Zinsco would remain with copper in both their panels and breakers until the third major copper shortage in the early 1960s, when they would switch to an aluminum bus. In 1963, Zinsco introduced the R-38 twin breaker, which was the only twin circuit breaker that also made contact on both bus-bars for 240 volts in a single breaker space.
The busbar's material composition and cross-sectional size determine the maximum current it can safely carry. Busbars can have a cross-sectional area of as little as 10 square millimetres (0.016 sq in), but electrical substations may use metal tubes 50 millimetres (2.0 in) in diameter or more as busbars.
Enclosure comparison with normal wiring & with busbar system. Electrical busbar systems [1] (sometimes simply referred to as busbar systems) are a modular approach to electrical wiring, where instead of a standard cable wiring to every single electrical device, the electrical devices are mounted onto an adapter which is directly fitted to a current carrying busbar.
5000 ampere copper and 4000 A aluminium bus ducts. In electric power distribution, a bus duct (also called busway) typically uses sheet metal, welded metal [1] or cast resin to contain and isolate copper or aluminium busbars for the purpose of conducting a substantial current of electricity.

The Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning Contractors' National Association (SMACNA; pronounced 'Smack'-'Nah') is an international trade association with more than 4,500 contributing contractor members [1] in 103 chapters [2] throughout the United States, Canada, Australia and Brazil.
The Metal Construction Association (MCA) is an industry organization in the US that was formed in 1984 with a focus on expanding the use of metal in construction through marketing, education and selective action on public policies that affect metal's use in building projects.
