1050 aluminum flat bar busbar
1050 aluminum busbars (aluminum flat bars) are a type of high-purity aluminum alloy, typically containing at least 99.5% aluminum, classified as EC-grade aluminum (electrical conductivity grade aluminum). These aluminum busbars are widely used in electrical distribution systems, primarily as electrical conductors.
1050 aluminum busbars are an essential material in the electrical distribution industry, thanks to their high conductivity, corrosion resistance, lightweight, and cost-effectiveness, making them suitable for various applications and effectively meeting the demands of modern power transmission.
Characteristics of 1050 Aluminum Flat Bar Busbars
High Conductivity: 1050 aluminum busbars have an excellent conductivity of approximately 62% IACS (International Annealed Copper Standard), making them outstanding in power transmission.
Excellent Corrosion Resistance: Due to the characteristics of high-purity aluminum, 1050 aluminum busbars have strong resistance to oxidation and corrosion, making them suitable for use in various environments.
Lightweight: Aluminum has a low density, so 1050 aluminum busbars are much lighter than copper busbars of the same size, facilitating transportation and installation.
Heat Dissipation Capability: Aluminum busbars can effectively dissipate heat, reducing the risk of overheating and enhancing system safety and reliability.
Cost-Effectiveness: Compared to copper and other metals, 1050 aluminum busbars have a lower material cost, making them an economical choice for electrical applications.
Thermal Conductivity: Aluminum has good thermal conductivity, allowing for rapid heat dissipation, reducing the thermal load on electrical equipment, and extending its lifespan.
