Busbar for Electric Vehicles

Typically made from copper or aluminum, busbars are rigid and flat — wider than cables but up to 70 percent shorter in height. They can also carry more current than cables with the same cross-sectional area. These attributes make busbars ideal for some high-voltage connections in Electric Vehicles (EVs) and a key component of the electrical architectures of tomorrow’s vehicles.

Major driving factors of busbars in Electric Vehicle are:-

1. Lack of space within vehicles.
2. Need for automated assembly.
3. Busbars can carry more current because of their shape.

Raychem RPG Manufacturing, with multiple locations in India, is a leading supplier of Busbars to the Electric Vehicle industry. Our customized support also helps Raychem RPG’s automotive customers to meet tight deadlines and reduce costs. The company works side by side with design engineers to select the proper material, dimensions, tolerances, and optimal performance with the best cost solutions. Raychem RPG Busbar types include Copper, Aluminum solid & Flexible ( Solidified / Diffusion Bonded ), Surge protection, and Electrical panel Busbars.

Raychem RPG supports for tool development with its suppliers to produce customized busbar solutions that enable tight tolerance specifications for busbar performance and automatic assembly needs. Raychem RPG engineering enables a complex busbar design that requires multiple axes bending, forming, and twist profile that is needed for numerous continuous power connections required in today’s tight-spaced, high-performance engines. In addition, minimum or zero material waste can be achieved, reducing your product cost.

As power systems become faster and more complex, the challenges to efficiently integrate busbars in tight-spaced, Battery pack, Power Distribution System (PDU) or Battery Management Systems (BMS) have become increasingly relevant. These requirements are driving the need for greater flexibility for configuration and production of both large and small footprint busbar inter-connection. Raychem RPG produces Flexible, Multi-layered Busbar Assemblies meeting the exact requirements and challenges of today and tomorrow’s Electric Vehicles.
