Industrial Busbar

Product Details:

An electrical bus bar is defined as a conductor or a group of conductor used for collecting electric power from the incoming feeders and distributes them to the outgoing feeders. In other words, it is a type of electrical junction in which all the incoming and outgoing electrical current meets. Thus, the electrical bus bar collects the electric power at one location.

The bus bar system consists the isolator and the circuit breaker. On the occurrence of a fault, the circuit breaker is tripped off and the faulty section of the busbar is easily disconnected from the circuit.

The electrical bus bar is available in rectangular, cross-sectional, round and many other shapes. The rectangular bus bar is mostly used in the power system. The copper and aluminium are used for the manufacturing of the electrical bus bar.Circuit Globe

The electrical bus bar is available in rectangular, cross-sectional, round and many other shapes. The rectangular bus bar is mostly used in the power system. The copper and aluminium are used for the manufacturing of the electrical bus bar.

The most common of the bus-bars are 40x4mm (160 mm2); 40x5 mm (200 mm2) ; 50x6 mm (300mm2) ; 60x8 mm (480 mm2) ; 80x8 (640 mm2) and 100x10 mm (1000 mm2).

The various types of busbar arrangement are used in the power system. The selection of the bus bar is depended on the different factor likes reliability, flexibility, cost etc. The following are the electrical considerations governing the selection of any one particular arrangement.

• The bus bar arrangement is simple and easy in maintenance.
• The maintenance of the system did not affect their continuity.
• The installation of the bus bar is cheap.

• The following are the advantages of sectionalized bus bar.

  • The faulty section is removed without affecting the continuity of the supply.
  • The maintenance of the individual section can be done without disturbing the system supply.
  • The system has a current limiting reactor which decreases the occurrence of the fault.
  • The continuity of the supply remains same even in the fault. When the fault occurs on any of the buses the entire load is shifted to the another bus.
  • The repair and maintenance can easily be done on the busbar without disturbing their continuity.
  • The maintenance cost of the arrangement is less.
  • The potential of the bus is used for the operation of the relay.
  • The load can easily be shifted on any of the buses.
