Advantages of Aluminum Busbars
The high electrical conductivity coefficient of aluminum does not exceed 0.029 Ohm which puts it under the category of electrical metals.
Moreover, busbars made of aluminum have a low weight, high resistance to corrosion, temperature changes and are valued for their durability and low water permeability.
Aluminum is a lightweight (lighter than copper) non-toxic metal with excellent mechanical and anti-corrosion properties, it is favorably distinguished by resistance to negative external conditions and durability. In industry, aluminum alloys with the addition of copper, manganese, zinc, magnesium, and silicon are used for the production of various items, in particular, busbars, which are widely used in various sectors of the national economy.
Applications
Busbars constitute the “backbone” of every voltage switchgear. These products are used in the energy sector, mechanical engineering, and construction, in particular. Due to the plasticity of this metal and its paramagnetic properties, busbars and other aluminum electronics parts are used in switchgear panels, processors, circuits, and various other apparatus. Every home electrical panel has busbars to distribute ac power to the rows of circuit breakers. The busbars form the structure that the circuit breakers can clip into.
Most often they are used in bus ducts - high voltage current conductors with a substantial current of electricity (the current in bus ducts can reach 250-630 A, and the voltage - several thousand volts). Busbars are indeed created to withstand electromechanical stress.
Basically, busbars are aluminum strips - they are versatile products that are widely used. Products from aluminum alloys 6060 and 6063 are indispensable for the installation and decoration of ceiling systems, partitions, panel and glazed facades, and outdoor advertising structures. Thanks to high strength they can also act as the sealing of joints and ducts, increasing the protection against dust and dirt penetration.
Why Choose Our Aluminum Busbars
We, at BK-ALPROF, produce custom busbars of aluminum alloys 6060 and 6063 which are perfect for extrusions. Distinctive qualities of aluminum products - the price of which varies depending on the brand and volume of the product - are extraordinary durability (a 100x10 busbar will easily last up to 25 years), high strength, excellent thermal conductivity, non-magnetic, serious electrical conductivity, and non-toxicity.
The low weight of the product, as well as the low price of aluminum busbars, make it the most optimal choice for the manufacture of conductors, as well as other elements that are used in electronics.
Considering the excellent qualities possessed by extruded aluminum, products made of this material serve well in the construction industry, as they do not lose their properties during sudden temperature changes or when exposed to the external environment.
