Two busbars are more favourable in terms of smaller losses and are, Cable entry
therefore, recommended. Couplings
Mounting
For larger current strengths (> 2,500 A), four flat busbars are a
favourable and economical solution. This makes the eddy current Maintenance
smaller and the inductive voltage drop lower. Economy

Busbar systems
The following standards should be taken into account. For vibrations and the like, microencapsulated screws should be
used as well.
DIN 43671: Copper busbars
Ratings for continuous current For direct and alternating currents up to 6300 A, connecting material
(screws, washers) of torsional strength 8.8 or higher (DIN 267 part 3)
DIN 43673 part 1: Busbars drilling and screw fitting can be used for indoor applications.
Busbars with square cross section
Above 6300 A, connection material with a torsional strength of A2-70
or A4-70 (DIN ISO 3506) is recommended.
Design of busbar connections:
Treatment of contact surfaces:
In general a torque wrench must be used on rust-resistant screws.
The surfaces should be smooth, but not polished. The contact
In addition, spring elements that are designed to maintain the resistance is actually smaller when the contact surfaces have

also be recommended for screw locking. grease. If this is not the case, the contact surfaces must be cleaned.

Busbar connections
Without drilling
Connection bracket T-head bolt Outgoing taps from the busbar system with cables or outgoing busbars
can be connected as required to the busbar system without drilling at
any point in the busbar system. In the case of cable feeders, a connec-
tion bracket must be placed over the subconductors under the cable
lug in order to achieve a perfect contact. Retrofitting and repositioning
the outgoing feeder is also possible without the need to make changes
to the busbar system.
