Because aluminum has good electrical conductivity and is a perfect conductor of electricity, aluminum and copper together ensure the transmission of global electricity.

Aluminum and its alloys are also widely used in the production of electronic and microelectronic components, especially capacitors. It is also used in the production of antennas, including television antennas. This metal is used in radar structures. In some countries, even power towers are made of aluminum. Aluminum strips are also widely used in transformers.

Xienuo's Aluminum in power engineering includes: 1050/1060/1070 /1350 /1370 /6060 /6082 /6101 /6063 etc.

Copper and aluminum busbar ampacity calculation formula

Single layer busbar

Current carrying capacity Id (A) of a single-layer rectangular copper busbar at 40°C: Id = (b+8.5)h In the formula, b is the busbar thickness (mm); h is the busbar width (mm)

The current carrying capacity Id (A) of a single-layer rectangular aluminum busbar at 25°C: Id = (b+8.5)h. In the formula, b is the busbar thickness (mm); h is the busbar width (mm);

aluminum busbar

The relationship between the current carrying capacity of double-layer copper busbar and single-layer busbar at 40℃

I2=(1.56~15.8)Id In the formula, I2 is the carrying capacity of the double-layer copper busbar (A);

Id is the current carrying capacity (A) of the single-layer copper busbar.

1.56~15.8 is the coefficient. Generally, 1.58 is chosen for 100×10 bus; 1.57 is chosen for 80×10, 80×8, and 1.56 is chosen for 60×6.

The relationship between the current carrying capacity of a three-layer copper busbar and a single-layer copper busbar at 40°C

I3=2Id I3 is the carrying capacity of the four-layer copper busbar (A)

The relationship between the current carrying capacity of a 4-layer copper busbar and a single-layer copper busbar at 40°C

I4=2.45Id I4 is the carrying capacity of the four-layer copper busbar (A)

(Note: 2-layer and above copper busbars refer to an air gap equal to the thickness of the busbar between the two layers of busbars.)

Conversion relationship between busbar when the ambient temperature is 40℃ and when the ambient temperature is 25℃

I40=0.85I25

I40 is the current carrying capacity of the busbar at 40℃ (A);

I25 is the current carrying capacity (A) of the busbar at 25°C.

Conversion relationship between download flow for copper busbars and aluminum busbars of the same specifications under the same ambient temperature conditions

ICu=IAl*1.3

ICu is the current carrying capacity of the copper busbar;

IAl is the current carrying capacity of the copper busbar.
