Copper Bus Tubes

Bus tubes are generally fabricated from high conductivity heavy wall extruded copper pipe.

Copper bus tubes.

Water cooled bus allows the designer to use less copper and reduce the overall size of the bus system as compared to air cooled bus. C102 copper is 99 95 pure copper contains essentially no oxygen. Ampacity of the bus bar selected must then be verified by checking the ampacity table. Required ampacity range bus bar dimension inches 30 c rise.
