Exclusive features of the Schneider Electric system
PD202373
Total coordination of the Schneider Electric system provides maximum safety of life
and property, continuity of service, upgradeability and ease of installation.
Total coordination is made easy by the tables in the “Selection Guide”. They help you
chose the right combination of circuit breakers and busbar trunking.
Product characteristics are checked by calculations and tests carried out in our
laboratories.
A competitive installation.
Simplicity, upgradeability, safety and continuity of service and operation.
Savings start with installation

With tap-off points every 3 metres, Canalis busbar trunking reduces installation
costs.
Given the low cost of adding new circuits, savings increase as the number of loads
increases, a natural consequence of the growth of your business.
DD205658
Upgradeable during operation

In decentralised distribution, evolving operating requirements and costs are
integrated right from the start.
b The addition, relocation or replacement of load equipment can be carried out
quickly, without de-energising the supply trunking or shutting down operation.
b The cost of making such changes is greatly reduced:
v loads are located close to supply points
v tap-off points are always available
v tap-units can be reused or new ones added quickly for load relocation or
replacement needs.
Reusable in the event of major changes

When making major modifications to your installation, the existing trunking can be
easily dismantled and reused.
13
For decentralised distribution
in tune with your needs!
DD221022
for small sites
Maximum power available throughout the
installation.
The main busbar trunking distributes the full power of
the source.
Continuity and flexibility

The large number of tap-off points makes it easy to
supply new loads.
Anyone can connect and disconnect loads quickly and
safely.
These additions or modifications are carried out without
shutting down the installation.
Thanks to rational design, the reliability of Canalis

trunking installations is far less dependent on
installation skills.
Canalis is an industrial product. Stringent inspection at
all stages of production ensures a long service life.

for large sites
The simplicity of decentralised distribution
systems
The distribution system can be designed without
detailed knowledge of load locations. Only the source
and load characteristics are needed.
Trunking is selected in advance with optimum results.
Easy upgrading
Canalis can easily adapt to installation modifications or
extensions. Simply move an existing tap-off unit or add
a new one at the desired location.
Total safety
Tap-units can be connected and disconnected without
de-energising the trunking.
Changes can therefore be made safely on live
installations:
b protection against direct contact
b mismatch prevention for tap-off units and automatic
compatibility between the performance levels of tap-
units equipped with circuit breakers and the prospective
short-circuit current at the point of installation.

Halogen-sensitive applications
b Public buildings (infrastructures, hospitals, schools, etc.).
b Buildings with evacuation difficulties (high-rises, ships, etc.) and service-activity
buildings.
b Sensitive processes (production of electronic components, etc.).
Canalis contains no PVCs

When PVCs burn, they produce large amounts of smoke that can be a serious safety
hazard.
b Reduced visibility:
v risk of panic
v complicates rescue work
b Smoke toxicity:
Example: v hydrogen chloride gas (highly toxic)

distribution by cables.
200 kg of cables (i.e. 20 kg of PVC) produces:
b 4400 m3 of smoke
b 7.5 m3 of hydrochloric acid
b 3.7 kg of corroded steel.
Health
Canalis reduces the risk of exposure to electromagnetic fields
DD205674
According to the WHO (World Health Organisation), exposure to electromagnetic

fields can be a health hazard starting at levels as low as 0.2 micro-Teslas and could
represent a long-term risk of cancer. Some countries have created standards that
stipulate limits (e.g. 0.2 µT at 1 metre in Sweden).
All electrical conductors generate magnetic fields proportional to the distance

between them. The design of Canalis busbar trunking with tightly spaced conductors
in a metal enclosure helps to considerably reduce radiated electromagnetic fields.
The electromagnetic field characteristics of Canalis busbar trunking are well-defined

and measurements show that they are far below potentially dangerous levels.
You will find the magnetic induction values of our products on the “Characteristics”
pages.

Canalis, in total harmony with the
environment!
Environment Canalis is fully recyclable

b Canalis busbar trunking can be reused.
Canalis busbar trunking is designed for a long service life and can easily be
DD205673
dismantled, cleaned and reused.

b All packaging materials can be recycled (cardboard or recyclable polyethylene
film).
b All Canalis products are designed for safe end-of-life recycling. PVC, on the other
hand, requires neutralisation of the hydrochloric acid produced using lime and
generates dioxins that are extremely toxic.
Canalis helps conserve natural resources

The depletion of raw materials (copper, plastics, etc.) is one of our ongoing concerns.
For this reason, we have optimised the used of all materials used to make our busbar
trunking.
b Reduction of dangerous or polluting materials. We design our products to meet
future European directives.
Example: b Reduction in the weight of insulating materials.
1 kg of PVC generates 1 kg of waste. b Reduction in the use of plastics for improved fire performance: less energy
released during combustion, thereby limiting propagation and facilitating extinction
(lower calorific value).
Conservation of natural Canalis reduces your line losses by 20 %

Canalis divides your consumption of plastic by a factor of four
resources The cost of an electrical installation includes the initial investment for the equipment
and its installation, the cost of maintenance and the cost of energy losses during
operation.
The concept of decentralised distribution is a way to merge all the circuits in one and
thus to reduce to the maximum the low cross-section lengths and the weight of
insulating materials.

34 m of Canalis KS 250 A trunking equipped with 14-pole 25 A feeders.

Selection of lighting levels

The table below indicates the necessary illumination in lux for different tasks.
In general, a higher level of illumination is required when:
b work involves small parts,
b objects are dark,
b the task requires a high level of visual attention,
b work is carried out at high speeds.
DD210496
Selection of light sources

Visual comfort depends on the level of illumination (in lux) and the colour
temperature (in degrees Kelvin).
The Kruithof diagram below can be used to make an optimum choice.
The blue zone represents a comfortable environment.

Intensive Extensive Selection of the lighting system

Direct lighting is used in offices, workshops and factories.
DD240006
Semi-direct and indirect lighting is generally reserved for exhibitions, auditoriums,

etc.
On industrial premises, direct lighting is generally used, from the most intensive to
the most extensive, i.e. from class A to class J according to standards UTE 71-120
and 121.
Tables A and B determine the photometric class of luminaires depending on the
Class A to Class J
rating of the sources and the illuminance.

Distribution of light sources

The maximum distance between two luminaires is indicated in the table below, taking
into account the photometric class and the height h.
DD210498
Luminaire class Maximum distance between two luminaires

A e = 0.90 x h
B e = 1.00 x h
C e = 1.10 x h
D e = 1.20 x h
E e = 1.30 x h
F e = 1.40 x h
G e = 1.45 x h
H e = 1.50 x h
I e = 1.50 x h
J e = 1.50 x h
Distribution is determined by the position of work stations (caution concerning

reflection), which in turn determines the number of luminaires, on the condition that

Total luminous flux

DD210499
The total luminous flux required for the desired illuminance in a room is provided by
the equation below:
F: Total luminous flux required (in lumens).

