Copper Studs for Transformers
Copper Studs for Transformers
Copper Threaded Studs -Precision Copper Components for LV, MV & HV transformer bushing applications
We are one of the leading manufacturers and exporters of Copper Studs for Transformers from India. We have been supplying high-conductivity threaded Copper studs to the global transformer and electrical equipment market for many decades. Our Copper studs are engineered for low voltage (LV), medium voltage (MV), and high voltage (HV) applications, especially for transformer bushing assemblies and terminal connections. With world-class machining facilities and a legacy of precision, we provide full-threaded and half-threaded Copper studs that conform to ASTM, DIN, IS, and BS standards. Our flexibility in production, competitive lead times, and strong engineering support make us a preferred partner for OEMs and electrical utilities worldwide. We have been manufacturing and supplying Copper full threaded transformer studs, Solid Copper Studs for transformer busings since 3 decades.We use High Conductivity Copper material for manufacturing Copper studs.
Material Grades & Properties of Copper Studs
We manufacture Copper studs using high-purity Copper grades that ensure superior electrical conductivity and mechanical strength.
| Material Grade | Standard | Copper Content | Electrical Conductivity |
|---|---|---|---|
| ETP Grade Copper | ASTM B187 / B133 | > 99.90% Cu | ≥ 100% IACS |
| Oxygen-Free Copper (OFHC) | ASTM B187 / B170 | ≥ 99.95% Cu | ≥ 101% IACS |
| Electrolytic Copper Rod | IS 191 / DIN 40500 | ≥ 99.90% Cu | ≥ 100% IACS |
Manufacturing Processnof Copper Studs Threaded studs for Transformer Bushings
Our Copper transformer studs are manufactured through high-precision processes to meet dimensional accuracy and performance requirements:
- Copper Rod Sourcing & Cutting – High-purity Copper rods are sourced and cut to required lengths.
- Turning & Threading – CNC lathes and precision thread rolling machines produce accurate full or half threads.
- Chamfering & Slotting – For ease of assembly and electrical contact.
- Annealing (Optional) – For improved ductility in certain applications.
- Deburring & Surface Cleaning – Ensures smooth finish and better conductivity.
- Electroplating (Optional) – Tin or Silver plating as per customer requirement.
Machinery Used:
- CNC Turning Centers
