A fabricated busbar is a custom-designed copper or aluminum conductor used to distribute electrical power efficiently within electrical panels and transformer systems.
Fabricated Busbar
In electrical power distribution, fabricated busbars are essential components that ensure efficient and safe electricity conduction. These thick strips of copper or aluminium are crucial for the internal connections within switchboards, distribution boards, substations, or other electrical apparatus.
Key Features and Applications
- Conductivity and Structure: Busbars are designed to conduct electricity effectively, whether they are exposed or enclosed within a system. They often feature multiple joints to ensure proper length and configuration, with various take-off points connected to end-use equipment.
- Material Choice: Copper and aluminium are preferred materials due to their excellent electrical conductivity. Copper, in particular, requires specialized skills for fabrication due to its softness compared to steel.
Importance of Busbar Size
The size of a busbar is critical in determining the maximum current it can safely carry. Proper sizing ensures that the busbar can handle the required electrical load without overheating or suffering damage.