(Lumen: quantity of light per second reaching the working plane).
E: Illuminance (in lux).
(1 lux = 1 lumen/m2).
S: Surface area of room (in m2).
d: Depreciation factor taking into account ageing of light sources and of the room (1.3
to 1.5).
u: The walls and ceiling absorb a part of the flux emitted by the light sources. The
utilisation factor is the ratio between the luminous flux reaching the working plane
and that emitted by the lamps.
b It depends on:
v room proportions according to the K index:
v reflectance factors of the walls and ceiling,

v flux distribution of the luminaires.

b height: 6 m.
Selection of light sources taking into account the long daily use and the luminaire
installation height set at 5 metres.
Luminaires in photometric class E are selected (table B, page Sec2:31).
Distribution of luminaires
Distance between two class E luminaires: e = 1.30 x h = 1.30 x 5 = 6.5 m.

Overload protection
Precalculating XLPE or PVC cables + Canalis

Drawn from the Ecodial low-voltage installation-calculation software, the information
provided here assists in defining busbar trunking (cables and Canalis) and their
protection in compliance with installation standards and calculation guide.
Protection of the main busbar trunking (cable + Canalis)

b The tables below may be used to determine:
v the rated current (In) or the setting current (Ir) of the overload-protection devices,
v the rated current (Inc) of Canalis,
v the thermal minimum cross-section of cables.
b These three characteristics are defined for the following installation conditions:
v maximum ambient temperature 30°C,
v cables placed in cable trays. Layout as a single horizontal layer or in groups of 2
or 3 cores.
Tap-off protection
Canalis tap-offs must have overload protection. The tap-off is created using a fused
tap-off unit to protect the cable (C3) and the device against short-circuits.
This protection offers good discrimination during operation (continuity of service,
trouble-shooting, etc.).
For lighting, it may be useful to take advantage of the possibilities for dispensing
with or remotely locating the protection, offered by standard IEC 60-364-4-43
(§ 433 and 434) and summarised in the texts below, drawn from UTE C 15-107.
The tap-off is created using a pre-wired tap-off unit.
Supply to devices not subject to overloads

Exemption possibilities:
b the C3 cable (connection to the device) does not need to be protected against
overloads (NF C 15-100, 473.1.2b) or short-circuits (NF C 15-100, 473.2.2.1)
because the cable :
v is not subject to overload currents,
v does not have tap-offs or power sockets,
v is less than or equal to three metres,
v is designed to reduce to a minimum the risk of short-circuits,
v is not located near any flammable material.
DD205016
Example: luminaires, convectors, etc.
Supply to devices with built-in overload protection

Exemption possibilities:
b the device P2 protecting C3 cable against overloads is not positioned at the head
(NF C 15-100, 473.1.1.2 b) of C3 because the latter:
v does not have tap-offs or power sockets,
v is less than or equal to three metres,
v is designed to reduce to a minimum the risk of short-circuits,
v is not located near any flammable material.
DD205017
NB: P1 - P2 are short-circuit protection devices.

(1) Wherever possible, voltage drops in final lighting circuits must not exceed 3 %. When the main
busbar trunking in the installation is longer than 100 metres, the permissible values may be
increased 0.005 % per metre of trunking over 100 metres, on the condition that the total addition
not exceed 0.5 %.
b Convert into volts the % of the rated voltage (Un) assigned to each circuit.
b Using the tables, check that the trunking and/or cables selected in the previous
pages are compatible with the calculated voltage drops.
Otherwise, it is necessary to increase the size of the cables.
Remarks
b In a mixed circuit, the most economical option is to increase the size of cables and
avoid the use of prefabricated trunking with a higher rated current (Inc).
b For certain loads, it may be necessary to take into account transient voltage drops.

2 Layout the Canalis structure in the building according to the load locations.
3 Carry out a power sum.
4 Size the busbar trunking.
1 Identify external influences

The ambient temperature, the presence of dust or condensation, etc. are all factors
in defining the degree of protection for the room containing the electrical installation.
Canalis prefabricated busbar trunking provides an IP55 degree of protection and can
be installed on virtually all sites.
b Examples:
v mechanical workshops: IP32,

2 Layout of Canalis busbar trunking

Layout of the distribution lines depends on load and source locations as well as
DD210067
trunking fixing possibilities.
b A single distribution line can supply a zone four to six metres long.
b Load protection is located in the tap-off units, as close as possible to the loads.
b A single Canalis feeder can supply a set of loads with different power ratings.
3 Power sum
Once the busbar trunking has been laid out, calculate the currents drawn by the
Canalis lines.
Calculation of the total operational current drawn by the line
(In) is equal to the sum of the currents drawn by the loads (Ib): In = Σ Ib.
The loads do not all operate at the same time or continuously at full rated load, i.e. it
is necessary to calculate the diversity coefficient (KS): In = Σ (Ib x KS).
Diversity coefficient as a function of the number of loads

Caution. For industrial installations, remember to allow for changes in types and numbers of
machines. Similar to a switchboard, a margin of 20 % is recommended:

4 Sizing the busbar trunking

Overload criterion
Ambient temperature
Canalis busbar trunking is sized for an ambient temperature of 35°C. For higher
temperatures, the trunking must be derated as per the data in the tables on the
technical characteristics.
Example: Canalis 400 A KSA at 45°C: In = 400 x 0.94 = 376 A.
Installation method
Canalis KN and KS trunking is designed to be installed edgewise.
In certain cases, it can also be installed flat (false floors) or vertically (KS rising
mains).
These installation methods do not require derating for the KN and KS trunking.
Protection against trunking overloads
To enable future extensions, protection for prefabricated busbar trunking is generally
sized for the rated current Inc (or the permissible current Iz if coefficient K1 is applied
as a function of the ambient temperature).
b Protection using gG (gI) flues:
v determine the standardised rated current In of the fuse such that In y Inc/1,1
(K1=1,1 for the fuses),
v select the standardised rating In equal to that value or just below.
Check that In u Σ (Ib x KS). If that is not the case, select the busbar trunking with the
next highest rating.
Nota : Protection using gI fuses results in a reduction of the permissible current in the trunking.
b Circuit-breaker protection: select the setting current Ir for the circuit breaker such
that Σ (Ib x KS) y Ir y Inc.
Nota : Circuit-breaker protection means Canalis busbar trunking can be used to the full rated
load.
Voltage-drop criterion
The voltage drop between the head and any other point in the installation must not
exceed the values in the table below:
Installation supplied by a distribution network Lighting Other application
LV public system 3% 5%
High voltage 6% 8%
For Canalis, voltage drops are indicated in V/100 m/A in the “Characteristics”
section.
U = Σ (Ib x KS) x L / 100

