Busbar supports are components designed to securely hold busbar conductors in place while providing both mechanical strength and electrical insulation within a power distribution system.
One of their most important functions is to help an assembly withstand the significant electromechanical forces generated during a short-circuit fault. By maintaining the position and spacing of the conductors, busbar supports minimise movement, reduce the risk of damage to equipment and help ensure the continued safety and integrity of the installation.
Busbar supports are manufactured from electrically insulating materials and are available in a wide range of sizes, configurations and mounting styles to suit different busbar dimensions, current ratings and application requirements.
