It is delivered to the site ready for installation. Busducts installation needs only about 40% of the labor required to install cables and trays. Compact size Dus to its sandwitch design, busducts have very compact cross sectional sizes and they occupy far less space compared with multiple cables, Reusable, expandable an oxible As distribution may need changes, existing busduct runs can be easily relocated or extended by adding new ‘sections. Safe and versatile design Lectro busduct meets the requirements of IEC439-2. The conductors bars are. totally enclosed in a non ventilated aluminum housing which provides one. of the highest short circuit ratings in the industry today. All bus plugs are polarized to prevent improper installation. Lower installation cost The saving in labor can generate a {otal installation cost reduction of as much as 40% compared to cables. Competitive at any rating When reviewing material cost alone, busduct may cost more than cables and trays. However, it is the reduction in the number of man hours required for installation that provides a significantly lower installation cost. Aiso the cable minimum curvature radius makes the busduct path less by 5-20% for runs with many elbows. Quick delivery Leetro lead times are more competitive than ever and Lectro can handle the quickest delivery to meet the project requirement. Easy ordering Accurate layout can be done quickly with the help of Lectro group. Just provide the equipment position, dimension and general layout and Lectro will give a detailed approval drawings within one week from receiving the order.Service entrance and single load Feeder busduct brings power from utility transformer into a main distribution switchboard (service entrance). Feeder busducts are normally used for feeding loads that are concentrated in one area. Typical connections are switchboard-switchboard tie runs or a switchboard feeding a remote motor control center or large load (Single load). Vertical Riser’ Plug-in Busduct feed eco- nomically high rise buildings and tap-offs can be used to distribute electricity to the different building floors. Stiple Lo: Plug-in busducts are used as a mean of. bringing power from a distribution switchboard to multiple loads throughout the building or manufacturing facility. Plugs can be installed or removed safely within a matter of minutes. For high ampere, bolted on tap-offs provide up to 1600A protection at every joint. Busduct must be installed so that the supports and joints are accessible for maintenance purposes after installation. This implies that no part of the junction be inside the wall. It is best to keep the joint at least 20 om from the wall. This will ensure proper joint clearance for any type of busduct passing through a wall oF floor. Itis recommended that a waterproof curb to be installed at each floor opening where busduct passes through. An unprotected floor opening can act as a funnel for plumbing leaks, sprinkler system leaks and any other contamination. Busduct system must be fitted with a fire barrier where it passes through a fire wall or ceiling. Mineral filler or fire barrier sealant should be used to seal the spaces between the busduct and the fixed structure.Lectro Bar Quality comes first Type tested at KEMA laboratory itLectro Sandwich Busduct LSB Lectro compact busduct has a sandwich type non-ventilated configuration. The non- ventilated casing design excludes potential points of penetration by moisture and dust. Both feeder and plug-in types are rated up to 1000volt. Lectro busduct is manufactured in an 1$09001:2000 certified facility. Lectro busduct installs quicker than other forms of low voltage distribution. While material costs slightly higher, the labor required is often much lower. This results in an overall reduction in total cost. Plug-in contacts Bus bars for plug in applications have full sized welded conductor tabs. This design extends the contact surfaces outside of the busduct casing and into the plug-in outlet, maintaining a true sandwich design throughout the entire busway length for both feeder and plug in busduct. This will eliminate the need to separate or flare the conductor bars at the plug-in opening. Maintaining a true sandwich in busduct design eliminates potential pathways for the propagation of flame, smoke and gas through the busduct casing, commonly referred as “chimney effect’. Therefore, there is no need for internal fire barrier.The sandwich structure with tow impedance ensures low voltage drop and thus enables the cost-effective transmission of large amount of power even at long distances. Busbar and Insulation Lectro bars are fabricated from high strength pure electrolytic copper 9.995% and conductivity better than 99.5% or aluminum tin coated with suitable cross section area. Tin coating provides high conductivity, surface protection and good contact. | )) ie hoe Fray aaoicaaes Sanaaor TaPAed estes tenon Shown is a section of Lectro