Types in Copper Busbars:
Flat Busbars in Bahrain
Flat Busbars are metal ridges which are conductive in nature and are used for power bus bar distribution within electrical circuits. This is because they are flat, hence requiring minimal space for installation and interconnection, as well as improving system performance.
Hallow Busbars in Bahrain
Hollow busbars can be described as cylindrical conduits that are used for the distribution of electrical power. They have a particular design which makes the devices cool and lightweight suitable for applications which require high currents in different sectors.
Insulated Busbars in Bahrain
Insulated busbars are constructed in such a manner that the path of current flow is sandwiched between two insulating layers to minimize chances of electrical contact and environmental influences. Thus electrical systems have safety and reliability while allowing flexibility and easy installation.
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
- Excellent Conductivity: Copper is celebrated for its conductivity of electrical current with excellent news that transmission of electricity does not come with significant loss.
- Corrosion Resistance: Another benefit of copper bus bars is long life and reliable performance due to high corrosion resistance of copper material.
- High Thermal Conductivity: They effectively shed off heat to ensure that none is trapped next to the electrical elements to cause a short circuit and thereby enhancing performance of electrical appliances.
- Malleability and Ductility: Copper bus bars also contain a flexible nature characterized by ease in shaping or bending them to fit certain designs, which makes installation more convenient and problem free.
- Low Maintenance: Because of its high durability and corrosion resisting feature copper bus bars can be used with least amount of maintenance thus saving the cost of downtimes.
- Compatibility: They can be connected with different connection types such as soldering, welding, and bolting, hence, some of them tend to be versatile in joining and construction.
