Industrial busbars
High-power busbars
800A-5000A EG-BX-E IP55
High-power busbars are capable of supporting rated current up to 5000A. They prove appropriate everywhere there is a need for powering single- and three-phase devices: in commercial and industrial facilities. EG System offers high-power busbars of the EG-BX-E type, supporting rated current within the range between 800A and 5000A. They feature a durable, sandwich-type structure as well as safe and tight housing. The conductors can be made in two ways: of aluminium or electrolytic copper (copper purity is up to 99.9%).
Therefore, power transmission losses are minimal. The insulation is made of self-extinguishing material resistant to high temperatures.
The application of special connectors make joining subsequent busbars a rapid and safe process. It all makes high-power busbars achieve high values of short-circuit withstand currents and relatively low unit reactance.

About busbars
A busbar (or current busbar, according to previous nomenclature) is an element that serves the purpose of conducting electrical current, which allows supplying power to single- and three-phase devices by means of a single line. They are usually made in a sandwich-type structure, with low impedance values. Therefore, they guarantee low power transmission losses. Busbars can be made either of aluminium or copper. Busbars are most frequently fixed to structural elements of buildings by means of steel suspensions.
A busbar is an element that is ever more frequently used in industrial systems due to the safety and durability it provides to the entire structure. Our busbar manufacturing technology allows producing devices boasting high parameters, meeting the expectations of the most demanding customers. Their advantages also include small external dimensions and low unit weight.
