This is the latest in
our series of blogs explaining some of the terminology used in our industry. Today’s
question is: what is a busbar?
A busbar (sometimes written as ‘bus bar’) is a strip of
copper, brass or aluminium within a control panel. Its function is not
structural, though - it is used to conduct electricity. Busbars are capable of
carrying a very high current and are usually used to make a common connection
between several circuits in a control panel.
The ‘bus’ part of the term is derived from a contraction of
the Latin ‘omnibus’, meaning ‘for all’.
