Structural characteristics and low heat principle of Laminated BusBars

 

Laminated Copper BusBar, also known as laminated busbar, is composed of multiple layers of conductive copper foil or aluminum foil alternately stacked with insulation material, and formed into an integrated structure through high temperature and high pressure molding. It is optimized from the source of heat generation and has significant temperature control advantages. In terms of low resistance design, the Laminated BusBar for Mersen adopts a multi-layer conductor parallel structure, effectively increasing the conductive cross-sectional area and significantly reducing DC resistance and Joule loss; At the same time, the thickness of each layer of conductor is controlled within the skin depth to make the current distribution more uniform and suppress local overheating at high frequencies. In terms of low inductance characteristics, the Laminated Flexible BusBar tightly overlaps the positive and negative busbars, allowing the current and magnetic fields to cancel each other out. The distributed inductance is only 1/10~1/100 of the traditional scheme, effectively reducing reactive power loss and switching loss, and indirectly reducing heat generation. In terms of efficient heat dissipation, the flat structure of the Laminated Copper Bar has a larger surface area and much better heat dissipation conditions than circular cables. It can directly adhere to the heat dissipation structure to achieve rapid heat conduction and maintain the overall temperature rise at a lower level.

Design and Process Requirements for Laminated Bus Bar for Spacecraft Power Inverter


Reliable design and manufacturing processes are important guarantees for the Laminated Bus Bar for Mounting Structure of Capacity Bank to achieve low heat generation and high stability operation. High conductivity oxygen free copper is usually used as the conductor in materials, combined with high temperature resistant and high insulation performance dielectric materials to ensure safe conductivity and insulation. The process adopts vacuum bonding technology to eliminate interlayer bubbles and gaps, reduce interface thermal resistance, and avoid the risk of partial discharge and overheating. At the same time, customized design needs to be carried out based on actual current, voltage, space, and heat dissipation conditions, reasonably determining the number of layers, thickness, and external structure of Laminated Busbar Design to ensure current balance, sufficient heat dissipation, and installation adaptability.
