Comparison between Sandwich and Cast Resin Bustrunking
Sandwich Bustrunking Cast Resin Bustrunking
Particulars Advantages of Cast Resin (SBT) (CRBT) Finishing is good Finishing is extremely good Installation adds to Finishing aesthetics of building such as an integral part of the building Multiple floor building power Multiple floor building power feeding can be done with feeding can be done with single Bustrunking (BT) single BT system system Functions as good as Sandwich Power tap Power tap off can be done Power tap off can be done Tap Off BT with additional off from the single system from the single system features over Sandwich BT installed. In case the load installed. In case the load changes we have to just changes we have to just replace the Tap off boxes of replace the Tap off boxes of higher rating. higher rating. The voltage drop of SBT is Voltage drop is equivalent to Voltage drops are similar Voltage less as compared to cables Sandwich Bustrunking despite of more compact as drop compared to SBT Example for 3200A(Cu) 3200A (Cu) dimensions : Most compact form of BT, dimensions : 151(w)x340(h) 104(w)x290(h) and light in weight of steel enclosure of Dimension and light in weight weight SBT is quite high compared to s resin insulation weight, hence compact and lower weight Total run is made up of Total run is made up of The CRBT is a fit and forget multiple element which are multiple element which are system, renders extremely joint together. Thus making the joint together and casted with reliable maintenance free complete system maintenance resin. Thus making the system Installatio friendly. complete system maintenance n “free” An enclosed system, but can Totally casted, cannot be No tempering is possible and be tempered and may cause tampered. Fit and forget hence serves as a worry free system to malfunction system electrical system IP-54 for plug in type, IP55, 65 IP68 (for feeder bus duct ), In CRBT the entire installation for feeder IP55 (plug in bus duct) is unaffected with moisture Degree of Special protection is to be Being IP68 the complete water, rain, wide range of protection taken for installation in system can be installed in chemicals, external depositions OUTDOOR area. OUTDOOR. etc. suitable for such environments It consists of busbars in a The principle of this bus way The unique insulation feature protective enclosure, including system is unique and based on of this BT makes it suitable straight lengths, fittings, the direct encapsulation of and the only choice for harsh devices and accessories. Al /Cu conductors with mixed environment such as Marine, cast-resin insulation, filled Oil & Gas, Petrochemical, Enclosure with a selected inert mineral Cement, Cotton industries filling of different granules etc. All other types of BTs sizes which has excellent having a metallic enclosure are electrical insulations. bound to loose integrity after some period in such environments Sandwich Bustrunking Cast Resin Bustrunking Particulars Advantages of Cast Resin (SBT) (CRBT) SBT have the limitation of fire CRBT are tested for operation A prominent feature of CSBT protection while these system under fire and are tested for 3 which allows electrical system Fire are live and generally don’t hrs. at 7500C continuous to operate in situations like protection qualify for the fire protection operation as per IEC 60331-21 fire, where emergency and back up supplies need to remain energized SBT can be exploded in case CRBT are tested fir being Only form of BT which is of extreme situations such as explosion proof in extreme explosion proof, an extremely Explosion 3-Ph short circuits which can events such as short circuit etc. safe electrical power proof impair the human safety in and transportation system for around the SBT operating/other personnel around it Impact Max impact resistance is IK10 CRBT have impact resistance High impact resistance makes resistance in case of steel enclosure and of IK10 throughout the length this product suitable for all for Al enclosures it is even without any compromise kind of environments lesser Extra holes/cutouts are No extra holes/cutouts are There is no need of any required. required. alteration in the CRBT once the fabrication is done, supports are mounted without Erection any holes, cutouts. No special tools are required. No special tools are required. Despite of unique in construction, no special tools are required for mounting and installation RoHS Principally free from halogen. Free from halogen. No issues of compliance to RoHS and other green certifications Effect of Busbar systems cannot be Busbar systems cannot be No effect of any external rodents damaged by various rodents, damaged by various rodents, as deposition of foreign which prevents the steel it is casted in insulating resin, material/rodents on the casing. performance of CRBT Busbars according to IEC Busbars according to IEC Despite of being compact, low 61439 - 1&6, are sized to work 61439 - 1&6, are sized to work in weight CRBT perform Ambient on an ambient of + 35⁰C , on an ambient of + 35⁰C , equally good as compared to temperatu peaking at 40⁰C.This gives the peaking at 40⁰C.This gives the SBT re advantage of 10% factor over advantage of 10% factor over the cables. the cables.
