Possible applications

Aluminum with a high purity has excellent electrical properties. 

Therefore, Aluminum Busbars is used both as a conductor of electricity and to optimise heat transfer at contact surfaces. Pure aluminum produces a closed aluminum oxide layer (Al203) under given environmental conditions. This property makes aluminum very corrosion resistant.

Special features of Aluminum Busbars

As an alternative to Copper Busbars, it is also possible to use aluminum as a conductor. Aluminum busbars have the advantage over copper that they are much lighter. 

The assembly and handling of Aluminum Busbars is very easy due to their low weight. However, a low density also means that the cross-section must be significantly larger than copper for the same amount of current.

The silvery, light metal is ideally suited for all non-cutting manufacturing processes. Aluminum corrodes within a short time. For this reason, thorough pre-treatment is important!

Cost saving

Good price-performance ratio.

TOP!

Light busbars

Due to the low density of the aluminium.

Corrosion-resistant

Through a closed oxide layer.
