Types in Copper Busbars:
Flat Busbars in Saudi Arabia
Flat busbars are conductive strips of rectangular cross-section used for power distribution in electrical equipments. It can easily be installed and connected because of their low profile, and uniform shape which enhances space utilization in different settings.
Hallow Busbars in Saudi Arabia
There is a mechanical advantage in Hallow busbars because they are made of tubular steel that gives additional strength and conductivity for power distribution. One of its benefits is that their body is built of the hollow, thus enabling coolness for used in current applications.
Insulated Busbars in Saudi Arabia
An insulated busbar is a single or multiple conductor running in complete or partial circuit that has an insulation around it for increased safety against electric shocks. They also ensure that there is adequate flow of power and also issues to do with short circuits are well dealt with.
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 Thermal Conductivity: Copper bus bars act as good heat sinks for heat produced during the operation to avoid melting and consequently enhancing system integrity.
- Corrosion Resistance: Copper is resistant to corrosion and has a documented long life and durability even in some of the most severe conditions.
- Malleability and Ductility: This was due to the flexibility offered by copper bus bars that can be easily formed and bent to conform to intricate designs, thus implementing the section.
- High Mechanical Strength: Copper bus bars become mechanically stable and can resist mechanical forces, stresses and other forms of vibrations.
- Low Maintenance: Copper bus bars are also long lasting structures whose life is further enhanced by their ability to withstand corrosion hence leading to low maintenance costs and unscheduled station downtimes.
- Compatibility: Copper bus bars have good compatibility with insulation material and connection configuration, making it feasible to be adopted in multiple systems.
