Bus Duct
Bus duct is a duct Container including either copper or aluminum busbar for the purpose of conducting a substantial current. In electric power distribution, a bus duct conducting electricity to power cables or cable bus.
Installing power cables is more difficult and takes a lot more manpower and more time on site and can only be done by highly specialized electricians. However, bus-duct can be installed quickly, efficiently and with ease resulting in a significant reduction in on-site costs. Busbars also have a limited increase in reactive power to operate compared to cable systems. Their design also reduces the distance between conductors as well as resistance and Reduces voltage loss.
Structure Of Bus-duct
All the enclosure with metal clad, totally enclosed, rigid, floor mounted, air-insulated, cubical type suitable for operation on three-phase / single phase,415 or 230 volts, 50 Hz. They have designed for a minimum expected ambient temperature of 45 degrees Celsius. Also 80 percent humidity and dusty weather.
Application Of Bus-duct
In Electrical Power Distribution a bus-duct also called the busway. The bus duct is used for effective and reliable supply in electricity for industrial locations. In other words, the busway system is an effective method of distributing power from switchgear to loads.
Standards of bus duct
Bus duct designed as per IS standard IS 8623, IEC 60529. In addition, all switches and the circuit breakers, connectors conformed to IEC 60947, part I, II and III/ IS 60947 part I, II and III.
