Exclusive features of the Schneider Electric system
PD202373.eps
Total coordination of the Schneider Electric system provides maximum safety of life
and property, continuity of service, upgradeability and ease of installation.
Total coordination is made easy by the tables in the “Selection Guide”. They help you
chose the right combination of circuit breakers and busbar trunking.
Product characteristics are checked by calculations and tests carried out in our
laboratories.
A competitive installation.
Simplicity, upgradeability, safety and continuity of service and operation.
Savings start with installation

With tap-off points every 3 metres, Canalis busbar trunking reduces installation
costs.
Given the low cost of adding new circuits, savings increase as the number of loads
increases, a natural consequence of the growth of your business.
DD205658.eps
Upgradeable during operation

In decentralised distribution, evolving operating requirements and costs are
integrated right from the start.
b The addition, relocation or replacement of load equipment can be carried out
quickly, without de-energising the supply trunking or shutting down operation.
b The cost of making such changes is greatly reduced:
v loads are located close to supply points
v tap-off points are always available
v tap-units can be reused or new ones added quickly for load relocation or
replacement needs.

b All Canalis products are designed for safe end-of-life recycling. PVC, on the other
hand, requires neutralisation of the hydrochloric acid produced using lime and
generates dioxins that are extremely toxic.
Canalis helps conserve natural resources

The depletion of raw materials (copper, plastics, etc.) is one of our ongoing concerns.
For this reason, we have optimised the used of all materials used to make our busbar
trunking.
Example: b Reduction of dangerous or polluting materials. We design our products to meet

Conservation of natural Canalis reduces your line losses by 20 %
Canalis divides your consumption of plastic by a factor of four
resources The cost of an electrical installation includes the initial investment for the equipment
and its installation, the cost of maintenance and the cost of energy losses during
operation.
The concept of decentralised distribution is a way to merge all the circuits in one and
thus to reduce to the maximum the low cross-section lengths and the weight of
insulating materials.

An environmentally friendly life cycle

The manufacturing, packing and distribution processes have been designed to limit
the environmental impact of our products.
In service, Canalis dissipates less than 0.1 % of the total power circulating in the
product.
At end of life, over 90 % of the materials used can be recycled by crushing or
dismantling.

b height: 6 m.
Selection of light sources taking into account the long daily use and the luminaire

Distance between two class E luminaires: e = 1.30 x h = 1.30 x 5 = 6.5 m.

Number of luminaires over the length: 65 / 6.5 = 10 luminaires.
Number of luminaires over the width: 25 / 6.5 = 3.8 (i.e. 4 rows of 10 luminaires).

Tap-off protection
Canalis tap-offs must have overload protection. The tap-off is created using a fused
tap-off unit to protect the cable (C3) and the device against short-circuits.
This protection offers good discrimination during operation (continuity of service,
trouble-shooting, etc.).
For lighting, it may be useful to take advantage of the possibilities for dispensing
with or remotely locating the protection, offered by standard IEC 60-364-4-43
(§ 433 and 434) and summarised in the texts below, drawn from UTE C 15-107.
The tap-off is created using a pre-wired tap-off unit.

Determining the degree of protection
6WDQGDUG,(&FDWHJRULVHVDODUJHQXPEHURIH[WHUQDOLQÀXHQFHVWRZKLFK
electrical installations can be subjected, for instance the presence of water, solid
objects, shocks, vibrations and corrosive substances.
7KHLPSRUWDQFHRIWKHVHLQÀXHQFHVGHSHQGVRQWKHLQVWDOODWLRQFRQGLWLRQV
For example, the presence of water can vary from a few drops to total immersion.
Degree of protection IP Standard IEC 60529 (February 2001) indicates the degree of protection provided by
electrical equipment enclosures against accidental direct contact with live parts and
against the ingress of solid foreign objects or water.
This standard does not apply to protection against the risk of explosion or conditions
such as humidity, corrosive gases, fungi or vermin.
The IP code comprises 2 characteristic numerals and may include an additional letter
when the actual protection of persons against direct contact with live parts is better
WKDQWKDWLQGLFDWHGE\WKH¿UVWQXPHUDO
7KH¿UVWQXPHUDOFKDUDFWHULVHVWKHSURWHFWLRQRIWKHHTXLSPHQWDJDLQVWSHQHWUDWLRQ
of solid objects and the protection of people.
The second numeral characterises the protection of the equipment against
penetration of water with harmful effects.
Remarks concerning the degree of protection IP

