End Cable Tap Boxes are used to cable con-nect incoming service to BD Busway. Whenmounting busway sections flush against awall or a flat surface, the busway must bemounted with the offset to the right of theinstaller. This will permit the end cable tapbox to mount flush against the wall. BDBusway end cable tap boxes are providedwith robust wire bending space to makepulling cables less labor intensive.

BD BuswayTypical Specifications1.0 General

A.Furnish and install a complete low impedance prefabricated busway distribution system as shown on the plans.

B.Busway shall be ____volts____phase____wire.C.The ampere ratings, approximate footage, fitting,

plug-in units, etc., are shown on the plans. The electrical contractor shall be responsible for routing the busway to coordinate with the other trades. Final field measurements shall be made by the contractor prior to release of the busway for fabrication.

2.0 Short-Circuit Rating and TestsA.The short-circuit rating of the busway shall be

(consulting engineer’s calculated required ratings), RMS symmetrical amperes which is the ultimate anticipated short-circuit current available at the source.

B.The short-circuit rating of the busway shall be determined according to UL Standard No. 857. This rating must be based upon actual tests at the rated short-circuit current for three (3) cycles.

3.0 Basic ConstructionA.Housing

1. The busway housing shall be formed of two identical halves of cold rolled steel, painted with polyester urethane powder paint to provide protection against corrosion.

2. The busway housing shall be totally enclosed non-ventilated for protection against mechanical damage and dust accumulation.

3. Casing ends and busbars of adjacent sections shall overlap to form a scarf lap joint.

B.Joint1.Each bus-bar shall be individually bolted to secure electrical connection.2.It shall be possible to disconnect any joint connection to allow physical removal of busway length without disturbing adjacent busway lengths.

C.Bus-bars1. The bus-bars shall be tin plated at all contact

surfaces.2. The temperature rise at any point in the busway

shall not exceed 55°C rise above ambient temperature when operating at rated load current.

3. Busbars shall be air insulated.4. Block type high impact non-tracking insulators

shall be used with the casing to support the busbars, retard the travel of power surges and increase the strength of the busway against short-circuit forces.

D.Plug-in Openings1. On plug-in busway plug-in openings shall be

spaced on 24-inch centers along both sides of busway and across the joints.

2. All openings shall be usable simultaneously.3. Busway shall be installed so that plugs are side

mounted to permit practical use of all ten plug-in openings.

4. It shall be possible to inspect the plug-in opening and bus-bars prior to the installation of the plug-in unit.

E.Support of Busway1. Hanger spacing shall be noted on layout

drawings and shall not exceed manufacturers recommendations.

2. Two hangers shall be provided with each busway section for convenient installation.

F.Underwriter’s Laboratory Listing1. All straight lengths, fittings, and plug-in units shall

be listed and marked in accordance with UL Standard No. 857.

4.0 Voltage DropA.The voltage drop (input voltage minus output voltage)

specified shall be based on the busway operating at full rated current at stabilized operating temperature in25°C ambient temperature.

B.The three-phase, line-to-line voltage drop shall not exceed 3.78 volts per hundred feet at 90% power factorconcentrated load, which condition may exist during motor starting.

5.0 Plug-in UnitsA.Plug-in units shall be____circuit breaker type

or____fusible switch type with quick-make/quick-break mechanism.

B.Plug-in units which cannot be operated directly from the floor shall be equipped with suitable means for hookstick operation.

C.The interrupting rating of circuit breaker plug-in units shall be [ ] RMS symmetrical amperes.

6.0 Plug-in Unit Safety DevicesA.Each plug-in unit shall be mechanically interlocked

with the busway housing to prevent installation or removal of plug-in units while the switch is in the ON position.

B.Plug-in enclosures shall make positive ground connection with the ground bus before the contact fingers make contact with the phase bars.

C.The plug-in units shall be equipped with internal barriers to prevent accidental contact of fish tape and conductors with live parts on the line side of the protective device during time of wire pulling.

D.Covers of all plug-in units must have “releasable” typeinterlocks to prevent the cover from being opened when the switch is in the ON position.

7.0 QualityA.All busway products shall be manufactured in a facility

which is Quality registered to ISO9001.

8.0 Approved SuppliersA.All major components shall be of the same

manufacturer as the busway. The busway and plug-in units shall be manufactured by Siemens, . . .
