Metal Enclosed Non-Segregated Bus Duct

Industry Standards

Description
Non-segregated phase bus duct is designed for interconnecting groups of metal-enclosed or metal-clad
switchgear, power transformers or other related
equipment. The bus duct is designed, manufactured,
and tested in accordance with ANSI/IEEE Standard
C37.23.
Bar type copper conductors are provided for 600 volt,
5kV, 15kV and 38kV classes. Aluminum conductors
are available as an option.
All necessary equipment, connection flanges, wall
entrance seals, transformer and/or equipment
terminations, tap boxes, elbows, offsets, wall supports,
splicing materials, terminal connectors, and structural
steel support system included to make a complete
installation.
Custom engineered for each application.

Notes:
1. Ampere ratings are based upon a maximun conductor rise of 650 C in a 400 C ambient in compliance with the temperature limits of ANSI / IEEE C37.23.
2. Resistance,watt loss,and impedance values are calculated using a maximum conductor temperature rise of 650C and a normal 200C ambient.
3. Weights and dimensions are for standard 3 phase totally enclosed non-ventilated aluminum enclosures.
