Busbars

What is a busbar bridge?

Busbar bridges are a crucial component of high-current electricity distribution and energy transfer. They are used as efficient power pathways in industrial settings, in the riser and transfer networks of properties, and for feeding smaller busbar systems. Typically, busbar bridges are utilized in critical connections, such as between transformers and main switchboards, and for transfers between switchboards.

In our selection, you will find high-quality busbar bridges for every need:

• Domestic MJ Busbar Bridges: These robust and reliable busbar bridges represent top-tier Finnish expertise. They are excellently suited for high current loads and demanding applications.
• Italian Compact Busbar Bridges: These low-impedance "sandwich" structured busbar bridges are known for their small magnetic field, ease of installation, and scalability. They are an efficient and economical choice for many applications.

Key benefits of busbar bridges:

Busbar bridges offer a modern and superior solution compared to traditional cabling, bringing numerous advantages:

• Compactness and Space Saving: Busbar bridges have a clearer structure and occupy significantly less space than bulky cable bundles. They make installations neater and simplify design.
• Flexibility and Adaptability: Tap-off units can be connected and moved quickly and safely on busbars, often even when the system is live. This minimizes interruptions and allows for easy expandability in the future.
• Excellent Safety: Busbar bridges are a fire-safe alternative, as they have a lower fire load, and any plastic components are designed to be self-extinguishing without hazardous smoke. They withstand thermal loads better than cables and are reliable for both personnel and equipment. The reduced need for power outages improves operational reliability.
• Efficiency and Speed of Installation: Thanks to a high degree of prefabrication, the installation process for busbar bridges is significantly faster and more efficient, shortening project lead times and reducing overall costs.
• Long Lifespan and Maintenance-Free: A busbar bridge is a durable and long-lasting solution that requires minimal maintenance, lowering lifetime costs.

Busbar bridges are widely used wherever reliable and high-current power distribution is required:

• Industrial plants and production facilities
• Main switchboards and vertical risers in properties (e.g., in apartment buildings)
• Transformer-to-main switchboard connections
• Transfers between switchboards
• Data centers and hospitals
• Feeds for large electric vehicle charging stations
• Temporary power distribution on construction sites
