Electrical Busbars: Function, Types, Design & Selection

Electrical busbars are solid conductors used to carry and distribute high current in switchgear, panels, substations, and power systems. This guide explains how busbars work,

Busbar

In electric power distribution, a busbar (also bus bar) is a metallic strip or bar, typically housed inside switchgear, panel boards, and busway enclosures for local high current power distribution, transmission, or switching substations. They are also used to connect high voltage equipment at electrical switchyards, and low-voltage equipment in battery banks. They are generally uninsulated, and have sufficient stiffness to be s