Example: “Characteristics” page for KN, 40 to 160 A

40 A 63 A 100 A 160 A

0,8 V/100 m/A 0.425 0.179 0.084 0.067

1 V/100 m/A 0,516 0.208 0.088 0.068
Short-circuit current criterion

For typical applications with power ratings up to 630 kVA, a Merlin Gerin solution
including the low-voltage electrical switchboard, circuit breakers and Canalis busbar
trunking ensures an installation sized to handle all short-circuit levels encountered.
To check the configuration of your installation (Isc up to 150 kA), refer to the
coordination tables on page 306 to page 308.
We also invite you to discover Ecodial, our complete design software for low-voltage
installations (selection of circuit breakers and cables, calculation of breaking
capacities, short-circuit currents and voltage drops, etc.), available from your
Schneider Electric representative.

Determining the degree of protection
Standard IEC 60364-5-51 categorises a Degree of protection IP

large number of external influences to which Standard IEC 60529 (February 2001) indicates the degree of protection provided by
electrical installations can be subjected, for electrical equipment enclosures against accidental direct contact with live parts and
against the ingress of solid foreign objects or water.

vary from a few drops to total immersion.
The first numeral characterises the protection of the equipment against penetration
of solid objects and the protection of people.
The second numeral characterises the protection of the equipment against
penetration of water with harmful effects.
Remarks concerning the degree of protection IP

b The degree of protection IP must always be read and understood numeral by
numeral and not as a whole.
For example, an IP31 enclosure is suitable for an environment that requires a
minimum degree of protection IP21. However an IP30 wall-mount enclosure is not
suitable.
b The degrees of protection indicated in this catalogue are valid for the enclosures
as presented. However, the indicated degree of protection is guaranteed only when
the installation and device mounting are carried out in accordance with professional
standard practice.
Additional letter
Protection of persons against direct contact with live parts.
The additional letter is used only if the actual protection of persons is higher than that
indicated by the first characteristic numeral of the IP code.
If only the protection of persons is of interest, the two characteristic numerals are
replaced by the letter “X”, e.g. IPXXB.
Degree of protection IK
Standard IEC 62262 defines a coding system (IK code) indicating the degree of
protection provided by electrical equipment enclosures against external mechanical
impact.
Installation standard IEC 60364 provides a cross-reference between the various

degrees of protection and the environmental conditions classification, relating to the
selection of equipment according to external factors.
IK codepp
The IK code comprises 2 characteristic numerals (e.g. IK05).
Practical guide UTE C 15-103 shows, in the form of tables, the characteristics
required for electrical equipment (including minimum degrees of protection),
according to the locations in which they are installed.

Canalis KDP is halogen free

In the event of a fire, cable and conductor insulation containing halogens (chlorine,
DD210080
bromine, etc.) releases dark, toxic and corrosive smoke. The latter can cause panic,
difficulties for rescue teams, intoxication and severe damage to electronic and
computer equipment.
KDP trunking, halogen free, avoids the above risks.
Run components
Carry the current and supply lighting fixtures.
The run components consist of:
1 A flat ribbon cable conforming to standard IEC 60502-1 with 3 or 5 x 2.5 mm2
DD210155
conductors, including one protective conductor. The copper conductors are tin-
plated to protect against corrosion. Canalis KDP is available in 24-metre, 183-
metre (special for 1350 mm tap-off unit spacing) or 192-metre reels. The 192-
metre reel contains eight spools, clipped together, each containing 24 metres of
cable. For easy installation and use of the uncoiler kit (see above), it is
recommended that KDP be ordered in multiples of 24 metres.
2 Tap-off outlets, factory fitted. These can receive all tap-off units in the KBA and
KBB ranges and ensure electrical connection of the tap-off units.
The degree of protection of the assembly is IP55.
Available distances between tap-off outlets: 1.2 m, 1.35 m, 1.5 m, 2.4 m, 2.7 m and
3 m.
All the insulating and plastic materials have increased fire-retardant capacity:
b incandescent-wire test in compliance with IEC 60695-2:
v 960°C for components in contact with live parts,
v 650°C for other components.
KDP is certified to be non-flame-propagating in compliance with standard
IEC 60332-3.
The system as a whole complies with standard IEC 60439-2.
Feed units and end covers

After stripping the KDP cable, the connection is made by means of a screw terminal
DD210125
for copper cable with a maximum c.s.a. of 4 mm2.

These components are fitted with a PG 16 cable gland. They are locked in the closed
position by a screw.
They can be used to supply the run from either side and for connecting two KDP runs.
Each feed unit is supplied with an end cover for the opposite end of the run.
The system as a whole complies with standard IEC 60439-2.
Uncoiler kit
DD210154
Makes for easy installation of KDP trunking by allowing the cable to be rolled out from
the reel.
It can be used with all standard roller-type uncoilers.
It clips onto the packing spools and can be removed for re-use.

Straight lengths
DD210476
Straight lengths constitute the basic structure of the line and are made up of:
1 an all-in-one carrier casing, crimp closed, forming a rigid beam made of sheet
steel, hot galvanised on both sides. This casing also acts as the protective earth
conductor (PE). As an option (code W), the casing is available in RAL 9010 white
lacquered sheet steel,
2 a ribbon cable with two or four copper conductors, protected against corrosion by
tinning,
3 one, two, three or five tap-off outlets,
4 an electrical jointing unit ensuring automatic and simultaneous connection of all
live conductors,
5 a mechanical joining device made of galvanised sheet steel that makes the
connection of two lengths rigid and resistant to bending.
The degree of protection is IP55 (without accessories).
The busbar trunking is non-flame-propagating as per the recommendations of

standard IEC 60332-3. All the insulating and plastic materials are halogen-free and
have enhanced fire-withstand capabilities (incandescent wire test as per standard
IEC 60695-2).

Clean earth option (Code E)
As an option, a factory-fitted dedicated earth conductor
isolated from the grounding is available. This is known
DD202264
as a Clean Earth and has a cross-section of 6 mm2.
1 The clean earth is always provided on the main
circuit of KBB busbar trunking, on the front panel
(side with label and 3 tap-offs on KBB with 2
circuits). The symbol, which appears at regular
intervals near to the tap-off outlets, serves as a
reminder of the special nature of this circuit.
2 The electrical jointing unit is supplied with additional
clean earth contacts. Thus, installation of
components fitted with option E does not require any
additional assembly operation.
3 The receivers are connected using a standard 16 A
(KBC 16DCBpp ou DCFpp).
4 The feed boxes are fitted with clean earth (labelled
)et PE (labelled ) terminals.

