Flexible Copper Busbars

Flexible Copper Busbars have a twofold utility; firstly they help with tolerance on installation allowing some movement as the Busbar system is installed. The second and primary utility is that the expansion Flexible allows for certain amount of linear expansion and contraction in the Busbar system caused by the thermal cycling as the ambient and operating temperatures rise and fall inside the tank house.
The Flexibles are made up from a number of thin high conductivity Cu- ETP copper strips consolidated into solid mass ends. This, therefore, gives the same current density as solid Busbars with an improved and lower temperature rise than the Busbar due to the increased surface area offered by laminated copper strips in each Flexible.
