Busbar Copper

1. What Is A Busbar Copper?

A Busbar Copper is a solid or Laminated copper conductor used to carry and distribute high electric current within power distribution systems. Typically made of 99.9% pure electrolytic copper such as C11000 or T2 copper, Copper Busbars offer exceptional conductivity, low electrical resistance, and are widely used in electrical panels, transformers, circuit breakers, and switchgear systems.

There are several types of Copper Busbars available:

• Flat Copper Busbar

• Bare Copper Busbar

• Tinned Copper Busbar

• Silver-Plated Copper Busbar

• Insulated or Flexible Copper Busbar

These products are vital for compact power transmission due to their high current conductivity and thermal efficiency.

2. How To Make A Busbar Copper

Manufacturing a Custom Copper Busbar typically involves the following steps:

1. Material Selection: Choose ETP (Electrolytic Tough Pitch) or OFHC (Oxygen-Free High Conductivity) copper for optimal conductivity and performance.

2. Cutting & Punching: Using CNC or laser cutting machines to match precise shapes and hole layouts based on design.

3. Bending & Forming: Bending the copper plates using hydraulic equipment for specific cabinet or panel layouts.

4. Surface Treatment: Includes tin-plating, silver-plating, or insulation coating for corrosion resistance and safety.

5. Labeling & Packaging: Applying markings or insulation sleeves and packaging based on client specification.

G and N Fortune Limited offers OEM copper busbar fabrication services with CNC accuracy and full RoHS compliance.

3. Busbar Copper Is Used In Application Fields

Copper busbars are used extensively across various industries where high current loads and safety are essential:

• Switchgear and Control Panels

• Power Distribution Units (PDU)

• Solar Inverter and Battery Packs

• Electric Vehicle Charging Stations

• Transformers and Circuit Breakers

• UPS Systems and Data Centers

• Railway and Industrial Automation Equipment

G and N Fortune Limited specializes in producing Custom Copper Busbars tailored for all these applications.

4. The Characteristics Of Busbar Copper

Copper busbars are favored for their unique electrical and mechanical characteristics:

• High Electrical Conductivity — Excellent for minimizing power loss

• Superior Thermal Performance — Heat-resistant under load conditions

• High Mechanical Strength — Maintains structural integrity during bending

• Corrosion Resistance — Available in tinned or silver-plated surfaces

• Customizable Dimensions — Thickness, length, and hole layout tailored to needs

• Compliance Ready — RoHS, CE, and UL standard compliant

These features make them the ideal solution for power distribution systems.

5. How To Design The Busbar Copper

Designing a copper busbar involves several key considerations:

• Current Carrying Capacity (Amps): Determine the load to size the cross-sectional area

• Conductor Type: Choose between bare, tinned, or insulated copper

• Mounting Layout: Plan the hole pattern, spacing, and connector type

• Bending Radius and Shape: Design in 2D or 3D for panel or enclosure fit

• Cooling Requirements: Consider airflow or heat dissipation design

• Safety Standards: Ensure compliance with IEC, UL, or local electrical codes

Our engineering team can support your custom busbar copper design to match your exact project requirements.

6. How To Install Busbar Copper

Proper installation is essential for safe operation:

1. Verify Load Requirements to ensure correct busbar size.

2. Mount on Insulated Supports inside panels or switchgear.

3. Torque Bolts Properly to prevent overheating or vibration.

4. Check for Clearance & Arc Spacing to meet safety standards.

5. Insulate Exposed Ends with sleeves or coating.

6. Label and Test before powering the system.
