Busbars are metallic strips or bars, typically made of copper or aluminum, used to conduct electricity within a switchboard, distribution board, or other electrical apparatus. They serve as central points where incoming power is distributed to multiple outgoing circuits, allowing for the efficient transfer of large currents with minimal energy loss. Busbars are integral in electrical distribution systems, offering a flexible and organized way to manage electrical power in both low and high-voltage applications, while also improving safety and reducing the risk of electrical faults.
