Types in Copper Busbars:
Flat Busbars in UAE
Flat bus bars are long metal plates that carry electrical current to distribute power throughout circuits. Models with a flat shaped base provide possibilities of small size and thanks to the flat parts of the conductor heat dissipation is efficient.
Hallow Busbars in UAE
Hollow bus bars are round conductors used to distribute electrical power in a given circuit. Due to their tubular structure, they save much on weight and material and yet they are perfect in transmitting power as well as dissipating heat.
Insulated Busbars in UAE
Insulated bus bars are solid conductive bars covered with an insulating material to avoid touching by wrong hands or exposing the bus bar to short-circuit risks. It also integrates high efficiency and improved protections in the distribution of powers.
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.
