high quality bus bars which exactly fit their specifications.
Types in Copper Busbars:
Flat Busbars
Flat copper busbars, which is a rigid, flat, non-flexible conductor that is utilized in both electrical power and grounding systems distribution, are one of the established electrical components. They offer great conduction of current with less power losses, which are therefore utilized in high- current applications, i.e. switchgear, substations, and industrial power installations.
Hallow Busbars
Hollow copper bus bars are tubular conductors of electrical systems that are made use of for the purpose of weight reduction and increasing cooling effectiveness. These materials possess the ability to deliver outstanding electrical conduction and can be therefore, used in applications where current and space decision & heat management are critical factors.
Insulated Busbars
Busbars are insulated electrical conductors that are placed inside a protective insulation layer, and this role is aimed at redistributing the power in the most efficient way as well as improving safety, and reducing energy losses. They are mainly used in distribution systems of power and serve as a compact, strong and reliable solution in industrial, commercial and residential applications.
Copper BusBars Specification
Bus bars usually use standardized dimensions keeping in mind optimal performance and fitting properly within the electrical system. The specifications which are provided include material composition, whether it is copper or aluminum as well as various grades of purity levels for conductivity. Besides, bus bars as well are specified by dimensions in which the thickness, width, and length are designed for current carrying capacity and space limitations of the application. Surface finish, for corrosion resistance and electrical contact are also required to be specified such as tin plating or bare copper.

Features of Copper Bus Bars
Busbars are essential in the electric systems mainly for their high conductivity, versatility in all configurations, efficiency in heat dissipation, durability against harsh environmental conditions, and easy mounting. They supply power efficiently, keeping an even and presentable power supply across any industrial application.
- Conductivity: Solid copper or aluminum are the main bus bar materials used to reduce to the minimum the energy loss and to allow the efficient transmission of the electrical force.
- Versatility: The busbars come in different forms that help bring confidence as to how they can work with varying electrical systems and layouts, thus accommodating a multitude of applications.
- Heat Dissipation: Because of their high area to volume ratio, bus bars can readily disperse the heat generated during electrical transmission, thus making the system operation stable and avoiding overheating.
- Durability: Bus bars are designed to withstand high level of electrical power and environmental conditions through their robust construction and corrosion-resistance features.
- Ease of Installation: Simplicity and standardized connectors of the bus bars make their installation and maintenance pretty easy, therefore downtime and labor cost during system assembly and maintenance are decreased.
