GUIDA MY HOME ANTIFURTO
Foreword
The scope of this guide is to become a useful tool for

the selection and sizing of a system created using
SCP busbar trunking systems. The guide provides
all the technical information and the installation
recommendation for correct state of the art
assembly. The double utility of the guide to ensure
both careful design and appropriate installation, is the
fundamental principle at the basis of the document
itself.
Example of SCP busbar trunking system installation
6 SCP BUSBARS
Strict compliance with the indications of this guide,
both by the designer, and the installer, ensures
effective, safe, and reliable selection and installation
of the SCP busbar trunking system, in full compliance
with current standards.

■ ATR
ATR are elements used for connection to boards or ATR element
transformers, similar in everything to straight elements.
These elements may be used for connection to both
cast resin and oil transformers, and offer the advantage
that the connection interfaces may be installed directly
on the vertical section of the transformer terminals,
minimising the time required for the connection of
the busbar trunking system to the transformer.Each L1 Flexible

■ CHARACTERISATION OF SHORT CIRCUIT

CURRENT
The estimated short circuit current at a point of the Short circuit current
Current (I)
user system is the current that would occur if in the

was created between conductors under voltage.
The magnitude of this current is an estimated value
that represents the worst possible condition (null

enable the current to reach the maximum theoretical
values). Symmetric component
In reality, the short circuit always occurs with
significantly lower effective current values.
Andamento reale
The intensity of the estimated short circuit current

essentially depends on the following factors:
• Power of the cabin TRANSFORMER, meaning that
the higher is the power, the higher is the current;
• length of the line upstream the fault, in the sense Current (I)
that the longer the line, the lowest is the current. 2 Icc
In three-phase circuits with Neutral it is possible to In

have three different types of short circuit: Time (t)

• phase-Neutral;
• balanced three-phase (most demanding condition).

■ ANALYTICAL DETERMINATION OF SHORT
CIRCUIT CURRENTS
In order to calculate the value of the estimated short
circuit current at any point of the circuit, it is sufficient L (m)
to apply the formulas shown below, knowing the
impedance calculated at the origin of the system
up to the point being assessed. In the formulas S (mm2)
shown below, the value of the short circuit power is P (kVA)
considered infinite and the short circuit impedance
is equal to 0. This makes it possible to define short
circuit current values higher than the actual ones, but
generally acceptable.

If the path cannot be defined with sufficient degree
of precision, some parts may be left out and ordered
at a later stage.
In order to simplify the process of taking the
necessary measurements for the definition of the
