Application Scenarios
1. Ground Bar for Electrical Panel
Standard in switchgear and panelboards, ground bars ensure low-resistance fault current return paths and equipotential grounding. Compatible with copper/aluminum conductors.
2. Data Centers & Telecom
Isolated grounding copper bus bars ensure minimal interference in -48V DC telecom systems and server racks. EMI/RFI protection meets telecom-grade requirements.
3. Renewable Energy Systems
Used in PV combiner boxes and wind turbine grounding, especially in harsh outdoor environments where anodized aluminum busbars offer excellent corrosion resistance.
4. Industrial Power Plants
Large-format copper bus bars (4" × 1/4") serve heavy machinery grounding, following NFPA 70 for impedance control and safety compliance.
5. Railway & Transportation Systems
Tin-plated copper ground bars with anti-vibration clamps are essential in railway substations and electric locomotive grounding systems.
Routine Inspections: Quarterly checks for corrosion, thermal hotspots, and torque loosening
Resistance Testing: Annual <0.5Ω continuity and >1MΩ insulation resistance
Cleaning Methods: 5% citric acid for oxidation; conductive grease for long-term performance
Replacement Criteria: ≥10% material loss or ≥30°C thermal hotspot deviation
