Corrosion-Resistant Copper Nickel Electrical Busbar | Compatible with Global CuNi Grades
Copper Nickel (CuNi) electrical busbars have become a crucial solution for industries requiring corrosion-resistant and high-performance electrical distribution systems. Engineered for reliability and long-term durability, CuNi busbars combine excellent conductivity with superior resistance to harsh environments, including marine, offshore, and industrial settings. DLX specializes in producing CuNi busbars in 90/10 and 70/30 compositions, ensuring compatibility with global CuNi standards and delivering dependable performance across various applications.
The 90/10 CuNi busbar is characterized by high copper content, providing excellent electrical conductivity while maintaining solid corrosion resistance for moderate environmental conditions. This makes it suitable for industrial switchboards, shipbuilding projects, and electrical distribution systems exposed to humidity or light saline exposure. On the other hand, the 70/30 CuNi busbar, with a higher nickel content, offers enhanced resistance against aggressive corrosion and chemical attack, making it ideal for offshore platforms, desalination plants, and renewable energy equipment exposed to severe marine environments.
CuNi busbars not only resist corrosion but also maintain dimensional and mechanical stability under fluctuating electrical loads and temperatures. This stability is essential for applications in industrial and renewable energy systems, where equipment operates continuously and reliability is critical. Their ductility allows for precision fabrication, bending, and installation without compromising performance, reducing installation costs and time.

Compared to traditional copper busbars, CuNi alloys significantly reduce maintenance needs and extend service life. Copper, while conductive, corrodes rapidly in salty or humid environments, often requiring frequent replacement. Aluminum, while lightweight, lacks sufficient corrosion resistance and mechanical strength for long-term use in challenging environments. CuNi busbars bridge these gaps, combining conductivity, corrosion resistance, and mechanical durability in a single material solution.
The adoption of CuNi busbars is strongly aligned with global trends in renewable energy and sustainable electrical infrastructure. Offshore wind farms, solar energy projects, and modern marine vessels require materials that perform reliably in corrosive environments while reducing maintenance and downtime. CuNi busbars provide the durability and performance needed for these applications, ensuring efficient power transmission, minimal energy loss, and long-term operational reliability.
DLX sets itself apart by producing CuNi busbars that adhere to the highest quality standards. Each busbar undergoes rigorous testing to ensure uniform alloy composition, precise dimensions, and smooth surface finishes, essential for optimal electrical performance. Electrical conductivity, mechanical strength, and corrosion resistance are thoroughly evaluated to guarantee performance in real-world industrial and marine conditions.
International standard compliance is a cornerstone of DLX CuNi busbars. CuNi 90/10 products meet ASTM B122, DIN 2.0872, and UNS C70600 standards, while CuNi 70/30 busbars comply with ASTM B122, DIN 2.0880, and UNS C71500. This global compatibility ensures seamless integration into projects worldwide, whether for retrofits or new installations.
DLX also offers consultative support, guiding clients in selecting the right alloy, busbar dimensions, and fabrication processes based on project requirements. This ensures optimal performance and reduces the likelihood of errors during installation.
