900 A - 1200 A Cable, busbars Busbars
Handling the contact surfaces of busbar connections:
All contact surfaces must be clean and may not be damaged.
• Busbars manufactured out of Cu, Al, Al-Mg-Si:
The contact surfaces should be bare metal (e.g. use a file brush, abrasive stone). Use separate brushes for Cu and Al,
mark appropriately.
Immediately apply acid-free Vaseline (for example, Shell 8422) to aluminum busbars. Apply the appropriate grease to
the contact points of the Al busbars approx. 10 mm beyond the contact surface.
Do not apply grease to copper busbars.
• Nickel-plated copper busbars:
Wipe the contact surfaces with a clean, dry cloth. If the nickel-plated surfaces are slightly oxidized, then remove these
oxide layers before bolting. It is not permissible to use a steel brush or similar.
Note:
The clearances required between the power connections (12.7 mm / 1/2 ") must not be fallen below. Otherwise, insulating
elements must be inserted.
