Aluminium
Bars
Aluminium busbars are electrical conductors used to distribute power in various systems, valued for their lightweight nature and cost-effectiveness. They are available in various shapes and sizes for a wide range of applications, from industrial switchgear to automotive power distribution.
Aluminium busbars provide a reliable and economical solution for power distribution, though they require a larger cross-sectional area than copper to carry the same current. Cost-Effective: Aluminium is significantly cheaper than copper, making aluminium busbars a more budget-friendly option, especially for large-scale projects. Lightweight: Aluminium is about one-third the weight of copper, which eases transport, handling, and installation, and reduces structural support requirements. Corrosion Resistance: Aluminium naturally forms a protective oxide layer, making it suitable for many outdoor and harsh environments when properly finished. Good Conductivity: While not as conductive as copper (around 61% IACS), aluminium's conductivity is sufficient for many applications, especially when a larger cross-section can be accommodated for adequate heat dissipation.
