1. Busbar

   In electric power distribution, a busbar (also bus bar) is a metallic strip or bar, typically housed inside switchgear, panel boards, and busway enclosures for local high current power distribution. They are also used to connect high voltage equipment at electrical switchyards, and low voltage equipment in battery banks. They are generally uninsulated, and have sufficient stiffness to be supported in air by insulated pillars. These features allow sufficient cooling of the conductors, and the ability to tap in at various points without creating a new joint.

1. busbar

   A busbar is a metallic strip or conductor which is housed inside switchgear, panel boards, or busway, that allows for efficient and high-capacity electrical distribution. It serves as a common connection point for multiple circuits, facilitating power supply, and is commonly used in power distribution systems. It allows for the growth and contraction during heat rise and fall conditions, and helps prevent congestion in wiring.

1. Busbar

   In electrical power distribution, a busbar is a strip or bar of copper, brass or aluminium that conducts electricity within a switchboard, distribution board, substation, battery bank or other electrical apparatus. Its main purpose is to conduct electricity, not to function as a structural member. The cross-sectional size of the busbar determines the maximum amount of current that can be safely carried. Busbars can have a cross-sectional area of as little as 10 mm² but electrical substations may use metal tubes of 50 mm in diameter or more as busbars. An aluminium smelter will have very large busbars used to carry tens of thousands of amperes to the electrochemical cells that produce aluminium from molten salts.
