    The Application For Cu-Al Transition Busbar

    1. Internal Conductor Connection of High-Voltage Switches

    Copper-aluminum connection between circuit breakers and busbars (such as transition connection from copper terminals of vacuum circuit breakers to aluminum busbars). Connection of incoming and outgoing terminals of disconnectors and load switches (taking into account the material differences between switch components and the aluminum busbars of cabinets). Transition of connection terminals for transformers, lightning arresters, etc. (to avoid increased contact resistance caused by direct contact of different materials).

    2. Connection of High-Voltage Switch Cabinets with External Equipment

    Terminal connection of aluminum busbars of switch cabinets with external copper cables. Connection of copper-aluminum busbars when multiple switch cabinets operate in parallel. Cross-material wiring between high-voltage switches and transformers, reactors, etc.

    3. Special Scenarios for Adaptation

    Copper-aluminum transition for outdoor high-voltage switchgear (resistant to corrosion in harsh environments). Copper-aluminum connection for high-voltage switches in new energy power stations (photovoltaic / wind power) adapted for high current, high-frequency start-stop scenarios. Switching connections for high-voltage power distribution systems in rail transit, industrial and mining enterprises (able to withstand impact currents).