busduct insulation consisting of three different layers. In the first layer, the conductors can be insulated using an electrostatic Epoxy process. This process ensures an even application of Epoxy powder over the entire bars. Then, they are cov- ered with a layer of Teflon coated fiberglass films (120 um_ thickness, 5000 V, 250°C) “US made”. The phase bars are separated with a fiberglass separator representing the third insulation layer. After assembly all the bars are wrapped together with polyester tape. The result is an insulation system that is virtually impervious to the stress of normal operation. The combination of electrostatic spray and Teflon coated fiberglass produces a consistent coverage with fewer impu- rities and pinholes in the insulation common to fluidized bed process. The three-layer insulation is tested after assembly with 2500 volt for one minute. This test is intended to confirm the integrity of the insulation system and helps ensure the highest quality busduct possible, A\I'the insulation materials are rated as class B (minimum) non-flammable hence no internal fire barrier is needed. For applications with high ambient tem- perature (higher than 35°C) or required insulation of class H, the epoxy layer is replaced by a layer of Teflon Coated Fiberglass (by increasing the thickness to the double) to ensure a class H insu- lated system. Leetro bar is constructed with extruded two pieces aluminum profile 3mm thick. The non-magnetic aluminum casing ensures excellent heat dissipation, a significant reduction in reactance and magnetic flux leakage Lectro casing is designed to prohibit the entry of dirt and moisture.The casing ig bolted along the bottom sides only, below the bus bars with high tensile strength zinc piated hardwarei Epoxy or electrostatic powder paints casing are standard. The combination of the aluminum enclosure with the electrostatic paint of the housing provides an excellent corrosion resistance Busduct 3500, 4000* , 5000 A A\uminum casing provides an excellent ground return path. DC resistance/meter of the casing is less than 0.03 milliohm. Hence integral housing ground is standard and provides full cross section grounding. The system ground continuity is maintained through each joint by the ground path end blocks and joint covers. Inaddition, the housing ground conduc- tor is carried throught the joint. This design insures that the integrity of the ground path is maintained by the same mechanical pressure used to maintain the continuity of the conductive path. (Casing tested as earth at KEMAlabora- tories). A\n internal ground bus adds no benefit with this method. An internal ground adds only unecessary cost to busway installations. Busduct 2000* , 2600 , 3200 , 4000 A Busduct 5000*, 64004 However, for applications where clients insist on a 50% or 100% earth bar Lectro can provide it as optional. Outdoor feeder busduct is furnished with a housing construction employing a special gasketed design to prevent the entry of rain. Unique engineering and design features allow fleld installation in any mounting position while still maintaining outdoor integrity Special treatment for casing to face severe environmental conditions such as chemicals and humidity is also available upon request. Standard casings are 1P43, Optional, IP55;1P65 and IP67 casings can be supplied Heavy dutyStraight sections of busduct can be supplied in any length from 40 cm upto 3 m . The above figures illustrate the configuration of Lectro busduct. See table for reference of the proper configuration.

This design ensures excelient contact between each set of the busbars and the joint. This method exerts more then two tons of pressure on overlapping bus bars at each bolt. The force is distributed over the contact area by two pairs of large diameter steel discs. Joint alignment is made by two bolts instead of one bolt in the single bolt design. This design ensures the correct installation of the busduct joint even with non skilled labor. Full contact surface is guaranteed by the hole alignment in bars and joint compared to the single bolt which can be tighten at smaller contact surface. ‘The contact surface between the joint and the adjacent bars is at least 2-3 times the required area. This method results in a temperature rise at the joints almost the same as in the busduct sections. The busduct and joints act as one unit allover the total run eliminating any risks of joint problems.The bolts are insulated with two insulation layers and pass through the joint in a Teflon tube to eliminate any problems arising from joint bolts. Joint blocks are used to ensure parallel joints of bars and complete mechanical jointing using non-flammable fiberglass sheet (2 mm) with high dielectric strength (200 V/mil 80 kV/cm) “US made", ‘The joint is shipped pre-assembled with each busduct length, providing minimum job-site installation labor. Upon request joints can be supplied with a single bolt design.

