Abstract

The correct way to perform a bolt connection between copper or aluminum busbars is particularly interesting due to the fact that the process must ensure the appropriate electrical resistance of the connection and its durability over a long period of time.The quality and reliability of the connection is mainly determined by the punching processes of the holes designated for bolt connections.
