Features
High Power: Copper ensures exceptional electrical conductivity, minimising resistive power losses for optimal current flow.
Flexibility: The laminated construction allows for movement and accommodation of misalignment, critical in applications where vibration or thermal expansion is a concern.
Customisation: Laminated shunts can be tailored to specific shapes, sizes, and current ratings to meet diverse application needs.
Durability: The robust construction offers excellent mechanical strength and can withstand harsh environments.
Standard Options
Cu-ETP (CW004A) EN 13599 R290 layers: For dynamic applications with riveted, press tinned or press welded terminals
Cu-HCP ( CW021A) EN 13599 R220 layers: For expansion and compensation applications with press welded and MIG welded terminals
Cu-ETP (CW004A) EN 13599 R220 layers: For expansion and compensation applications with riveted or press-tinned terminals
EN AW 1050A aluminium shunts on demand
Applications
Transformer-to-Grid Connections: Traditional rigid bus bars used for transformer connections can be susceptible to fatigue and breakage due to vibrations. Laminated shunts provide a more forgiving alternative, absorbing movement and mitigating stress on connection points.
Welding Machines: Welding processes generate high currents in short bursts. Laminated shunts effectively conduct these currents while offering the flexibility needed for manipulating welding guns and tooling.
Vacuum Switches: Used for high-voltage circuit interruption as in vacuum switches.
Power Distribution in Vibrating Areas: Environments prone to vibration, such as on moving industrial machinery robotics.
