Power supply for challenging environments
Flexible busbars are electrical conductors that offer individual connection options for safe current flow. Our flexible busbars are made from highly conductive materials such as copper lamellae or copper braiding and are available in customer-specific cross-sections.
Unlike solid busbars, flexible busbars are easier to install in confined spaces and around corners, making them a space-saving and reliable solution for power distribution in industrial applications. They also offer greater safety, as they are generally wear-, abrasion-, and fire-resistant.
Simplified power distribution with flexible busbars
Benefits of flexible busbars
Flexible busbars offer several advantages in terms of optimizing available space and improving safety in power distribution systems. First, their flexible design allows for easy installation in confined spaces, reducing the need for additional components and minimizing the overall size of the system.
In addition, flexible busbars are made of conductive materials that are wear-, abrasion-, and fire-resistant. This minimizes the risk of electrical fires, short circuits, and other hazards, providing a higher level of safety for employees and equipment.
Highly flexible busbars from EMS
The three most common highly flexible busbars are Braided Flexible Busbars, Ultraflexx®, and Earth Braids.
Although they are all made of individual wires, there are significant differences in material, cross-sections, connections, insulation, and thus areas of application.
In addition to the standard range from SPS, we also engineer customized flexible busbars – we would be happy to advise you!
Flexible application options
Power supply: Used in electrical transmission grids to transfer electricity from a source to a consumer.
E-mobility: Used to supply power to electric motors and other electrical components in motor vehicles, ships, boats, railways, and aviation.
Renewable energies: Used in photovoltaic systems, hydroelectric power plants, and geothermal power plants to distribute the electricity generated, and in wind turbines to transmit the electricity generated from the rotors to the power distribution system.
Switchgear: Used in electrical systems to distribute electricity and monitor electrical systems.
FAQ's
Frequently asked questions about flexible busbars
Flexible busbars are electrical conductors that have a flexible and malleable structure. They are used in electrical systems to enable safe and easy transmission of electricity, especially in hard-to-reach places or when moving equipment or machinery.
Flexible busbars are usually attached to machines, devices, or walls using clamps or screws. They can be mounted in straight or curved shapes, depending on requirements.
-
EMS manufactures and engineers flexible busbars made of lamellas such as:
And highly flexible busbars made of braided round and flat strands such as:
Flexible busbars offer greater freedom of movement and are easier to install than fixed busbars. They can also be better adapted to the environment and require less installation space. In addition, they are often lighter and less expensive than solid busbars.
There are certainly flexible busbars that are suitable for high currents. However, it is important that the busbars meet the requirements of the electrical installation and that the maximum current is not exceeded. We will be happy to advise you.
