Busbar Systems Applications

EAE Busbar Energy Distribution Systems are used wherever electric supply is needed.

At textile factories:

As Feeder to textile machines,

As feeder of lighting fixtures.

At high raised buildings:

As Feeder between transformers to Main Distribution Panelboards,

As Distribution of energy to the floors by vertical application,

As feeder to equipments and panels at horizontal lines,

As underfloor trunking for distribution of energy in office floors.

At hotels:


As Distribution of energy to the floors by vertical application,

At industrial plants:


As Distribution of energy by vertical and horizontal application,

Busbar Systems Applications

EAE Busbar Energy Distribution Systems are used wherever electric supply is needed.

At shopping malls:



As feeder of lighting fixtures. At hospitals:



At automotive factories:

As Feeder to production lines,

And EAE busbar systems are used wherever intense electrical power is required as energydistribution and supplying.

1 Busbars have compact structure. Placing of insulated/separated conductors in the housing

provides compact structure. Busbar systems need less space than cable systems, especially for

high ampere rates.

2 Busbars have sheet metal body. This helps transferring the generated heat out through metal

housing. Cooling is betterthan cable systems.

3 Busbars can be applied to any kind of building by its modular structure. The design of busbar

system can be changed in the future and/or moved to another building then installed again.

4 Busbar systems have a modern and esthetic looking.

5 Busbar systems do not burn, do not carry flames and do not generate poisonous(halogen, etc.) gas incase of fire. Cable systems can burn and enable fire to split out in the

buildings (especially required in high-rise buildings and shopping centers).

6 Busbar systems have no chimney effect, because of compact structure (KB type) or pre-installed

inner fire barriers (KO type).

7 Busbar trunking systems have the advantage of expansions, changes, replacements and re-

using capability in the future. According to the future needs, design of busbar system can bechanged easily or fully/partially moved to another establishment.

8 Installation time is much shorter than cable systems. This provides low installation and

manpower costs and helps for better time management.

9 During design stage of the building, busbar systems reduce the cost of other systems;a) Reduce amount of CABLE TRAYS,

b) Reduce number of DISTRIBUTION BOARDS. It is possible to feed loads (machinery,

floors, etc.) directly with tap-off boxes,

c) Reduce the DIMENSIONS of MAIN PANEL BOARDS,

d) Reduce number of the MCCBs / MCBs,e) Cancel many ACCESSORIES used for cable systems,

f) Make easy to prepare projects and reduce PROJECT PREPERATION TIME.

10 With robust structure, short circuit stand is much higherthan cable systems. (For example; for

3000A busbar, 264 kA peak and 120kA/rms)

11 Especially for high ampere rates, compact structure reduces the distance of conductors

axis and this reduces inductive reactance. Result of low resistance and impedance, voltage

drop is much lower than cable.

12 The compact structure and steel sheet housing allows much lower electromagnetic field

around busbar system than cables. Data cables can safely install high current rated busbars

near. Busbars do not generate electromagnetic interference on data system.

13 Usually, more than one cable is used for the same phase connection, especially for highampere rates. Busbar systems eliminate length differences between conductors and

provide equal load on each line.

14 With busbar system, its easy, economic and safe to collect energy on the line with

tap off boxes where needed. Location of these Tap-off boxes can be easily and safely

changed according to future needs. Also, number of tap off boxes can be increased

15 Busbar systems are consisted of fully certified standard elements and designed to

eliminate possible human mistakes. Such as tap off boxes/plugs are tested and certified parts

of a busbar system and complies all safety requirements. Securities of all tap-off boxes are

standard and does not change depend on the installer. Safeties of cable systems connections

are depended on experiment of installer person.

16 Busbars cannot be bitten and damaged by various animals, which may live in the

buildings (rats, etc.). Because, housing is steel sheet and it is not delicious.

Conclusion:

Considering the facts above;busbar trunkings has great advantages like better electrical specs,

shorter and easier installation, reduced costs, time and space, easy

maintenance management and various high protections.
