Reducing the weight of busbars while maintaining ampacity (the ability to carry current) can be challenging, especially for applications where weight is a critical factor, such as aerospace, automotive, etc. Some of the key considerations for reducing busbar weight include:  Material Selection: Choose high-conductivity materials like aluminum or copper alloys that offer therequired ampacity but… View Article

Joining together multiple busbar segments is often a requirement for creating complex, unified busbar designs. In some cases, it may be necessary to create a longer busbar out of short segments or to incorporate T-segments into the design. Also adding bushings for mounting, insulation and/or mechanical strength are key factors for many busbar designs. This… View Article
