Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of T-type vertical busbar connection devices, and in particular to a T-type vertical busbar connection device. Background Technology
[0002] Vertical busbars are a crucial component of low-voltage switchgear, distributing electrical energy from the main busbar to the various outgoing switchgear to ensure reliable power supply to the system. The performance of a busbar is primarily evaluated by its current-carrying capacity, heat dissipation, and structural layout. Traditional low-voltage switchgear vertical busbars typically employ a rectangular copper busbar structure. This structure suffers from drawbacks such as large space requirements, poor heat dissipation, and a lack of advanced technology. Increased conductor temperature leads to a decrease in current-carrying capacity, and given the skin effect of current, arranging conductors with a large heat dissipation area within a limited space is critical. We have developed a non-standard vertical busbar structure that addresses this problem. Utility Model Content
