The purpose of this document is to detail the requirements of Northern Powergrid in relation to the tubular busbar systems and associated fittings detailed within this document. This document supersedes the following documents, all copies of which should be destroyed. ScopeBuilding a busbar involves selecting appropriate conductive material (typically copper or aluminum), cutting and forming to required dimensions, drilling connection points, applying surface treatments, adding insulation, and testing for electrical performance. Each step requires strict adherence to. Often overlooked as a power distribution option in industrial control panels, busbars offer an impressive combination of cost-effectiveness, safety, space savings and adaptability. By: Klaus Tum – Product Director at Altech Corp. ) can be manufactured into the conductors. An alternative ground plane may be added as support for the bus bar assembly and to provide a platform for mounting hardware. Aluminium tubular busbars are made from high-purity aluminium or its alloys (e.
