Busbars

Brüning Technische Coatings B.V. is a specialist in the field of coating bus bars.

Busbars

Busbars are tension rails to conduct very powerful electrical currents locally.
Usually these are made of corrosion-resistant copper, brass or aluminum in solid or hollow construction.
These may then have undergone post-treatment in which tin or nickel is applied.
They are produced in a variety of forms, including flat strips, solid bars and rods.

Bus bars are increasingly common and are now indispensable components.
Often these are the connections between battery packs.
Think of electric scooters or cars but also switch boxes.
With these types of components, it is important that the contact surfaces are not coated.
These flat are often at the ends of the strip, rod or bar, but they can also be in the middle of the strip.

Insulation

The main purpose of the coating is to insulate the bus bars and make them touch-safe.
A variety of coatings can be used for this purpose.
Examples are: Resicoat and Rilsan.
The choice of the specific coating also depends on the use, moving or fixed, but also how high the dielectric strength, the breakdown voltage, should be.
To achieve the required dielectric strength, the layer thickness is one of the decisive parameters.
