1060 Electrical Aluminum Busbar
The 1060 aluminum busbar is a conductive busbar made primarily of 1060 aluminum alloy, commonly used in power systems and electrical equipment.
The aluminum content of 1060 aluminum busbars is usually over 99.6%, which provides excellent electrical and thermal conductivity.
HC Aluminum's 1060 EC grade aluminum busbar complies with IEC 60105, ISO 209-1, 2, DIN EN 755-2, and DIN EN 755-5 standards, exhibiting good ductility, high formability, and tensile toughness, fully meeting standard processing requirements (stamping, stretching).
Advantages of 1060 Electrical Aluminum Busbar
1. Lightweight
Reduced structural load: The density of 1060 aluminum busbars is only about one-third that of copper, significantly lowering the overall weight of equipment. This is particularly important for applications that require space savings and reduced load capacity, such as in large power distribution systems and high-rise buildings, where using aluminum busbars can lessen the pressure on support structures.
2. Cost-effective
Low material cost: The market price of aluminum is generally lower than that of copper, making the use of 1060 aluminum busbars a significant cost-saving measure in large-scale applications.
3. Environmental friendliness
Recyclability: Aluminum has a high recycling rate, and 1060 aluminum busbars can be recycled and reused at the end of their lifespan, reducing resource waste and aligning with sustainable development principles.
Low energy consumption in production: The production process for aluminum typically requires less energy than that for copper, minimizing the environmental impact of manufacturing.
