C11000 Copper Busbar & Copper Bar

Electrolytic tough pitch copper to ASTM B187 / EN 13601

C11000 Copper Busbar & Copper Bar

C11000, also written Cu-ETP or T2, is 99.9 % pure electrolytic copper with a minimum conductivity of 100 % IACS. It is the reference material for busbar, switchgear, transformer windings and earthing, and it is chosen for conductivity rather than strength — which is why the temper matters. We supply soft, half-hard and hard busbar, square, rectangular and round, with radiused or rounded edges.

Typical applications

  • Switchgear and panel busbar
  • Transformer and motor windings
  • Earthing and lightning protection
  • Electroplating anodes and connectors
  • Induction furnace and welding components

How to choose

Specify the temper from the forming route: soft for bending and forming on site, half-hard and hard where the bar has to hold its own shape. Tin or silver plating is added when the joint has to resist oxidation.

FAQ

What conductivity do you guarantee?
Minimum 100 % IACS for soft C11000, and 97 % IACS or better for half-hard and hard tempers. The mill certificate states the resistivity measured at 20 °C.
Can you supply cut lengths and punched holes?
Cut lengths, radiused edges and holes to your drawing are available on volume orders. Send the drawing with the tonnage and we confirm the tooling and the price.
