Advantages Of Using A Copper Laminated Busbar Expander
A laminated busbar is designed from two or more various materials including wood, aluminum or stainless steel with a protective covering such as plastic laminate. A laminated busbar usually consists of one or several short wires of copper conductive material like soft copper or laminated aluminum foil that are connected at the ends with a short, flexible length of insulation like hollow fiber or thin soft copper wire. Usually, this long strip of insulated material serves as the reinforcement between the copper conductors, providing tensile strength and electrical resistance. Such laminated busbars can be used for a variety of applications where electrical resistance is an issue.
It is the ability to withstand high voltage and extreme heat that make laminated busbar an excellent choice for supplying high voltage electrical loads in critical situations. The ability to resist corrosion at extreme temperatures makes it highly suitable for outdoor applications, especially in marine and construction work applications. The ability to resist corrosion in adverse weather conditions makes it highly suitable for outdoor use and also for the marine industry. This flexibility extends to the installation process too, as it can be easily installed over existing wiring. The ability to withstand high temperature makes it an ideal choice for the electrical power module of a generator in power plants.
Such benefits make laminated busbars highly suitable for a wide range of applications. Their wide range of applications and their electrical performance when properly designed and installed makes them an ideal choice for distribution automation, power distribution systems, and even industrial automation. They are highly flexible and can be conveniently customized to meet any specific need. A wide range of different sizes and thicknesses are available for different application requirements, ranging from single conductor to heavy duty dual conductor cable. They are available in a number of different configurations and insulation thicknesses, and they are capable of handling both heavy duty and high voltage applications. Their flexibility and ability to withstand high voltage and corrosive weather make them an excellent choice for outdoor applications.
In addition to the highly useful electrical performance features of laminated busbars, they are highly economical. A single conductor cable of a given size may cost tens of thousands of dollars, whereas a complete laminated busbar system may cost less than one hundred dollars per meter. This saving in cost of ownership makes these products economically viable for a wide range of distribution systems. They offer easy installation, flexibility, high durability, and reliability. Moreover, such systems have no significant effect on current emissions.
High Current Bus Bar Technologies The power module is an essential component of any power distribution system. It provides an efficient path for high current bus bars to the terminal. Due to its importance in the operation of the power module, several power module manufacturers have made extensive research into developing new high current bus bar technologies. To meet the increasing demand for safe and reliable high current busbars, some leading laminated busbar technologies are being developed such as the HPMB, MPMB, and PTM.
Flexible Connector Bus Bar Expansion The flexible connector bus bar expands the useful width of a power module by allowing a standard hook-up of two conductors to a maximum of four. This flexibility enables a manufacturer to install flexible busbars at a much higher density compared to standard busbars. The flexibility also enables a company to reduce installation time. Some of the manufacturers who are developing this type of laminated busbar technology are Xilite, ShoreTel, Tektronix, Avaya, and Nortel. The flexibility also offers the opportunity to adjust the height of the contact panel from thirty to fifty-five degrees, which significantly increases the usability and application.
High Current Planar Transformers These are also called primary coupled device or PCT. These are another variety of laminated busbar available with a unique design that incorporates a thin metallic layer between the primary and secondary coils. This thin metallic layer provides a considerable amount of electrical field that is in phase with the primary coil and can thus reduce the resistance that develops in a transformer due to the cross connection of the secondary coils. This helps in improving the electrical performance and it is one of the main features of the integrated together high power planar transformer and the laminated busbar.
Power Distribution The use of power distribution to meet growing requirements has increased tremendously with the introduction of the new generation efficient power distribution system. These systems are generally developed for industrial and commercial applications. However, for residential use, an efficient power distribution system which can handle power distribution demands with maximum efficiency and at minimal cost has become essential. A busbar can be used as an effective solution to the above problem and it has found immense success in meeting the electricity needs of many individuals who run their homes on alternative sources of energy. This type of flexible connector busbar provides a huge improvement over the previous ones because it has a much larger surface area and can easily serve the purpose. Moreover, the copper laminated busbar expansion is extremely flexible and can easily be installed in any space without requiring any sort of welding.
