HISTORY:
These busbars were an optional component in a piece of test equipment which provided low variable voltages at very high current capabilities. The busbars could be used to parallel the dual outputs to creating higher current capabilities.
The casing of the equipment had become damaged but some of the components can be repurposed .... this is one of those components.
Sustainability is the name of the game! Anything (that has been tested and still functioning properly) should be repurposed creating saving in wasted Ee and reducing the poisoning our environment when items are buried in the earth at the local tip needlessly.
Never heard of Ee? It is a concept that creates a measurement of ALL things (not just electronics) that humans have made and the energy used in obtaining the raw material, processing the materials right through to a finished product and even should include the shipping of the item to the distributors/retailers.

UNIDENTIFIED MANUFACTURER - Busbar(s)
Set of two (identical)
Material: Pure Copper
Unlike the terminal bolts which "looked" like Copper but are in fact plated, these busbars are pure Copper, (scratch tested and non-ferrous)
55mm length x 12.75mm width x 1.5mm thick
Hole at each end for fitting onto the original equipment terminal posts, 8.5mm ID each
These holes are 36.25mm apart
If you would like to see the nice big fat terminals these were used with, take a look HERE
COSMETIC CONDITION:
USED
Clean
NO physical damage at all
Nice "Coppery" shine! with no oxidisation
These busbars would just love to pass some current and are eagerly waiting in a sealed clear plastic placket, ready to serve a useful purpose once again!
