Types in Copper Busbars:
Flat Busbars in Oman
Flat bus bars are electrical conductors which have a rectangular cross-section that is used for efficient power distribution, enhanced heat dissipation and ease of use in confined electric systems.
Hallow Busbars in Oman
A hollow bus bar is a light conductor which is used for electrical systems. These design helpscooling, minimum use of material required, it conducts high current of electric current hence useful in high functions of electricity.
Insulated Busbars in Oman
An insulated bus bar offers secure energy transfer with low levels of electrical risks like electric shock or short circuit. They provide great conductance with high insulation for improved safety and performance.
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
- High Conductivity: The coppers bus bars on the other hand provide some of the best electrical conductivity hence allowing efficient power distribution without wasting much power.
- Durability: They are highly durable and can also endure the vagaries of the environment especially due to their flexible nature.
- Corrosion Resistance: Copper bus bars do not corrode as they are made of copper that easily cooperates with other metals, thus making them efficient in many ways.
- Thermal Conductivity: It is also characterized by good thermal coefficient of expansion, this make it possible for the heat produced to be dissipated hence enhancing the temperatures stability of the system.
- Ease of Fabrication: Copper bus bars can be easily worked, curved or formed to different patterns, hence giving good design and usability for complicated electrical circuits.