Factory mounted, an SELV remote-control circuit
DD210389
(U 50 V) is available for the loads supplied by the KBB

trunking. The main applications are:
b remote control (rest mode or testing) of self-
contained emergency lighting units,
b dimmer control,
b transmission on a building automation bus (please
contact us).
The system is built in compliance with European
standard EN 60439-2 and the LV and EMC directives.

Low-power distribution
IP55
Ue = 230...500 V
RAL 9001 white
Canalis KN is designed for low-power distribution.

There are two versions:
DD210183
b Canalis KNA: busbar trunking with four live conductors (3L + N + PE),
for distribution up to 160 A,
b Canalis KNT: identical to KNA, but equipped with a transmission bus with three 2.5
mm2 conductors (except 160 A).
This bus can be used to set up simple control/monitoring systems (lighting or other
loads).
The degree of protection of KNA and KNT trunking is IP55.
All the insulating and plastic materials are halogen-free and have enhanced fire-
withstand capabilities
b incandescent wire test as per standard IEC 60695-2:
Straight lengths
Carry the current and supply low-power loads.
1 a carrier casing, crimp closed, made of hot-galvanised sheet steel, pre-lacquered RAL 9001 white. This rail also acts as the protective earth
conductor (PE),
2 an insulated mounting casing, supporting the live conductors,
3 four live aluminium conductors, equipped with silver-plated aluminium/copper bimetal contacts at junctions and tap-off points,
4 tap-off outlets with automatic shutters that open and close automatically when tap-off units are installed or removed. They are equipped
with blanking plugs to maintain the degree of protection IP55. There are one or two tap-offs per metre, depending on the version,
5 a mechanical and electrical jointing system. Electrical connection is via flexible grip contacts made of silver-plated copper. The system
ensures automatic and simultaneous connection of all live conductors and the continuity of the protective earth conductor,
6 three copper bus conductors (Canalis KNT for the complementary offer).
DD210184
Feed units
Supply a Canalis KN line, via a cable.
They can be mounted at the end of a line (end feed) or
DD210182
in the middle (central feed).

These units are made of moulded plastic for the 40,
63 and 100 A ratings and metal for the 160 A rating.
They are equipped with:
b terminals for 16 mm2 copper cables on the 63 A feed
units, copper contacts for 35 mm2 lugs on the 100 A
feed units and for 95 mm2 lugs on the 160 A feed units,
b multi-diameter knock-outs until 100 A rating and
cable-gland plates for the 160 A rating,
b a 3 x 2.5 mm2 terminal block for connection of the
remote-transmission cable (Canalis KNT).
1 End feed units
They are equipped with a mechanical and electrical
locating system (polarisation), making it possible to
supply a run from the right or the left. They are supplied
with an end cover.
2 Central feed units
They are supplied with two end covers.

Components for changing direction

For changes in direction and detours around obstacles
(posts, pipes). They can be shaped by hand, on site, to
DD210186
follow any path.
1 Flexible elbow
2 Flexible length
One metre long, these components can be used in
corners to adjust to the lengths of the straight
components running along three walls, regardless of
DD210187
the dimensions of the premises.

of the building, either directly or via threaded rods
KN
(8 mm diameter), brackets, etc.
The fixings are suitable for all types of mounting:

on ceilings, suspended, on walls, etc.

For edgewise or flat trunking installation.
The recommended fixing distance is three metres for
trunking installed edgewise and 1.5 metres when
installed flat.
2 Wall brackets
For edgewise mounting only. The recommended fixing
distance is two metres.
3 Spring fixing bracket

These brackets are used to suspend the KN line on
threaded rods M8 and do not require tools. The bracket
is attached to the treaded rod by the spring mechanism,
without nuts or bolts. Adjustment of the length of the
threaded rod is simplified and the KN trunking can be
installed three times faster.
They are suitable for all ratings.
4 Pendant Kit
The pendant kit includes:
- a perforated pendant (length: 1 meter, width: 80 mm)

used to suspend a KN line from the bulding structure,
an IPN or the ceiling.
- a cantilever arm that supports the cable tray under the

KN line.
DD210106
- the mounting hardware required to secure the KN

bracket and the cantilever arm to the pendant.
If neccessary, additional cantilever arms can be
ordered.
5 Fixing bracket for tracking

Designed for fast mounting, it supports the 100 mm
cable trays made of perforated sheet-metal or wire
mesh.
Can be directly installed on Canalis trunking: no
addition fixing points required.

Medium-power distribution
IP55
Ue = 230...690 V
RAL 9001 white
Canalis KS is designed for medium-power distribution with high tap-off densities in industrial and commercial buildings (factories, exhibition
halls, supermarkets, etc.).
The range is available in eight ratings: 100, 160, 250, 400, 500, 630, 800 et 1000 A.
Canalis KS provides an IP55 degree of protection, whatever the installation method. Consequently it can be installed in virtually any type
of building.
Tap-offs are implemented by tap-off units from 25 to 400 A that may be removed in complete safety under energised conditions,
from 25 to 400 A.
Busbar trunking rated 100 to 400 A may be equipped with tap-off units up to 250 A.
Busbar trunking with higher ratings may be equipped with the entire range of tap-off units.
All the insulating and plastic materials are halogen-free and have enhanced fire-withstand capabilities
b incandescent wire test as per standard IEC 60695-2 :
Straight lengths
Distribution components
DD210264
These components carry the current and supply loads up to 400 A. They constitute the basic structure of the line and are made up of:
1 a casing, crimp closed, made of hot-galvanised sheet steel, pre-lacquered RAL 9001 white. This casing, shaped and ribbed by roller
burnishing, provides excellent resistance to bending and twisting. Two sizes cover the entire range of ratings: 54 mm wide for the 100, 160, 250
and 400 A ratings and 113 mm wide for the 500, 630, 800 and 1000 A ratings, live conductors made up of four identically sized bars.
2 silver-plated aluminium/copper bimetal laminate for the 100 and 160 A ratings, aluminium equipped with silver-plated aluminium/copper
bimetall laminate contacts electrically welded at junctions and tap-off points for the 250 and
1000 A ratings
3 a protective conductor (PE) sized u 50% with respect to the cross-section of phases. It is connected to the casing at each junction
4 tap-off outlets every meter on both sides of the trunking
5 a mechanical and electrical jointing system: Electrical jointing is ensured by a block with flexible grip contacts made of silver-plated copper.
This block equally absorbs the difference in conductor and casing thermal expansion for each length,
For the 100 to 250 A ratings, it ensures automatic and simultaneous jointing of all live conductors and the continuity of the protective earth
conductor, as well as its connection with the casing. For the 400 to 1000 A ratings, electrical jointing is ensured by a quarter-turn locking
mechanism for each conductor.
Special components
1 Custom-length run components
Used to adjust the length of a line (e.g. between
DD210265
two changes in direction).

