Temperature Rise Limit

The temperature rise at any points of the external metal surface of busduct housing will not exceed 55 oC above ambient
temperature.
The temperature rise at any points of external insulated conductors will not exceed 70 oC above ambient temperature when
operating at rated load current.
Ambient Temperature ° C Derating Factor

Both parameters are in line with IEC60439-1 and IEC60439-2. 40 1.00

Furutec busduct system is able to operate at full rated current at a maximum ambient air 50 0.90
temperature of 40 oC without any derating effects. When busduct system is installed in a 55 0.85
higher ambient temperature, its current rating will be derated according to the factors as 60 0.80
