Busbar Systems 25A – 6000 A
Range of busbar trunking products to meet the wide-ranging demands of today's Workplace

What is a Busbar Trunking System?
Busbar Trunking is a prefabricated, modular system, designed to transmit and distribute electricity. General construction is of, insulated aluminium or copper conductors which complies with relevant standards, covered by a steel housing.

The electrical energy is carried by means of the conductors which are placed into the metal housing using the plug in box provides a safe method of connection without interruption of supply.


Using large cables for power distribution with in factories, high rise buildings etc can incur difficulties when running the cables into the cabletrays or when there is a need for changes or extensions. These problems are easily overcome using Busbar Systems instead of cables. Busbar Systems allow you to "Tap" power at convienient locations, reducing the expense of changes to cable systems.

Also possible to mount this system to any another location if required. It is also very easy to take the electrical energy from the tap-off points by means of the tap-off boxes.

Busbars offer a number of advantages to those constructing a workplace for the 21st century:

• Simple and quick to install

  • Modular systems, including click-fit construction within the 25A & 40A range

• "Plug and play" power distribution

  • Regular connection tap off points

• Highly cost effective

  • Reduced up-front labour costs and minimal churn costs

• Low maintenance and exceptionally reliable

  • Robust, fixed trunking enclose rigid copper or aluminium conductors

• Flexible decentralised distribution system

  • Acts as elongated distribution board

Applications
Busbars offer efficient, flexible and adaptable power distribution for a number of uses - for example in-ceiling lighting and heat, rising mains, distribution for factory workstations and machinery or even power transportation. See the multiple applications in commercial, retail, warehousing and industrial settings
 
25A & 40A - small power distribution
25A and 40A busbar systems, used for overhead power distribution for lighting or other small power requirements For 25A and 40Atrunking (a busbar hybrid, with power and separate comms cabling in one trunking),

63A to 1000A - medium power distribution
63A to 1000A busbar systems, used for power distribution in a variety of settings. Can be used vertically or horizontally, for instance rising mains or high level in retail outlets or factories.

Bbus bars - the benefits
25A...63A Lighting and Small Power Busbar Trunking

The joint is a fast locking type with a single screw. The joint contacts are silver plated and highly oversized in comparison with the nominal current to bear in total safety possible short term current peaks. The joint is further reinforced with tightening springs which ensures the the proper contact pressure between the conductors.

The joint provides continuity of the housing when used as the earth conductor. General Characteristics Feeder units are available for installing at either end of the system or as a centre feed unit.

The feeder units are IP55 as standard, and will accept supply cables up to ø16mm. The feeder units are supplied in kits including end closure and joint cover. The housing is constructed in pregalvanised sheet metal which provides a substantial earth path. The housing gives to the line a very high mechanical strength, particularly suitable for industrial application.

Applications in severe climatic conditions. The conductors are in electrolytic copper, tin plated and insulated along their Full length (except at tap off positions) with a self extinguishing plastic sleeve.

2 and 4 conductor versions are standard, with 3 or 5 conductor versions supplied upon request. Each 3m standard straight length is provided with 4 tap off points at 75 cm distance on one side of the trunking.

They can be supplied with different length cable on request. Tap Off Plugs Tap off plugs are available in ratings from 10A to 32A. The plugs are manufactured in a self extinguishing material. The contacts for the phase and neutral conductors are silver plated copper to provide the best conductivity and resistance to corrosion.

Disconnection duty cycles. The tapping units when plugged into the system provides both a good contact with the main conductors and a secure fixing of the plug on the housing.
