About Busways & Bus Plugs
Busbars are an essential element in the distribution of electrical power. They are a type of conductor used for transmitting large amounts of electricity between various components in a power system.
Types of Busbars
There are three main types of busbars: copper, aluminum and steel. Copper busbars are commonly used due to their high conductivity, while aluminum is preferred for its light weight and cost-effectiveness. Steel busbars are also used in applications that require higher mechanical strength, such as in heavy-duty industrial settings. Busbar electric and busbar systems come in many different forms including rigid bars, flexible strips, multiple-layer assemblies, or open-frame structures. Depending on the application they may be insulated or uninsulated with various coatings for additional protection.
How Busbars are Made
Busbars are typically made through a process called extrusion, where molten metal is forced through a die to create the desired shape and size. The resulting busbar can then be cut to specific lengths and undergo further processes such as bending or drilling depending on the application.
