Home / Function of Low-voltage switchgear connecting busbar
Inside low-voltage switchgear, busbars 1 form the main power distribution 2 backbone. They connect the main incoming supply to various protective devices like circuit breakers or fuse disconnectors. A single insulator failure can initiate a chain reaction, leading to a violent arc flash, catastrophic equipment damage, extended operational downtime. A strong electrical enclosure design is not only about metal thickness or a clean paint finish. Creating busbars generally involves machining, bending and shaping which require a high degree of expertise to avoid weakening the bars or creating stray.
