1.1 Material and Process Advantages
Conductor: high-purity oxygen-free copper (C11000, copper purity ≥99.99%), conductivity ≥58 MS/m, copper busbar surface roughness ≤0.8μm, reducing skin effect loss.
Insulation layer: adopts double-layer or multi-layer composite structure (inner layer polyimide PI film + outer layer modified epoxy resin PET film), with a withstand voltage level of 3kV/mm, partial discharge <5pC (IEC 60270 standard), ensuring signal stability in high-frequency scenarios.
Structural design: supports multi-layer stacking, interlayer gap accuracy ±0.05mm, parasitic inductance reduced to <10nH/cm (1/5 of traditional busbar), adapting to SiC MOSFET high-frequency switching requirements.

 

Laminated busbar vs. single-layer copper busbar: In-depth comparison of heat dissipation performance

 

Type High-frequency loss (10kHz) Skin effect Influence Actual test case (300A current)
Laminated busbar Reduced by 42% Multi-layer copper foil (≤0.3mm) eliminates skin effect Energy storage converter: temperature rise 38℃ (ambient 25℃)
Single-layer copper busbar Base value 100%

Solid copper busbar (≥2mm)

Loss concentrated on the surface

Same working condition: temperature rise 55℃ (ambient 25℃)
Principle: The thin copper foil (0.1-0.5mm) of the Laminated Copper BusBar makes the current evenly distributed, avoiding the surface overheating of the single-layer copper busbar due to the skin effect (skin depth ≈8.5mm@50Hz, only 0.66mm at 10kHz).

 

1.2 Production process
Copper plate laser cutting (accuracy ±0.1mm) → Pre-coating of insulation layer (vacuum environment anti-bubble) → Hot pressing composite (180℃/5MPa pressure forming) → Three-coordinate detection (dimensional error <0.2mm) → Electrical performance test (withstand voltage, insulation resistance, temperature rise).

 

1.3 Application scenarios and customer value
 

Application scenario Optimal solution Core reasons
High frequency and high power (>10kHz) Laminated busbar Low loss + temperature equalization design to avoid IGBT thermal failure
Large current and low frequency (<50Hz) Single-layer copper busbar + milling slot Low cost, sufficient single-point heat dissipation (such as traditional UPS)
Limited space + vibration environment Laminated busbar Three-dimensional heat dissipation + anti-fatigue (such as new energy vehicles)
