Lectro Bar Busduct System Providing Efficient Distribution of Electrical Power

with Minimum Power Loss

Lectro Bar is a leading manufacturer of world class, specialized of type tested Bus Duct .

Since 1975 Lectro has manufactured thousands of meters of installed bus ducts covering a huge
number of industries both in Egypt and abroad. With two factories in Egypt and one in UAE. LECTRO
factories provide a state of the art ISO certified manufacturing facility dedicated solely to producing
the highest quality bus duct in the region. .

BUS duct is an alternative to traditional cabling and provides numerous advantages to the installer
and client including savings on space, time and cost. There are also electrical savings due to reduced
losses, reduced voltage drop and flexibility to reposition load center’s using tap-off points.

Our highly skilled team are experts at providing the client with exactly what they require and are
experienced in producing bespoke parts to meet the client’s unique demands.

Why to use Busduct (Busduct Versus Cable)

There are many advantages of bus duct over cables and trays in distribution systems:

Busducts are a cost effective alternative to cabling.

It must be noted that as current ratings increase the advantages of using busduct increase. As
current increases the busduct rating can increase in size however cable sizes are limited and multiple
cables may have to be used to carry the equivalent of one busbar.

Busducts replaces multiple cable runs with associated supporting metal

Busducts require less termination space in switchboards and Busducts have short installation time
compared to cables. Cable can be difficult and timely to install requiring in some instance specialist
cable pulling teams to pull the cable around a building resulting in high labour costs. Bus ducts do
not need cable trays and have no requirement for multiple cable runs (Installation Cost savings for
contractor). Bus ducts has less fixings per metre run than for cable.

Bus ducts have greater mechanical strength than cables

Due to the Low impedance the bus ducts have a low heat dissipation. This reduces the cost of energy
losses.

Bus ducts is manufactured to fit the building resulting in minimum wastage. i.e. bus ducts can be
made with 90 degree bends but cable has to be installed to regulation with strict adherence to
bending radius rules and hence will use more material and space. Bus ducts connections are there
for compact and take up less space.

Bus ducts elements in the systems are certified and type tested

Bus ducts systems can be easily modified and circuits can be added easily by means of plug-in tap-off
boxes.

Bus ducts have a facility for multiple Tap-off outlets (Flexibility to accommodate power requirement
changes).

Voltage drop for Bus ducts is lower than the equivalent cable
