Foreword

GB/T 5585 "Copper or aluminium and its alloy bus bars for electrical purposes" consists of two parts.

- Part 1: Copper and copper alloy bus bars;

- Part 2: Aluminium and aluminium alloy bus bars.

This Part is Part 1 of GB/T 5585.

This Part is drafted in accordance with the rules given in GB/T 1.1-2009.

This Part replaces GB/T 5585.1-2005 "Copper or aluminium and its alloy bus bars for electrical purposes - Part 1: Copper and copper alloy bus bars".

Compared with GB/T 5585.1-2005, the main technical changes are as follows.

- MODIFY the name of copper alloy bus bars, changing all the "silver-copper alloys" to "copper-silver alloys" (see 4.1 of this Part, 3.2 and 4.3 of 2005 edition);

- SPECIFY the code and product representation method (see 4.1 and 4.2 of this Part, 3.2 and 3.3 of 2005 edition);

- MODIFY the chemical composition of copper alloy bus bars (see Table 2 in 5.3 of this Part, Table 1 in 4.3 of 2005 edition);

- ADD a note to "Table 3 -- Specifications of copper and copper alloy bus bars" (see Table 3 of this Part, Table 2 of 2005 edition);

- SPECIFY the expression of test classification (see 8.1 of this Part, 7.1 of 2005 edition);

- MODIFY the expression of marking (see 9.3 of this Part, 8.3 of 2005 edition).

1 Scope

This Part of GB/T 5585 specifies the code and product representation method, technical requirements, tests, delivery length and weight, acceptance rules, product certificate and packaging, marking, transportation and storage of copper and copper alloy bus bars for electrical purposes.

This Part applies to copper and copper alloy bus bars (also known as copper and copper alloy bars) for electrical purposes.

3 Terms and definitions

For the purpose this document, the terms and definitions defined in GB/T 2900.10 and following apply.

3.1 Dimensions

Dimensions of bus bars, which are indicated by the nominal dimensions a × b of the cross-sectional thickness and width of bus bars.

3.2 Straightness

Any plane of the bus bar is statically placed on a reference plane, and it is the maximum vertical distance from any point on the plane to the reference plane.

4 Code and product representation method

4.1 Code

The code classification of copper and copper alloy bus bars includes material type code, cross-sectional shape code and state code, as shown in Table 1.

4.2 Product representation method
