Copper lamellar shunt (busbar)
Construction of the busbars
Ths shunts are manufactured as:
- sheets of polished copper, with a thickness of 0.10 or 0.30 mm
- 2 copper plates placed at the ends, for the connection holes
- Sections to 5,000mm²
- Possibility of insulating with different materials and heat-shrinkable sleeves
Characteristics of our shunts
We make our connexions with copper lamellar following the material:
Bare copper lamellar (Cu-ETP) following standard UNE-EN 13599
Designation | Cu-ETP |
|---|---|
Conditions Cu | Electrolytic annealing |
Grade of purity Cu | 99,9% |
Resistance to 20°C | 1,7241 μΩ.cm |
Conductivity | 58 (100% IACS) |
Load break | > 200 MPa |
Elongation | >30% |
Applications
For welding equipment, where a very large cross section is required and only moves in one direction. They are also used in electrical panels, replacing traditional cables (insulated, in this case).
