Electrical busbars form the backbone of most power applications and provide the all-important interface between power modules and the outside world. Electrical busbars are a prime example of the latest engineering feats as they make complicated power distribution much easier, cheaper and more flexible.

Even as power applications become smaller, faster and more complex, busbars will remain the primary choice for electrical power distribution. They will also continue to evolve to meet certain requirements and criteria in the future.

In this article, we take a closer look at what electric bussing means, how an electrical busbar system works as well as the benefits and common applications.