These components are made to order and do not

Disconnection principle:
DD210280
Disconnection by unplugging the tap-off unit.

The access to the electrical devices and the terminals
is possible only when the tap-off unit is unplugged
(i.e. not energised).
A safety device prevents connection to the trunking
when the cover has been removed.
Disconnection of tap-off units with fuses and modular

devices (category AC22 to AC20) is obtained by
opening the tap-unit cover.
Tap-off unit disconnection by opening or closing

the cover should be carried out only if the
downstreamload is de-energised.
For tap-units with circuit breakers, a number of

safety devices prevents from:
b Plugging and unplugging in the tap-off unit when the

cover is closed
b Closing the cover before the tap-off unit is locked
onto the trunking
b having access to the electrical equipment and the
terminals when energised.
b opening the cover in the position “ON” (tap-off units
equipped with a Compact NS or NG circuit breaker).
These tap-off units can be equipped with certain

accessories such as circuit-opening contacts on the
cover, lead seals, etc.

Canalis KS offers an IP55 degree of protection.
Thus, it can be installed in all types of buildings and in
all positions.
Even installed vertically, it retains the IP55 degree of
protection without requiring any accessories.
Canalis KS complies with sprinkler tests,


Canalis KS makes it fast and easy to upgrade the installation. The tap-off units can
PD202233
be removed and handled under energised conditions.

What is more, a line does not require expansion joints since the expansion of
straight lengths is absorbed automatically by the electrical junctions. This technique
ensures that the tap-off outlets on all floors remain available.
Canalis
KS
Easy handling and installation
Floor-distribution components are designed to facilitate:
b access to the straight lengths on floors given the narrowness of lift shafts and
stairways,
b installation of the straight lengths given the height of doors and the size of
shafts and technical ducts.
Because the available space in technical ducts is limited, Canalis KS gives the
advantage to use significantly less room compared to a centralised distribution
system using cables.
Installation is made easy due to the design of the jointing units that facilitate
alignment of the straight lengths.
Very flexible Maintenance free

The floor-distribution Canalis KS enhances the continuity of service because

or 4 tap-off outlets per
floor, enough to have
reserve outlets for future
upgrades.
Light and easy to handle

Canalis trunking is light and easy to handle due to the
DD202212
use of aluminium conductors.

For equal power ratings, trunking equipped with copper
conductors is 40% heavier.
The low weight of Canalis KS simplifies installation and
greatly reduces the time required. Fewer workers and
resources are required, whatever the type of
installation.

buildings, hotels, hospitals, car parks and ships).
DD210675
In this application, Canalis KS offers its many advantages:

b aluminium conductors, equipped with bimetal aluminium/silver-plated copper
contacts at junctions and tap-off points,
b a mechanical and electrical jointing system that ensures automatic and
simultaneous jointing of all live conductors and the continuity of the protective earth
conductor, as well as its connection with the casing. This jointing block also absorbs
the difference in conductor and casing thermal expansion for each length,
b tap-off outlets with automatic shutters.
For more detailed description, see “Canalis 100 to 1000 A for power distribution”, in
the “Description” chapter, page 196.
When installed vertically, the Canalis KS degree of protection is IP55.
How to build rising mains

B2 Use floor supports KSB pppZV3. They are used to support the riser on each floor
of the building, for enhanced flexibility in carrying out the various installation
phases. With this support, riser sections can be installed even when the lower
floors have not been completed.
Floor supports must never be used together with a bottom support.

Above 100 m, avoid the use of fixed components (e.g. elbows) and supply power
using cables wherever possible.
C Use custom-length fire barriers to block fire propagation between floors. They
also provide the means to adjust to the distance between floors.
D Use standard straight lengths, 2 or 2.50 metres long. Lengths and fire barriers
can be combined to provide:
Solution 1: for a distance of 2900 mm to 4300 mm between floors, three tap-off
outlets with KSA pppEV4203 straight lengths,
Solution 2 : for a distance of 3400 mm to 4800 mm between floors, four tap-off
outlets with KSA pppEV4254 straight lengths,
E Use KSB 1000ZV2 fixings to guide the riser on each floor.

1 Straight lengths for distribution
Specially designed for rising mains, they are available in two lengths (2 and 2.5

metres).
They have three or four tap-off outlets, all on the same side. The outlets are
positioned to enable connection of up to three 160 A tap-off units for Compact
NS circuit breakers on the two-metre lengths and up to four on the 2.5-metre
lengths.
2 Custom-length fire-barrier lengths

Installed at each floor level, these lengths eliminate any risk of fire propagation
from one floor to another via the trunking. These fire barriers have been tested
in a certified laboratory and comply with standard EN 1363-1. The laboratory
report lists the following results:
b thermal insulation: u120 minutes,
b resistance to flames: u120 minutes,
b stability: u120 minutes.
Provided in custom lengths, these barriers are used with the straight lengths to
adjust to the exact height of each floor.
Feed units
Direct supply
The trunking connects directly to a switchboard via a spreader. In this
configuration, the riser is supplied through a horizontal section made of lengths
without tap-off outlets.
3 Supply via cables

Equipped with terminals made of tinned aluminium, this feed unit is designed
for connection to copper or aluminium cables equipped with the necessary lugs.
The feed unit is also equipped with an aluminium gland plate.
Canalis
The plate can be removed and is not pre-drilled.

Fixing systems
4 Bottom support
This component attaches to the first jointing unit at the base of the riser and is
secured to the wall by two brackets. It supports the entire riser (see height
limitations on the previous page).
Note. The foot of the riser is a special jointing unit to which a wall bracket is
installed.
5 Guides
These guides, clipped to the riser, maintain it in the vertical position on each
floor. They not block access to the tap-off outlets.
6 Floor supports
Secured to the floor or wall (via Canalis 200 mm cantilever arms), they attach
to the sides of a special component (with or without fire barrier).
Tap-off units
Standard KS tap-off units are used (see Catalogue page 220).
Accessories
Sprinkler kit
To comply with the sprinkler tests (guaranteeing operation under vertically and
horizontally sprayed water for 50 minutes), each electrical jointing system should be
fitted with a reinforced protection kit (the jointing sleeve).
Lead sealing kit

A number of devices can be used to seal the tap-off units or outlets on the KS riser.

