4000 amp 11 kV Transformer connections using flexible copper busbars

Tranect Ltd recently supplied RWE Energy with 4000 amp 11 kV transformer connections, designed and manufactured using flexible laminated copper busbars to meet both electrical and installation constraints on site. This project demonstrates Tranect’s capability in delivering high-current transformer connections where alignment tolerances, thermal expansion and installation access must be carefully managed alongside current-carrying performance....

Custom formed copper busbars

Tranect manufactures precision laser cut and press-brake formed copper busbars, enabling complex multi-plane geometries from a single continuous conductor. Formed copper busbars are flat copper conductors that are laser cut and then bent across multiple planes to create a three-dimensional shape. Unlike traditional straight busbars or multi-part assemblies, a formed busbar achieves complex routing in...

2200mm2 Power shunt for Welding Machine

We were asked to manufacture a special 2200mm2 copper braid Power Shunt for a Welding Machine, where very large currents are used at low voltage. The welding machine required that the power shunt rotate 90 degrees, which we achieved by stepping the length of each braid to form a natural bend. Please contact us for...

1600 amp MCCB to Busduct Flexible Busbar

Our customer requested our assistance in the design and manufacture of flexible busbar from 1600 amp MCCB to busduct. There were two busduct feeds, which required horizontal busbars to link the busduct terminals. The busduct was not lined up with the MCCB, a common issue on construction projects. We designed MCCB spreader bars to align...
