Watteredge manufactures a full line of custom aluminum and copper water cooled bus tubes for use in many high current applications.  Water cooled bus tubes are ideal for applications where bus tube size, weight and cost are a concern.

A water cooled bus tube requires less copper which results in a reduction in the overall size of the bus system compared to using an air cooled bus tube or bar.

All Watteredge water cooled electrical bus tubes are manufactured to meet appropriate ASTM specifications.
