Did you know? Why are copper busbars bent, drilled, and cut with such precision?
Copper busbars ensure the flow of current within electrical panels. Their precision machining guarantees performance, safety, and reliability in all industrial installations.
In any industrial facility, copper busbars play a key role in distributing power within electrical panels. Like the system’s arteries, they ensure the reliable and safe transport of current to various equipment.
Used instead of cables for high currents, these bars — also known as busbar systems — are cut, drilled, and bent with great precision. These operations are crucial: they ensure the proper functioning, durability, and safety of the installation.
In practice, these machining processes allow to:
- Adapt the shape of the bars to the cabinet constraints and wiring paths;
- Ensure reliable connections thanks to precise drilling for screws and fasteners;
- Limit losses and overheating by maintaining a constant cross-section and a clean finish;
- Comply with insulation distances required by electrical standards;
- Prepare for future integration of additional components into the panel.
Why such precision? Because a simple bending defect or a poorly positioned hole can cause poor heat dissipation, faulty contact points, or even short-circuit risks. Millimetric accuracy is therefore essential.
At Belgotech, every copper bar is custom machined in our workshop using specialized equipment: CNC benders, precision drills, and cutting machines. Our technicians follow a strict process to ensure reliable connections and perfect integration into electrical panels.
We adapt our busbar systems to every environment: high intensities, limited space, corrosive atmospheres, specific standards (IEC 61439, etc.). Our goal: to deliver robust, high-performance, and scalable panels built to last.
