ETP Bus Bar

Farmer’s Copper Ltd. maintains an extensive inventory of C11000 (ETP) Electrolytic Tough Pitch copper full round edge and square edge copper bus bar. Copper C110 has become the industry standard for electrical conductivity. Copper 110’s high thermal conductivity enables the copper to dissipate heat generated in the transmission of electricity.

Typical Applications for bus bar

  • Transformers, Switchgears
  • Connectors, Terminals
  • Electrical Breaker boxes

Farmer’s Copper can provide the copper bus bar tin-plated or silver flashed. To compliment our bus bar we cuts GP03 (Glastic) and GP010 to your specifications on our CNC routers. Our custom finished parts division, we are able to provide your bus bar, with holes drilled, slotted, bent and plated to your requirements. Contact our knowledgeable sales staff today to help you with your bus bar needs.
