Busbars for electricity
In a world that is becoming increasingly dominated by electricity, grid stability is of crucial importance. Grid fluctuations caused by various factors such as the increase in renewable energies, industrial load fluctuations or sudden changes in consumption can affect the stability of the power supply. Busbars are playing an increasingly important role in minimizing the effects of grid fluctuations and ensuring a reliable power supply.

Caution with mains voltage fluctuations
Extreme power fluctuations can endanger the stability of the power grid. Since many processes are digitally recorded and processed these days, this can lead to the total failure of important processes. Particularly in critical applications such as hospitals, where a stable power supply is essential, power fluctuations can have a number of negative effects. Here, in particular, a stable power supply is vital to keep important medical equipment running. But data centers also require an uninterruptible power supply. Unstable networks can lead to data loss and downtime here. In industrial plants, power fluctuations can result in expensive production stoppages and damage sensitive electronic devices or shorten their lifespan.
Busbars as solutions
To compensate for these grid fluctuations and to ensure a reliable power supply in the long term, our grids will have to be massively expanded in the coming years. The use of busbars and system solutions can help to minimize the effects of grid fluctuations in the long term. This is because they have a lower impedance than cables and can reduce voltage drops in order to better stabilize voltage fluctuations. In addition, busbars can carry high currents and are therefore ideal for use in systems with high load changes. With the right choice of materials, busbars are robust, durable, and protected against the effects of grid fluctuations. In addition, the right design enables more efficient heat dissipation and reduces the effects of overheating due to grid fluctuations.
Highly flexible High-Current Busbars
- Flexible & robust
- Round strands & flat wire mesh
Braided Flexible Busbars are highly flexible busbars and are used as moving elements in switchgear and equipment construction. They are made of thin, machine-woven individual wires with solid connectors and are both flexible and robust.
Braided Flexible Busbars allow the transmission of high currents between vibrating components and compensate for three-dimensional movements. In particular, round stranded conductors allow a high degree of flexibility in all directions of movement.
Engineered for high utilization
- Low impedance & high ampacity
- Robust construction & modular systems
When high currents are needed, our IndustryBars are often used. These high-performance busbars (PowerBars or Busducts) are manufactured from highly conductive materials such as copper Cu-ETP or Aluminum according to your specifications. Our modular busbar systems, such as Vision®Bar, allow systems to be divided into sections. They ensure that the power supply is maintained even if individual sections fail.
Busbars in decentralized container solutions
Battery containers for emergency power supply are used as emergency power systems (EPS) to supply critical consumers with power in the event of a power outage or a temporary overload on the power grid. With comparatively little structural effort, systems in difficult locations can also be reliably supplied. Battery containers usually contain not only the battery racks and accumulators but also the complete control technology such as transformers, inverters in solar systems, rectifiers in charging stations or grid stabilizers. In combination with decentralized energy generators such as solar, wind or even hydropower, they typically serve as a self-sufficient energy solution. Our busbars are used in battery containers as electrical components in power distribution systems to transport electrical energy from a source to various consumers.
Battery containers can also be used as grid balancers in smart energy grids. They store excess energy from renewable sources and feed it back into the grid when needed.
Due to the modular design of containers and the ease of installation and commissioning that this offers, they are often used in remote locations. If you are planning a project like this, we would be happy to support you in the engineering and manufacturing of reliable busbar solutions for all types of supply equipment.
Power-to-gas (PtG) is a process in which excess electrical energy is converted into hydrogen or methane. This can be stored or used as an energy source for various applications. In a PtG plant, electrical components such as control cabinets, transformers, rectifiers, and electrolyzers are used for this conversion process. Busbars are used to connect these components and establish the necessary electrical connections.
To ensure a stable and sustainable power supply, battery containers can be used in combination with other energy sources such as solar or wind energy and can thus also be used as a hybrid power supply.