The box is equipped with a door with plexi glass to allow the check of the presence of an oil leak without de- energizing the system Tire flexible connection is used to allow for busduct expansion and contraction on the low voltage spades.Transformer and Switchboard Flanges Both lectro feeder and plug-in busduct can be connected in both sides of transformer and switchboard by coordinated system of connection with simple and easy way of connection which saves 20% of switchboard size, also guarantee safe connection in minimum installation time. Lectro busduct enters the switchboard or leaves the transformer by special attachment which is tailored according to the dimensions and design of both transformer and switchboard. Fianges provide a direct connection to low voltage switchgear, switchboards, motor contol centers and to the transformer through the flexible joints. wy Cut out dimensions and drilling plans are provided with the customer drawings. For proper coordination between busduct and other equipment detailed drawings including orientation, room plan and height, distance between transformer bushings, transformer and switchboard dimensions should be given. Lectro design and planning group will prepare all necessary drawings and coordination. When the busduct must lay close to the top of the switchboard minimum flange length can be supplied connected with a corner elbow as shown in the opposite figure solving any serious pathway problems.Figure A Figure 8 — Figure c Lane 400 Earth Connection 630 800 4000 1350 1600 2000 2000" 2500 2000 3200 3500 4000 4000" 5000* 5000 6400 630 200 1000 4260 1600 2000 2500 3200 4000 Figure D 50 80 80 100 120 150 20 200 400 120 80 150 100 120 120 voo0o TRO DoT H> D> > HOH >>Reducers Non-fused Reducer Non-fused Reducers Non - fused reducers are used to reduce the capacity of busduct without protection device. No protection is required where busduct is reduced in size provided that the length of the smaller busduct is less than 15m and has a current rating of at least 1/3 of the larger busduet. The reduction is made by a patent design joint to make the reduction in a minimum space. is 80 cm. ; Seicers = — ~~ ar Reducer boxes with circuit breakers or fuses are used for protection and as a disconnecting means. Reduction in bus capacity is made within the box. Minimum length of the protected reducer Protected ReducerExpansion Coupling Leectro Busduct is designed to expand as a load is applied and the temperature of the busbar increases. If the installation can accept this movement, then no expansion coupling is required. However, if both ends of the busduct are fixed and normal expansion is restricted, in this case, expansion coupling will be necessary. Expansion couplings are manufactured using a layered laminated flexible section bolted to the adjacent copper conductors. Expansions are individually insulated within the truncking body and identified by means of a label attached to the side of the expansion length box. i Feed Box Feed units are used to supply power to the busduct. The box is made from sheet steel containing either connection strip, circuit breaker or fuses. However, it is recommended to feed busduct over 1600 A directly from the distribution panel, The minimum length of the feed unit depends on the size of cables entering the box but normally it is greater than one meter.End Closure End closures terminate a busduct run and can be used to close right or left end. It is constructed from thick fiberglass sheets which lay between the busduct bars.

Busduct Final Fit Piece A final fit section of busduct is typically an elbow or a short length left intentionally for later shipment. Its purpose is to effectively manage the dimensional uncertainties that may be involved in busduct layout. The contractor can fax the dimension A directly to the factory and the section will be shipped within 2-3 working days. Heavy dutyFixation and Hangers Hangers are provided for every 3 meters of horizontally mounted busduct. The type of hanger supplied is ae determined by the specific mounting requirements of the busduct. Angle Hanger A spring suspension type is used for vertical runs. This hanger equalizes the weight of vertically mounted busduct along all supports. These hangers compensate for expansion and contraction of the busduct. at least, one vertical hanger must be used for each , code floor.

Six tap offs outlet can be supplied as an option (three on each side). Tap-off ports are designed to prevent bus plugs from being installed 180 degrees out of roiation. The tap-off boxes are made from sheet steel painted with electrostatic paint or galvanized. Boxes can be equipped with either fuses or ciruit breakers. Tap-offs with breakers have the following precautions to ensure safe operation: * A cover interlock to prevent opening the cover while the tap-off in the "ON" position * An ON-OFF handle mounted on tap- off to operate the breaker without opening the cover * A switch interlock to prevent putting the device into operation when the cover is open * A safety interlock to prevent insertion or removal of the plug while in the "ON" positionTap-offs with fuses over 63 A are from the switch fuse type to prevent operation while door is open and not to remove or insert the plug in the ON- position. To ensure that the tap-off plugs are seated onto the busduct, the box is equipped with a clamping mechanism. This mechanism will draw the unit tight onto the busduct housing as the installer tightens the clamps. The contact resistance between plug pins and the tinned busbars is constant even after years of operation due to the silver plating of the pins , together with the high contact pressureBottom View Bolt-on Tap-off Bott-on tap-offs are used as power take-off upto 1600 A. When the required current is higher than the capacity of the plug-in tap-off, bolt-on must be u: ‘The bolt-on tap-off unit bolts directly to the contact surfaces of the busbar joint. ‘The unit can carry either a circuit breaker or fuses. For buduct risers or in applications where number of tap-off is limited, a bott- on tap-off unit can be used with a feeder instead of plug-in busduct. This method offers a power take -off at each busduct joint. ee Intrack Symes pening Handle Top View x Tap-off Dimensions 20 20 30 35 20 20 20 25 (Ci rakesTotally enclosed primary Busduct system from Transformer to main Circuit Breaker ‘Transformer box complete with flexible joint Secondary Busduct with half the Primary Busduct rating i 4 } Main Circuit Breaker = Distribut with Fuse ‘This system was invented in cooperation with Alexandria Electrical Authority and was implemented in more than 40 transformer rooms in Egypt with direct orders from electrical authorities.
