FLEXIBLE SHUNTS

In the vast majority of electric furnaces operating today, copper bus tube(s) and terminals transfer the electrical power from the flexible power cables to the electrode heads or contact pads. Bus tubes are generally fabricated from high-conductivity, heavy-wall extruded copper pipe. They are water cooled and must be properly sized for the job. Due to their length, copper bus tubes require one or more support structures, attached to the mast arm.
