Laminated Busbar Fabrication

Storm Copper’s Laminated Busbars offer many advantages when compared to conventional electrical connecters using cables or cable assemblies. Storm's laminated bus bar consists of flat conductors separated by layers of insulation, a design that enables numerous electrical connectors to be combined into a more efficient bus bar configuration used as an alternative to traditional bus systems.

Storm also goes the extra mile to meet the laminated busbar needs of OEM customers from industries, including: Telecom, Power Generation, Electromechanical Motor Controls, as well as Aerospace and Military.

		Storm fabricates laminated busbar to meet a wide range of applications... • Custom Power Distribution Assemblies • Multi-Layer Laminated Copper Connectors • Multi-Layer Bus Bars From design to execution, Storm does its best to engineer laminated bus bar with a smaller profile design and a minimal number of interconnections. Plus all parts are clearly marked for fast, efficient installation.

Laminated Bus Bar Advantages

Storm's Laminated Busbars are easily fitted with a wide range of electrical connectors. Their increased rigidity provides a stable platform for use as a base for additional components including connectors, capacitors, diodes, resistors, IGBTs and circuit breakers. Captive mounting hardware and labeled connection points eliminates wiring errors, while increasing the ease of installation by reducing the number of parts to install.

Other laminated busbar benefits include: • Consistent performance from part to part • Lower inductance or reduced electrical noise • Higher current-carrying capacity • Improved thermal characteristics • Less voltage drop • Reduced shock hazard • Reduced electrical noise • Distributed capacitance
