Universal Angle Bus Conductor (UABC)
High-Performance Aluminum Bus for Flexible Outdoor Power Connections
The Universal Angle Bus Conductor (UABC) is an extruded aluminum angle designed for use in medium-voltage power distribution systems, especially in outdoor substation environments. Engineered for strength, conductivity, and installation flexibility, UABCs provide a reliable and adaptable method of interconnecting equipment and bus structures.
Key Features & Specifications
Each conductor features a right-angle profile with precision-machined centerline notches on both legs, enabling fast, accurate bolt alignment without the need for field measuring or additional templates. The uniform wall thickness of both legs allows for straightforward mounting on insulator caps or directly onto structural supports.
Unlike traditional flat or custom-bent busbars, UABCs streamline assembly by reducing the number of fittings or transition pieces required, helping contractors and utilities save on labor and hardware. The angle configuration supports robust mechanical integrity while maintaining excellent electrical performance.
Alloy: High-conductivity 6101 aluminum, heat-treated to T6, T61, or T63 temper
Design: Uniform leg thickness with centerline notching for precise bolt placement
Application: Mounts directly on insulators or with terminal connectors
Sizes Available: From 3¼” to 5″ width with wall thickness of ¼” or ⅜”
Common Uses: Substations, utility-grade installations, industrial panels
