PA12 Insulated Copper Busbars
Bendability for the benefit of electric vehicles
Luvata’s metallurgical, manufacturing and insulation expertise continues to support the future of EVs. Through our continuous improvement, Luvata has succeeded in developing a high-adhesion PA12 insulated copper busbar.
Luvata PA12 insulated copper busbar is specifically designed for the growing EV market. Recently, it has also been found to be very effective in other applications, such as data center cooling. It is able to withstand voltage of nearly 30kV and commonly used for battery, inverter and power train connections. It is offered in a very soft temper, so it is easy to form and bend. The product can be bent into sharp angular shapes and even loops, meanwhile the adhesion of the insulation remains tight.
Luvata standard grade oxygen-free copper (Cu-OF) is a high purity copper that is immune against hydrogen embrittlement. It is used in applications where high electrical and thermal conductivity are essential. It can be easily joined using all welding and brazing methods and is ideal for manufacturing processes requiring extreme deformability.
Support in overcoming the challenges facing the e-mobility industry
Luvata is focusing on copper’s high thermal conductivity in designing next generation products that overcome customers’ challenges in terms of charging times, heating, cooling, driving ranges and infrastructure. Luvata recognizes these challenges as opportunities and has made improvements specifically targeting the accelerated pace of e-mobility research and development by offering:
• Custom designed semi-products
• Insulated semi-products or components ready for assembly
• High performance alloys
• Specifications with extreme tolerances
• Accelerated prototype manufacturing
