Copper Components

Standby power installations often involve high current ratings, restricted space and equipment that must remain serviceable over many years. A connection may look simple on a drawing, but once it is inside a generator enclosure or power room, tolerance, vibration, heat and access all become critical issues.

Tranect can support both new build and replacement projects with:

Generator and UPS Connections

We supply high-current copper connections for use between generators, busbars, transformers, switchgear, isolators, circuit breakers, ACBs, MCCBs and UPS systems.

Where rigid copper busbars are not suitable, flexible copper braid or laminated busbars can be used to accommodate vibration, thermal expansion, alignment tolerances and restricted installation space.

Typical applications include:

  • Generator output connections
  • Busbar to generator connections
  • UPS power connections
  • Transformer to switchgear links
  • Busduct connections
  • Control panel power links
  • Switchboard and panel board busbars
  • Earthing and bonding connections

Designed for Practical Installation

Our engineers can help with conductor sizing, current rating, temperature rise, hole patterns, insulation, plating and mechanical layout. We use 3D CAD modelling to support design and manufacture, helping ensure the final part fits the equipment without needing expensive onsite modification.

We can supply parts made from Copper or Aluminium and can also supply bimetallic copper / aluminium plates to connect between aluminium and copper components, avoiding galvanic corrosion issues.

Earthing and Bonding for Standby Power

Effective earthing is essential in standby power generation systems. Tranect manufactures earth straps, earth bonds and earth bars to provide reliable fault current paths and bonding between equipment, enclosures and structures.

Copper braid earth straps offer flexibility, conductivity and ease of installation, making them suitable for generator sets, power distribution equipment, control panels and building services installations.