Maintenance of Canalis lighting systems

Maintenance of Canalis KDP, KBA and KBB trunking
components
KBA and KBB are similar in design and consequently have the same maintenance
requirements.
Feed units
They are equipped with anti-shear tunnel terminals for copper cables up to 10 mm2.
DD210670
As for all screw-type connections, it is advised to check tightness one year after
installation and then at longer intervals.
For KBA and KBB trunking, the feed units are jointed to the first run component of
the line (see next paragraph). This connection is maintenance free.
Run components
For Canalis KDP, the run components are one-piece lengths drawn from a 192-metre
DD210671
reel. No joints are required.
For Canalis KBA and KBB, run components are interconnected by electrical jointing
units ensuring automatic and simultaneous connection of all live conductors.
The contacts are clamp + spring type and exert no forces on the plastic parts.
The electrical contacts of the jointing unit and the conductors are made of tinned
copper. Components can be dismantled and reused.
Run components for all types of busbar trunking are maintenance free.
Tap-off units
They are the clamp type, made of bronze with tinned beryllium to ensure optimum
DD210672
mechanical rigidity and contact quality. The contacts do not press or apply any forces
on the plastic parts. They connect to the active line conductors at the tap-off outlets.
The conductors are made of tinned copper.
These components are maintenance free.
For Canalis KBA and KBB, circuits supplied by the 16 A tap-off units are connected
via tunnel terminals. As for all screw-type connections, it is advised to check
tightness one year after installation and then run checks at longer intervals.
284
Maintenance of Canalis KBL and KBX lighting systems
There are two types of maintenance.

b Luminaire cleaning
DD210673
During operation, in both industrial and commercial environments, the luminaires

become dirty and illuminance is reduced. Cleaning of luminaires restores the initial
level of illuminance.
Good lighting contributes to the profitability of any business:
v financial gains, because attention paid to the quality of lighting is part of a wider
analysis on operating costs and installation maintenance,
v productivity gains, because good lighting improves working conditions and quality
control of products or operations,
v gains in employee satisfaction, through enhanced comfort and less visual fatigue
and risk of accidents,
v environmental gains, because good lighting means less energy consumed and
often fewer lamps to replace and dispose of.
b Tube replacement
This consists of changing tubes and starters for fluorescent luminaires and bulbs for
discharge lamps.
Two types of maintenance are possible.

b Preventive maintenance
Depending on the service life (e.g. two years), it is possible to schedule a cleaning
program and, at the same time, systematically change all bulbs, tubes and starters.
b Corrective maintenance
The maintenance operations are the same, but are carried out when users report a
problem.
Advantages of Canalis
Because the luminaires are mounted on trunking and supplied by tap-off units, they
can be easily removed for cleaning and changing at ground level, then put back.
It is also possible to have spare units for immediate replacement of luminaires,
followed by cleaning and bulb changing of the removed luminaires that then become
the spare units.

Other recommendations
Maintenance of devices
For all devices installed in Canalis tap-off units, follow the manufacturer’s instructions
(as for installation in a switchboard).
Visual check
Cleaning
It is advised to check annually that trunking is clean and to remove any dust, water,
oil or other conducting substances or objects from sensitive zones such as junctions,
tap-off outlets and tap-off units.
External appearance
Check the external appearance of the trunking to detect:
b signs of shocks, in which case it is necessary to check the degree of protection
to avoid any risk of insulation faults,
b anomalies, i.e. incorrect implementation of the trunking (incorrect supports, etc.),
b traces of corrosion (in particular on supports).
Reuse after exposure to water

If a Canalis line is exposed to water during installation, it is necessary
to measure the insulation resistance of the line by isolating the supply and the loads.
b If R < 0.69 MΩ, the installation must not be energised:
v cut the line in two by removing the jointing unit in the middle,
v locate the faulty zone,
v remove all jointing covers and dry the parts using compressed air,
v continue until the insulation resistance is greater than 0.69 MΩ,
v the system can then be energised.

Origin of harmonic currents

Harmonic currents are caused by non-linear loads connected to distribution systems,
i.e. by loads that draw current with a waveform different that that of the voltage that
supplies them.
The most common non-linear loads are equipment including rectifiers, fluorescent
lighting and computer hardware.
In installations with a distributed neutral, non-linear loads may cause significant

overloads in the neutral conductor due to the presence of third-order harmonics.
Harmonic order
DD210679 The order is the ratio
between the harmonic
frequency fn and the
fundamental frequency
(generally the power
frequency, 50 or 60 Hz):
n = fn / f1
By definition, the
fundamental f1 is order 1
(H1).
Third-order harmonics
(H3) have a frequency of
150 Hz (when f1 = 50 Hz).
Estimating THD (total harmonic distortion)

The presence of third-order harmonics depends on the applications involved.
It is necessary to carry out an in-depth study on each non-linear load to determine
the level of H3:
ih3 (%) = 100 x i3 / i1
b i3 = rms current of H3
b i1 = rms current of the fundamental
Assuming that H3 is preponderant among harmonics, the THD is close to the value
of H3 (ih3(%)).
There are two decisive factors:

b the types of connected devices:
v disturbing loads: fluorescent lighting, computer hardware, rectifiers, arc furnaces,
etc.,
v non-disturbing loads: heating, motors, pumps, etc.,
b the ratio between the two types of disturbing loads.

Recommendations for How Canalis compensate
special applications for thermal expansion
Foreword
Prefabricated electrical trunking components expand and contract due to:
b changes in ambient temperature (e.g. summer and winter)
b current flowing in the conductors (e.g. 0 to In).
For example, consider a 30 metre long 800 A Canalis KS line equipped with ten
160 A tap-off units and installed under the roof of a building where the ambient
temperature varies by more than 30 °C between summer and winter:
b just the change in the ambient temperature results in an expansion of 20 mm for
the conductors and the 10 mm for the casing
b at a constant ambient temperature, the temperature rise in the conductors every
morning when the installation is started (increase in current from 0 to In = 800 A)
results in an expansion of 55 mm for the conductors and 7 mm for the casing.
The lengths of the sheet steel (1) and the aluminium conductors (2) therefore vary as
a function of the changes in temperature and their specific thermal expansion
coefficients.
PD202309
For this reason, Canalis components are designed so that these phenomena do not
affect their installation or operation.
How Canalis trunking components effectively compensate for the effects of conductor thermal expansion.
Inside a trunking section, the conductors are fixed (1) at a single point in the casing
and, due to the change in temperature, expand (V) on either side of that point. The
zones affected by expansion and considered critical from the electrical standpoint
are the jointing system (2) and tap-off outlets (3).
DD202281
292
How Canalis trunking components effectively compensate for the effects of conductor thermal expansion.
b the Canalis jointing system mechanically and electrically connects components
(e.g. two straight lengths), but allows for the expansion and contraction of the
conductors (4).
The system is made up of springs (1) and an area of sliding contacts (2) that allow
conductor movement ( ) while maintaining outstanding electrical contact.
Contact quality is ensured by two parts made of silver-plated copper (3). Sufficient
pressure between the two parts for good contact is maintained by the springs.
This system is used at each end of the straight lengths, every three metres.
DD202282
b at the tap-offs, conductor expansion is compensated for by a contact zone (4)

