Bus Bar

Whether it’s carrying the high current necessary to power heavy equipment, rail, and subway cars—or reducing weight and enhancing packaging efficiency for the latest aircraft and hybrid vehicles—Mersen laminated bus bars bring unique advantages to the transportation industry that are not available with traditional wiring or single conductor bars.
A properly engineered laminated bus bar provides the lowest overall system inductance and the most balanced and distributed capacitance, making it the perfect match for the high demands of the transportation equipment industry. Mersen laminated bus bars help transportation equipment manufacturers achieve their reliability goals.

Uncompromising performance and reliability are a must for defense and aerospace systems. That is why laminated bus bars designed by Mersen are commonplace in a wide range of defense applications, including missile guidance equipment, phase-array radar systems, sonar and radar tracking stations, airborne equipment, tanks, submarines, and numerous space programs.

Mersen’s laminated bus bars offer other advantages for defense use, too. Their superior electrical characteristics help defense systems achieve maximum electrical performance and efficiency. Laminated bus bars are also known to provide the most compact means of packaging, achieving the highest overall system performance where physical space is a premium.

Since bus bars can be engineered to double as a structural support member, they contribute to system strength and rigidity at the same time. If that’s not enough, Mersen’s laminated bus bars simplify field service too, which makes it easier to keep mission critical equipment up and running.
