Copper Busbars: This type of busbar is generally used for high-current applications due to its excellent electrical conductivity. Typically found inside industrial switchgear and control panels, busway enclosures and larger panel boards. They can also be used to connect high-voltage equipment.

This image highlights what a busbar looks like in a manufacturing setting, where flexible power distribution is essential. Work stations and machinery moves, and the electrical source should be flexible enough to follow. Monitoring solutions used in busbar systems provide seamless data from a brief overview down to the individual outlet level. Power usage data can be accessed locally or remotely allowing you to make purposeful energy efficient decisions.

You also need to be able to identify energy consumption peaks and lows, and determine how they relate to operations or key internal and external events such as marketing campaigns, accounting cycles, or changing weather patterns to enable you to adequately plan for these events. Analysts continue to rank energy efficiency as a top concern of industrial organizations and corporate teams. However, the truth is, you simply can’t improve something, especially energy efficiency, if you’re not measuring it. There are some geographical areas that we are unable to offer next day delivery as standard, such as the Scottish Highlands. We are unable to guarantee next day delivery to the following post codes AB31, AB33-38, AB44-56, IV, HS, KA27-28, KW, PA20-88, PH17-26, PH30-44, PH49-50, TR21-25 and ZE.

Some busbars offer power monitoring. The Starline Critical Power Monitor (CPM) is one solution. This monitoring solution can be used as a standalone system mounted to electrical panels, or can also be incorporated into busway end feeds and branch-circuit applications to measure the amount of power being drawn.

Ability to measure power, power factor, frequency, Volt Amperes, Watt hours, Volts (each phase), current (each phase) current (neutral), reactive power, and temperature. Calculates minimum and maximum values for power, Volts, and current.