made of silver-plated copper on which the clamps of the tap-off unit can slide.
1 Spring of clamps.
2 Copper area.
DD202283
3 Silver plated copper.
Conclusion: at both the jointing system and the tap-off outlets, sliding contacts can
handle the expansion of the conductors.
These maintenance-free silver-plated contacts are guaranteed for life.
Only the expansion of the sheet steel must be taken into account for Canalis
installation, however the problem is minor because both trials and
calculations show that expansion is only approximately 1 mm for every three-
metre length under extreme operating conditions.
applications
Special
293
Few precautionary measures used to compensate for the effects of thermal expansion in the casing,
depending on how the line is installed.
Horizontal line
For a trunking line made up exclusively of straight lengths, as noted above, the
effects of thermal expansion are not significant (only 1 mm for 3 m).
To avoid all risk of problems, Canalis trunking supports allow movement of the
casing, i.e. no fixed points.
For a fixed point caused by a blocked elbow, for example, the casings compensate
their expansion by slight lateral movement (0.7 mm maximum) on either side of the
longitudinal axis. This movement has no impact on the contact quality of the jointing
system or on the IP.
Conclusion: the only precautionary measure is to prevent distortion by avoiding

having a number of fixed points on a single line.
PD202310
Vertical line (rising mains)

The effects of thermal expansion depend on the different installation methods.
DD202285
Rising mains with just one bottom support (1)

With a bottom support attached to the wall, the riser expands upwards. At each floor,
the sheet steel slides naturally through the floor.
The only precautionary measure is to avoid creating any other fixed points.
Rising mains with spring-based fixing devices (2)

For rising mains with spring-based fixing devices only, the riser expands both
upwards and downwards. At each floor, the casing sides naturally through the fire
barriers.
Rising mains with more than one bottom support (1)

More than one bottom support should not be used on a single riser to avoid creating
a number of fixed points that block thermal expansion of the casing, in which case a
component in the line may break.
If more than one bottom support is necessary, it is advised to break the riser into a
number of sections, interconnected by cables and feed boxes, to allow thermal
expansion (see section “above on Rising mains with just one bottom support”).
Installation of rising mains does not require any particular precautionary

measures. All the above solutions have been simulated by calculations and
tested in a laboratory. Schneider Electric guarantees that they will maintain the
safety and reliability of your installation.

What is a sprinkler?
A sprinkler is a sprinkling device blanked off by a heat-sensitive component. It is

designed to deliver water when the temperature to which it is subjected exceeds its
DD205065
calibration value.
The main aim of the installation is to lower the temperature in the accident area by
wetting the ignited and adjacent materials by spraying water in the form of fine
droplets.
The transformation of these droplets into water vapour captures a lot of energy from
the fire and extinguishes it quickly. Moreover, this increased volume prevents air
from flowing to the heart of the fire.
When a fire develops, ambient temperature rises to reach the calibration value.
Water then leaves the sprinkler opening and strikes a deflector that projects it onto
the fire in a certain form. Ground coverage ranges between 9 and 12 m² according
to mounting height.
A sprinkler delivers between 60 and 120 l/min according to the hazard class.
On nuisance tripping lasting a few minutes, some hundreds of litres of water are
released. IPx5 approval as per standard
IEC 60529 does not guarantee non ingress of water in the busbar trunking in these
conditions, as the water volumes, test duration and projection distance vary (nozzle
22.5 mm in diameter, at a distance of 2.5-3 m, with a water volume of 12.5l/min for
1min/m² for at least
3 min)
To provide you with all necessary safety guarantees, Schneider Electric has chosen
to go further still than the IP55 test by subjecting its busbar trunking to an extremely
severe “sprinkler” test.

Coordination Advantages of
the Schneider Electric system
Trunking protection
PD202332
Our circuit breakers offer:

b overload and short-circuit protection
b coordination between protective devices
and Canalis busbar trunking systems (BTS):
v total discrimination:
- from 1 to 6300 A between all circuit breakers,
v cascading:
- reinforcement of low and medium-power BTS short-circuit protective devices
to handle all possible short-circuit levels;
- tap-off unit protection using standard circuit breakers regardless of where
the tap-off unit is placed on the Canalis BTS;
b simplification of the design process, while ensuring a high degree
of dependability;
b quick and easy fault tracking;
b simple reclosing (“resetting”) once the fault has been eliminated by the operator.
Tap-off units
PD202333
b The Canalis tap-off units of the Schneider Electric system satisfy operator
needs in terms of:
v installation upgradeability without production downtime,
v continuity of service,
v safety.
b The tap-off units:

v can be connected and disconnected under energised conditions
without risk to the operator,
v are designed for installation at one-meter intervals on the distribution BTS.
Distribution switchboards
PD202334
Our protection switchgear optimises switchboard functions.

b Schneider Electric guarantees upstream device coordination:
v between Masterpact, Compact C and Compact NS circuit breakers and between
Compact NS and Multi 9 circuit breakers,
v between electrical distribution circuit breakers and industrial control circuit
breakers (motor circuit breaker, Integral, etc.) for industrial control application.
b Switch-disconnectors comply with the IEC 60947-3 standard and are designed
to ensure AC23 load breaking and isolation.

Coordination Trunking protection
Overload protection
The busbar trunking rating

Selection of busbar trunking with respect
can be optimised when the trunking
is protected by circuit breakers
to protective device ratings
rather than fuses. To take into account busbar trunking thermal overload protection, the various
protection switchgear technologies and the currents under overload conditions
must be considered.
The sizing characteristics for the choice of busbar trunking and overload
protection are:
b In trunking = load current x f1 x k2

b f1: temperature coefficient
b k2: derating factor linked to the type of switchgear:
v fuse: k2 = 1.1
v circuit breaker: k2 = 1.
Example:
DD210602en
For a load current = 400 A with an ambient temperature of 35°C:

b Fuse protection:
In trunking = load current x f1 x k2 = 400 x 1 x 1.1 = 440 A
The recommended trunking is KSA500 (In trunking = 500 A).
b Circuit breaker protection:

In trunking = load current x f1 x k2 = 400 x 1 x 1 = 400 A
The recommended trunking is KSA400 (In trunking = 400 A).
Due to their design, circuit breaker thermal settings are more precise.
Explanations
b Calibration of thermal asymptotes:
v distribution fuses are calibrated to trip for overloads of between 1.25 and 1.6 times
their rated current,
DD210601en
v circuit breakers are calibrated to trip for overloads of between 1.05 and 1.3
(1.2 for circuit breakers with electronic protection) times ther current setting.

