OUR INNOVATION

Oriental Copper has done extensive research, replacing the multiple-jointed straight busbars connecting the main ACB to the main horizontal busbars, with an innovative Twist Bar (with a Torsional Bend). Both types of switchboards (Conventional multiple-jointed straight busbars and innovative Twist Bar) underwent a Temperature Rise Test and Short Circuit Test according to the IEC-60439-1 Standard at TCA (Testing & Certification Australia). The test results showed superiority of OC-ETP Twist Bar over the Conventional Busbar for the reduction of heat in the busbar system (Less temperature rise) and less movement of busbars when subjected to short circuit fault. These tests have been certified by ASTA in 2008.

At the same time Profile Bar and Non-Welded Edgewise Elbow had been developed by similar innovative principles to reduce energy losses in Busduct System.