b The degree of protection IP must always be read and understood numeral by
numeral and not as a whole.
For example, an IP31 enclosure is suitable for an environment that requires a
minimum degree of protection IP21. However an IP30 wall-mount enclosure is not
suitable.
b The degrees of protection indicated in this catalogue are valid for the enclosures
as presented. However, the indicated degree of protection is guaranteed only when
the installation and device mounting are carried out in accordance with professional
standard practice.
Additional letter
Protection of persons against direct contact with live parts.
The additional letter is used only if the actual protection of persons is higher than that
LQGLFDWHGE\WKH¿UVWFKDUDFWHULVWLFQXPHUDORIWKH,3FRGH
If only the protection of persons is of interest, the two characteristic numerals are
replaced by the letter “X”, e.g. IPXXB.

Distribution components
DD205843.eps
These components carry the current and supply loads up to 400 A. They constitute the basic structure of the line and are made up of:
1 a casing, crimp closed, made of hot-galvanised sheet steel, pre-lacquered RAL 9001 white. This casing, shaped and ribbed by roller
burnishing, provides excellent resistance to bending and twisting. Two sizes cover the entire range of ratings: 54 mm wide for the 100, 160, 250
and 400 A ratings and 113 mm wide for the 500, 630, 800 and 1000 A ratings, live conductors made up of four identically sized bars.
2 silver-plated aluminium/copper bimetal laminate for the 100 and 160 A ratings, aluminium equipped with silver-plated aluminium/copper
bimetall laminate contacts electrically welded at junctions and tap-off points for the 250 and 1000 A ratings.
3 a protective conductor (PE) sized u 50 % with respect to the cross-section of phases. It is connected to the casing at each junction.
4 tap-off outlets every meter on both sides of the trunking.
5 a mechanical and electrical jointing system: (OHFWULFDOMRLQWLQJLVHQVXUHGE\DEORFNZLWKÀH[LEOHJULSFRQWDFWVPDGHRIVLOYHUSODWHGFRSSHU
This block equally absorbs the difference in conductor and casing thermal expansion for each length.
For the 100 to 250 A ratings, it ensures automatic and simultaneous jointing of all live conductors and the continuity of the protective earth
conductor, as well as its connection with the casing. For the 400 to 1000 A ratings, electrical jointing is ensured by a quarter-turn locking
mechanism for each conductor.

Disconnection principle:
DD210280.eps
Disconnection by unplugging the tap-off unit.

The access to the electrical devices and the terminals
is possible only when the tap-off unit is unplugged
(i.e. not energised).
A safety device prevents connection to the trunking
when the cover has been removed.
Disconnection of tap-off units with fuses and modular

devices (category AC20) is obtained by opening the
tap-unit cover.
Tap-off unit disconnection by opening or closing

the cover should be carried out only if the
downstreamload is de-energised.
For tap-units with circuit breakers, a number of

safety devices prevents from:
b Plugging and unplugging in the tap-off unit when the

cover is closed
b Closing the cover before the tap-off unit is locked
onto the trunking
b having access to the electrical equipment and the
terminals when energised.
b opening the cover in the position “ON” (tap-off units
equipped with a Compact NSX or NG circuit breaker).
These tap-off units can be equipped with certain

accessories such as circuit-opening contacts on the
cover, lead seals, etc.

Specially designed for rising mains, they are available in two lengths (2 and 2.5
metres).
They have three or four tap-off outlets, all on the same side. The outlets are
positioned to enable connection of up to three 160 A tap-off units for Compact
NSX circuit breakers on the two-metre lengths and up to four on the 2.5-metre
lengths.

Maintenance of Canalis KBL
There are two types of maintenance.