Overload protection
(cont.)
Thermal-setting precision
b The fuse is assigned a fixed rating. A change in the current to be protected
requires fuse replacement. The difference between 2 fuse ratings is
approximately 25%.
Standard ratings are given according to the series of characteristic numbers
of the “Renard” series.
For example: 40 - 50 - 63 - 80 - 100 - 125 - 160 - 200 - etc.
b the circuit breaker offers a setting precision of:

v 5% for circuit breakers equipped with conventional thermal-magnetic trip units,
v 3% for circuit breakers equipped with electronic trip units.
For example, a circuit breaker with a nominal rating of 100 A can easily be set
to values of Ir = 100 A, 95 A, 90 A, 85 A, 80 A.
Example:
a circuit breaker with a nominal rating of 100 A set to 90 A will be used to protect
KSA100 busbar trunking (ln trunking = 100 A) which is used for an ambient
temperature of 50°C.
Extensive setting range of circuit breakers

equipped with electronic trip units
Circuit breakers equipped with electronic trip units offer an extended range
of settings:
b thermal protection lr adjustable from 0.4 ln to ln,
b short-circuit protection from 2 lr to 10 lr.
Example:
a 250 A circuit breaker (NS250N equipped with an STR22SE) can easily
be set up for:
- thermal protection from 100 to 250 A,
- short-circuit protection from 200 to 2500 A.
Advantages:
b This ensures a high degree of flexibility with respect to:
DD210603
v modifications (flexibility), extensions (upgradeability): protective devices

can be easily adapted to the application requiring protection and to the system
earthing arrangement used (protection of life and property),
v maintenance: use of this type of device considerably reduces maintenance
component stocks.

Short-circuit protection
Trunking characteristics
Busbar trunking systems must meet all rules stipulated
in standards IEC 60439.1 and 60439.2.
b With respect to short-circuits, BTS sizing is determined by the following
characteristics:
v rated peak withstand current Ipk (kÂ):
this characteristic expresses the instantaneous electrodynamic withstand limits
of the busbar trunking. The peak current value is often the most restrictive
instantaneous characteristic for the protective device;
v maximum rms short-time withstand current Icw (kArms/...s):
this characteristic expresses the permissible temperature-rise limit of conductors
over a given period of time (0.1 to 1 s);
v thermal stress in A2s:
this characteristic expresses the instantaneous thermal stress withstand of the BTS.
Normally, if the short-circuit generates fault conditions that are compatible with
the first two characteristics, this constraint is “automatically satisfied”.
Circuit breaker characteristics

A circuit breaker must meet the requirements of product construction standards
(IEC 60947-2, etc.) and installation standards (IEC 60364 or applicable country
standards), i.e. its breaking capacity lcu* must be greater than short-circuit current
Isc at the point where it is installed.
* installation standard IEC 60364 and the construction standards specify that the breaking
capacity of a circuit breaker is:
- the ultimate breaking capacity, lcu, if it is not coordinated with an upstream protective device,
- the breaking capacity enhanced by cascading, if there is coordination with the upstream
protective device.
Characteristics of
DD210604en
the circuit-breaker/trunking combination

When the busbar trunking is directely protected, selection of the protective
device must take into account the following requirements:
b circuit breaker Icu u prospective Isc at point A
b BTS l peak u limited or asymmetrical prospective Isc at point A
b BTS thermal withstand at lcw u thermal stress passing through the BTS.
When the busbar trunking is protected downstream of a cable, selection of

the protective device must take into account the following requirements:

Non-limiting or time-delayed
circuit breakers
Either non-limiting (instantaneous or time-delayed) or time-delayed limiting circuit

breakers can be used. They are mainly air-type power (= 800 A) circuit breakers.
This type of circuit breaker is used to implement time discrimination
and is often combined with KT type trunking.
b The busbar trunking must be capable of withstanding the peak fault current
to which it may be subjected as well as the thermal stress during any time delay:
v the permissible peak current, l peak, of the BTS must be greater than the peak
value of the prospective asymmetrical short-circuit current at point A.
DD210605en
The value of the asymmetrical short-circuit current is obtained from the value
of the symmetrical short-circuit current, Isc, multiplied by a standardised
asymmetry factor (k).
The value of the first short-circuit asymmetry peak in the transient state is taken
into account.
Standardised table for asymmetrical short-circuit calculations

Isc: prospective symmetrical short-circuit Asymmetry factor k

10 < I y 20 2.0
Current value of the 1st. peak as a function of rms Isc 20 < I y 50 2.1
50 < I 2.2
For example, for a circuit with a prospective short-circuit current of 50 kA rms,

the first peak reaches 105 kA (50 kA x 2.1). See the figure opposite.
v The short-time withstand current lcw of the BTS must be greater than the current
Isc flowing through the installation for the duration of the short-circuit,
DD210606en
(duration T = total breaking time, including the time delay if applicable).
If one of these criteria is not satisfied, the rating of the busbar trunking to be used
must be increased.

This mainly concerns protection of BTSs by moulded-case circuit breakers

This type of circuit breaker is used for energy discrimination and is therefore often
combined with Canalis KN and KS trunking.
b In this case, the BTS must withstand the peak current limited by the protective
device and the corresponding thermal stress.
v The current limited (I peak) by the circuit breaker must be less than the peak

are used for protection. A circuit breaker’s limiting capacity is its ability to let only a limited current IL,
lower than the prospective asymmetrical peak short-circuit current Isc through
in the event of a short-circuit.
The consequence is a considerable reduction in electrodynamic
and thermal stresses in the protected installation.

v KSA800 trunking would be required (Ipeak = 78.7 kÂ > 75.6 kÂ at point A).
b Taking into account the limiting capacity of the Compact NS400N:

v the value of Ipeak limited by the circuit breaker is 30 kÂ < 49.2 kÂ of the KSA400

b the need to reduce overheads and production costs
b the allocation of energy expenditures to cost centres
b the outsourcing of operations tasks to specialists.
