<p>[QUOTE="swagge1, post: 1999846, member: 22402"]Most experts agree that silver is considered the best metal conductor for electricity. I work in a chemical plant and am currently involved in an electrical upgrade project. Below is a picture of flexible bus bar. It comes in a roll and is very heavy. The length that is needed is simply cut from the roll. This bar is used to transfer 480 volt power to a motor control center. The bar pictured below is capable of safely handling 1000 volts. It is made of silver coated copper sheets that slide on each other when bent. Think of a leaf spring in your car. I took a picture yesterday of a piece of left over scrap. Anyways, I thought it would be fun to share this with cointalk. </p><p><a href="http://s2.photobucket.com/user/swagge1/media/Coins/IMG_3859_zpsdf05fecb.jpg.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://s2.photobucket.com/user/swagge1/media/Coins/IMG_3859_zpsdf05fecb.jpg.html" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y39/swagge1/Coins/IMG_3859_zpsdf05fecb.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