DD205763.eps
b Luminaire cleaning
During operation, in both industrial and commercial environments, the luminaires
become dirty and illuminance is reduced. Cleaning of luminaires restores the initial
level of illuminance.

analysis on operating costs and installation maintenance
v productivity gains, because good lighting improves working conditions and quality
control of products or operations
v gains in employee satisfaction, through enhanced comfort and less visual fatigue
and risk of accidents
v environmental gains, because good lighting means less energy consumed and
often fewer lamps to replace and dispose of.
b Tube replacement
7KLVFRQVLVWVRIFKDQJLQJWXEHVDQGVWDUWHUVIRUÀXRUHVFHQWOXPLQDLUHVDQGEXOEVIRU
discharge lamps.
Two types of maintenance are possible.

b Preventive maintenance
Depending on the service life (e.g. two years), it is possible to schedule a cleaning
program and, at the same time, systematically change all bulbs, tubes and starters.
b Corrective maintenance
The maintenance operations are the same, but are carried out when users report a
problem.
Advantages of Canalis
Because the luminaires are mounted on trunking and supplied by tap-off units, they
can be easily removed for cleaning and changing at ground level, then put back.
It is also possible to have spare units for immediate replacement of luminaires,
followed by cleaning and bulb changing of the removed luminaires that then become
the spare units.

Other recommendations
Maintenance of devices
For all devices installed in Canalis tap-off units, follow the manufacturer’s instructions
(as for installation in a switchboard).
Visual check
Cleaning
It is advised to check annually that trunking is clean and to remove any dust, water,
oil or other conducting substances or objects from sensitive zones such as junctions,
tap-off outlets and tap-off units.
External appearance
Check the external appearance of the trunking to detect:
b signs of shocks, in which case it is necessary to check the degree of protection
to avoid any risk of insulation faults
b anomalies, i.e. incorrect implementation of the trunking (incorrect supports, etc.)
b traces of corrosion (in particular on supports).
Reuse after exposure to water

If a Canalis line is exposed to water during installation, it is necessary
to measure the insulation resistance of the line by isolating the supply and the loads.
b If R < 0.69 M:, the installation must not be energised:
v cut the line in two by removing the jointing unit in the middle
v locate the faulty zone
v remove all jointing covers and dry the parts using compressed air
v continue until the insulation resistance is greater than 0.69 M:
v the system can then be energised.

Protection
With DC, there is no zero crossing point of the voltage and current to facilitate arc
extinction in the protective device.
The arcing time is longer and the energy that has to be absorbed is higher than for
AC.
The voltage of the DC arc must rise to the source voltage very quickly in order to
"put out" the short-circuit current.
"Shortened" electrical equation: U network = R x Isc + Uarc where:
b Isc = U network - Uarc / R
b Isc = 0 when Uarc = U network.

A sprinkler delivers between 60 and 120 l/min according to the hazard class.
On nuisance tripping lasting a few minutes, some hundreds of litres of water are
released. IPx5 approval as per standard

Non-limiting or time-delayed
circuit breakers
Either non-limiting (instantaneous or time-delayed) or time-delayed limiting circuit
breakers can be used. They are mainly air-type power (= 800 A) circuit breakers.
This type of circuit breaker is used to implement time discrimination
and is often combined with KT type trunking.
b The busbar trunking must be capable of withstanding the peak fault current
to which it may be subjected as well as the thermal stress during any time delay:
v the permissible peak current, l peak, of the BTS must be greater than the peak

The value of the asymmetrical short-circuit current is obtained from the value
of the symmetrical short-circuit current, Isc, multiplied by a standardised
asymmetry factor (k).

Coordination BTS protection by Compact NSX
limiting circuit breakers
Busbar trunking ratings can be optimised when circuit breakers rather than fuses are
used for protection.
Limiting capacity The circuit breakers in the Compact NSX range are limiting circuit breakers
with a high current-limiting capacity.
A circuit breaker’s limiting capacity is its ability to let only a limited current IL,
lower than the prospective asymmetrical peak short-circuit current Isc through
in the event of a short-circuit.
The consequence is a considerable reduction in electrodynamic
and thermal stresses in the protected installation.

Selection guides
The selection guides below can be used to determine the circuit breaker required
to fully protect the trunking depending on the prospective short-circuit current
of the installation.
Example: in an installation with a prospective Isc of 15 kA, the circuit breaker

required to protect 25 A KBB trunking is a C60H (the rating depends on the rated
current of the circuit).
