Industrial facilities and power plants
Combar® is electrically non-conductive. This means that the reinforcement does not heat up due to induction and stray currents and energy losses are avoided.
Advantages
No induction current
Induction currents can occur in transformers and reactance coils due to the steel reinforcement which reduce the efficiency of the system; induction currents can be avoided by using the electromagnetically-neutral reinforcement Combar®No corrosion damage
Induction currents cause heating and expansion of the steel reinforcement and higher susceptibility to corrosion of the reinforcing steel; these defects do not occur with Combar®Straightforward fabrication
Using Combar® avoids complex insulation of the steel reinforcing bar junctions; in terms of processing there are only minimal differences between Combar® and reinforcing steel- Versatile
The electromagnetic neutrality of Combar® makes it ideal for use in the following areas:- switching stations
- steelworks
- aluminium foundries
- heavy industrial plants
- transformer substations
- substations
