In the electrical industry, busbars play a crucial role in distributing power efficiently and safely. Aluminium busbars, in particular, have gained popularity due to their high conductivity, corrosion resistance, and cost-effectiveness. However, working with aluminium busbars requires careful consideration of their thermal properties, especially when dealing with high-current applications. This handbook aims to provide a comprehensive guide for engineers, designers, and technicians working with aluminium busbars, focusing on hot (high-temperature) applications.
Aluminium busbars offer many advantages for electrical distribution systems, but their use in high-temperature applications requires careful consideration of their thermal properties. By following the guidelines and best practices outlined in this handbook, engineers, designers, and technicians can ensure the safe and reliable operation of hot aluminium busbars.
