1. Introduction
NSPB (non-segregated phase bus) LV, MV is an assembly of bus conductors with associated connections, joints and insulating
supports confined within a metal enclosure without inter-phase barriers.
The insulation property of NSPB LV-MV is very reliable, because bus bars are adequately separated and insulated with
EPOXY from each other.
To optimize bus bar supports and bus bar size, LSC use mechanical, thermal and electrical analysis. NSPB LV-MV is designed
and produced for IEEE C 37.23 and IEC 62271-200, and has certification of PT & T (LSIS, KOLAS) and KERI (Korea electro
technology research institute) about short-circuit strength, dielectric properties and temperature-rise limits.

HOUSING
Housing of NSPB LV-MV is usually Aluminum Alloy, but user can optionally choose SPCC (three-planes) and STS (one
plane). Housing is basically painted with 5Y/7/1, but user can customize its various colors. And the paint of housing and plate
are certificated by RoHS. To prevent dew condensation, LSC use SPACE HEATER and AIR VENTILATION in outdoor
products.

GROUNDING SYSTEM
Aluminum housing has PE(Protect Earth) function. Whereas user wants SPCC, additional Ground Bar can be applied. Fault
current that is caused by ground accident can be flowed out through ground bar so that it can maintain its performance in
contact with body and others.

CONDUCTOR
Bus conductors are fixed by bolted connections, which surfaces are tin-plated. Bus conductors can continuously carry the rated
current without exceeding the hottest temperature rise of 65 over the outside ambient temperature at 40.

CONDUCTOR INSULATION
The insulation of bus bars is Epoxy powder coated by Fluidized method. Total thickness after insulation becomes 1~1.2mm.
The process of insulating shall be performed under clean condition and the insulation class is B (130).

CONDUCTOR SUPPORTORS
SUPPORTING INSULATOR
Epoxy mold which has good electric and mechanic properties is applied to bus bars supports. To maintain the stability in shortcircuit condition; it is optimized by using CAE (Computer Aided Engineering) analysis. It is made of highly-effective (high
endurance and fire resistance) and eco-friendly materials.

SILICONE SPACER
To support bus bars, silicone is applied with epoxy mold. Silicone can contribute to both the ease of assembling and impactabsorbing by short-circuit condition. Additionally, it can reduce the rattling noise that caused by bus bar vibration during
operation.

APPLIED STANDARD
IEEE C 37.23 : Metal-Enclosed Bus.
IEC 62271-200 : AC metal-enclosed switchgear and controlgear for rated voltages above 1kV and up to and including 52kV.

TEMPERATURE RISE
The bus will be capable of carrying rated current continuously without exceeding a conductor temperature rise of 65C over an
outside ambient temperature of 40C, as required by IEEE C 37.23.

SHORT CIRCUIT WITHSTAND ABILITY

NSPB LV-MV are designed to withstand electrical and mechanical forces generated by momentary peak (during 10 cycle) and
short-time (LV : 1sec., MV : 2 sec.) short circuit currents in accordance with the latest IEEE C 37.23. For LV application, 4cycle momentary current withstand rating up to 50 kA (rms symmetrical) is also available.

1.1 Product Description

Splice Joint
Conductors are tin-plated for maximum conductivity (silver-plating is optional).
While the higher ratings use two conductors per phase, adjacent sections are electrically bonded together by means of plated
copper splice plates to provide electrical continuity. All splice joints should be fastened by 250kg.cm torque.

Bolt-Nut Boot Connection

Bolt-nuts of Bus joints are insulated with a flame-retardant PVC boot, easily removable for joint inspection.

2. Specification and Dimension

2.1 Construction
Bus joints are solidly made by bolting the bus bars together with splice plates on each side. All joint surfaces are tin-plated or
silver-plated to ensure maximum conductivity through the joint.
After bolting, each standard joint is covered by a preformed, flame-retardant insulating bolt-nut boots so that it can provide full
insulation for bus conductors (5 kV and above). These boots are easily removable for inspection of the joints at any future time.
The copper bus bars are mounted on supports of track resistant, flame-retardant reinforced epoxy support. If boots are not
available for connection, taping the joint will be required.
