This method uses rivets to join busbars by creating holes in the bars and securing them together. Busbars are the unsung heroes of electrical panels, ensuring reliable power distribution and minimizing clutter. Research estimates that the market for copper busbar power panels in North America alone will grow by nearly 7. Here, we provide an overview of common substation busbar configurations—Single Bus, Main and Transfer, Double Breaker/Double Bus, Ring Bus/Ring Main, and Breaker and a Half. This process, called "jointing," may be needed to create a longer busbar from shorter, more manageable pieces; or to create a T-shaped tap-off connection from the main busbar. Consequently, the optimal overlap length in a bolted joint should be 5–7 times the busbar thickness.
