[SDGs Case Study] Improvement of heating and poor conductivity at busbar connection points

Introducing the "busbar connection element" that can reduce heat generation and contact resistance! A case where energy savings have been achieved.

At a steel mill in Hyogo Prefecture, issues with heat generation and contact failure at the connections between busbars had become a problem on-site. In particular, the heat generation was concerning, as the busbar connection points could exceed 200°C due to current flow, posing a risk of disasters such as fires, necessitating improvements. To address this, a "seal contact" element for busbar connections was introduced, which can reduce heat generation and contact resistance. Within 1 to 2 weeks of starting the trial, despite the surrounding temperature on-site being around 60°C, the temperature at the busbar connection points was reduced from the initial 272°C to 82°C.
