Different Types Of Aluminium Bus Bar Which Are The Most Frequently Used

There are four major busbar types - Copper, Zinc, Tin and Aluminium. The aluminium busbar has high electrical resistance and low thermal conductivity. Copper busbar has higher electrical resistance and thermal conductivity. The tin and aluminum bus bars have the same physical structure but the thermal conductivity is much less than the copper busbar.


The aluminium busbar current carrying capacity (or IBC) is the amount of electricity that a busbar section can carry at one point. The busbars that are made out of aluminium are known as flat bus bars or sandwich bars. The copper busbar has high electrical resistance and low thermal conductivity, which make it a good choice for outdoor applications.


If you need to know the electrical power that a busbar section can carry at a particular point in time then you would need to know the thermal conductivity and the thermal resistance of different aluminium busbar current carrying capacity grades. The thermal resistance will decrease as the temperature increases, while the electrical resistance increases when the temperature decreases. To find this information on any given aluminium busbar, you would need to access a diagram base website. The diagram base website will provide you with a range of different graphical representations such as a chart showing the electrical power rating, the thermal rating, and the thermal conductivity of a given busbar thickness, width and length.


The thermal conductivity rating of an aluminium busbar depends on the thickness of the material that the bar is made from, which will determine the metal's ability to conduct thermal energy. If the material is thick, then the bars will be able to carry more current and this will increase their overall current carrying capacity, while if the material is thin, then the bars will not be able to carry as much current, and therefore the overall capacity will be decreased. The thermal resistance of an aluminium busbar current carrying capacity grade is determined by the thickness of the wires that are inserted into the bars and also depends on the overall thickness of the bar as well as the diameter of the hole where the wires are inserted. The higher the diameter of the hole, the greater the resistivity of the aluminium busbars.


The final type of aluminium bus bar is the copper bus bar widely used in circuit boards. The copper bus bar is used because of its pliable and ductile structure. However, unlike the aluminium bus bar, which is made of pure aluminium, copper bus bars are made from copper bars that have been rolled and wrapped. Copper has the natural ability to carry electricity, which has made it a popular component in many electronic applications. Despite this, the price of copper bus bars is considerably higher than that of aluminium ones, making them out of reach for most of the individuals, who cannot afford to buy them.


There are different types of bus bars available in the market and these include the synchronous permanent magnet bus bar, direct current bus bar and the alternating current bus bar. These three varieties are differentiated based on the number of terminals that are present in them. For synchronous permanent magnet bus bars, there are 100 terminals and they are capable of handling currents of up to 1500 amps. On the other hand, the direct current bus bars and the alternating current bus bars have two terminals and they are capable of handling currents of up to eight amperes each.
