    35kV copper busbar of substation

    The two copper grades specified most commonly for substation bus bar work are C11000 (Electrolytic Tough Pitch, or ETP) and C10200 (Oxygen-Free Electronic, or OFE). The distinction is not marginal. A busbar system is a metallic strip or bar that conducts electricity within a substation. It interconnects various components such as The choice of busbar material, dimensions, and configuration significantly impacts the substation's performance. Used in small substations. Here, we provide an overview of common substation busbar configurations—Single Bus, Main and Transfer, Double Breaker/Double Bus, Ring Bus/Ring Main, and Breaker and a Half. Designing a substation involves not only the visible equipment and ratings but also the less apparent factors—operational. Copper bus bar remains the material of choice for high-current, indoor, and expansion applications in substations, but not all copper is interchangeable.
