Introduction
The Busbar Programme is a joint effort of CTDs and the Electrification Strategic Initiative to:
- Be the one-stop for any busbar technical request and promote new project development
- Avoid misuse of testing facilities due to poor communication or planning
- Standardize information format and drop to front-line and enhance communication
- Standardize and review testing methodologies
