    Metal enclosed busduct is used to connect electrical equipment like generators, transformers, and switchgear. There are three types: non-segregated, phase segregated, and isolated phase. Non-segregated busduct has air insulation between phases and is used for voltages up to 660V. Phase segregated busduct has insulated phase barriers and is used for voltages up to 6.6kV. Isolated phase busduct has a separate enclosure for each phase and is used for voltages of 11kV and higher. Selection of the busduct depends on factors like voltage rating, current rating, fault level, and ambient conditions. Materials commonly used include copper or aluminum for busbars and steel or aluminum for enclosures.

    METAL ENCLOSED BUSDUCT

    Definition
    Metal enclosed busduct is an assembly of busbars with
    associated connections, joints and insulator supports within
    an earthed metal enclosure.

    Classification
    • Non-Segregated
    • Phase Segregated
    • Isolated Phase
    Application

    • Connection between Generator and Generator


    Transformer;

    • Connection between Transformer and Switchgear;

    • Connection between one Switchgear to another


    Switchgear.

    • Economical point of view: When the current rating


    required is high and length is short.
    Non-Segregated Phase Busduct

    • Air is the only insulating medium between three


    phases.

    • Recommended up-to 660V systems with current


    ratings up-to 4000A.

    • Specifically use for connection between secondary side


    of distribution transformer and LV switchgear.

    415V, 4000A, 50KA for 1 Sec
    Phase-Segregated Busduct

    • Insulated phase barriers are provided;

    • On high voltage systems up-to 6.6kV with current


    ratings up-to 4000A.

    • Specifically use for connection between secondary side


    of Power / distribution transformer and MV
    switchgear, tie between MV switchgear.
    Isolated Phase Busduct

    • Separate enclosure for each;

    • On systems 11kV and higher with current ratings over


    4000A.

    • Specially for generator leads (current>400A), IPBDs are


    recommended.
    IPBD

    Continuous Non-Continuous

    • Up-to 8000A rating may be left to the manufacturers of


    busduct & the selection based on availability,
    optimisation of capital cost & loss evaluation.

    • Current rating over 8000A, only continuous type is


    recommended to minimise the inductive heating of
    supporting structures etc. & associated losses.

    Voltage Rating of the Busduct
    Voltage class of the Busduct may be selected from one of the following
    standard ratings and shall be at least equal to the maximum voltage
    rating of the associated equipment:

    0.66, 3.6, 7.2, 12, 24 and 36kV

    Continuous Current Rating


    Rated r.m.s. continuous current carrying capacity shall be at least equal
    to the maximum current capability of the associated equipment (Which
    may be higher than nominal rated current) rounded off to the nearest
    higher standard current rating of the busduct.
    Preferred standard current ratings are 100, 250, 400, 630, 800, 1250,
    1600, 2000, 3150, 4000, 5000, 6300, 8000, 10000, 12500 and 15000A.
    Short time Current Rating
    Rated r.m.s. short time current ratings of the busbar shall correspond to
    the fault level of the system. The time shall take into consideration the
    operating time of backup protective devices on the incoming side but
    the duration shall not be less than 1 sec.

    Momentary peak current rating shall be 2.55 times the short time r.m.s.
    current rating of the busduct.
    Temperature rise
    Voltage The temperature rise of the conductor shall be as per IS-8084.
    Also the temperature of the busduct shall not exceed 2500C while
    carrying the specified short circuit current for 1 sec when fault occurs, at
    the operating temperature.
    Bus support Insulator
    Busbar support insulators are enclosed, the creepage distances & height
    of insulators shall be the highest feasible and shall not be less than those
    for heavily polluted atmosphere as per IS:2544 & IS:5350 (Part-I)
    respectively to allow for dust accumulation and moisture condensation
    which can occur. Station/Post type insulator shall be used for supporting
    buses in metal enclosed busduct.

    Terminations
    Flexible connections such as braided or laminated flexible joints for
    conductors and rubber bellows for enclosures shall be used for
    termination of busuct at the terminal of generator, transformer,
    switchgear etc. and similar flexible connections for conductors and
    metallic or rubber bellows with metallic shorting for enclosures shall be
    used in the run of the busuct such that they allow for vibrations &
    thermal expansion and do not impose any stress on terminal and
    bushings.
    Cooling
    Busduct shall be normally natural cooled (AN). Forced cooling may be
    considered beyond 10000A rating as per IS:8084.

    Material for Bus and Enclosure


    •. Bus bar shall be either of copper or aluminium
    conductor.

    • Copper conductor shall be of hard drawn (HD), high


    conductivity conforming to IS:613.

    • Aluminium conductors shall be of aluminium alloy


    grade 63401WP conforming to IS:5082.
    • Material of enclosure for segregated & non-segregated
    type busduct shall be mild steel or aluminium.

    • If the location where the busduct (Where mild steel


    are used for enclosure ) is to be installed is having
    corrosive atmosphere, it shall be galvanised after
    fabrication or it shall be painted preferably with epoxy
    based paint.

    • For isolated phase type of busduct, the enclosure


    material shall be of aluminium alloy grade 63401WP
    conforming to IS:5082.
    Popularity of Aluminium Busduct over copper busduct:

    • Aluminium is cheaper to use than copper.

    • Aluminium has les than one-third the density of


    copper. Weight of aluminium bus bar only half as much
    as copper bar of equal current capacity. The light
    weight of aluminium is of advantage in other ways too:
    for instance, it allows easier handling, transportation &
    erection.

    • Outstanding resistance to corrosion, thus permitting its


    widespread use in electro-chemical & electroplating
    process where the atmosphere is highly corrosive.
    • “Self-stifling” property.

    • Nevertheless, Aluminium is the cheapest Non-


    magnetic metal. Hence suitable material for enclosure
    also.
