Busbar Trunking System
Definition
Busbar Trunking System is a prefabricated electrical distribution system
consisting of busbars in a protective enclosure, including straight lengths, fittings,
devices and accessories.
Mainly of two types:
Air Insulated

There are 4 classes of fire:
Class A
Ordinary combustibles or fibrous material, such as
wood, paper, cloth, rubber, and some plastics.
Class B
Flammable or combustible liquids such as gasoline,
kerosene, paint, paint thinners and propane.
Class C
Energized electrical equipment, such as appliances,
switches, panel boxes and power tools.
Class D
Certain combustible metals, such as magnesium,
titanium, potassium, and sodium.

Energized Electrical Equipment Bus duct
Heat , Fire & Safety
Heat : Increased temperature of conductor can lead to fire in case of poor insulation
Most common Insulations used in sandwich Bus Bar Trunking system:
Class B

130 C - This has a form that inorganic material is hardened with adhesives Eg.
Mica.
Class F
155 C Made of Class-B materials that are upgraded with adhesives, silicone, and
alkyd-resin varnish of higher thermal endurance. Eg. - Combination of Mylar &
Nomex
Class - H
180 C Made of inorganic material glued with silicone resin or adhesives of
equivalent performance Eg. Epoxy.
Note : Use of Class F insulation or Class H insulation can increase the service factor
or the ability to withstand high ambient temperature conditions.

Epoxy Insulation compound - HKE 455
Various grades of epoxy compound when mixed in different combination give
different results,

1. Our Epoxy HKE 455 is a compound ( In House ) made from polymeric component ,
chlorine, carbon, calcium, silicon and aluminium.

2. High with stand capacity : 10000 volts / layer,

3. Very high tensile strength : 23000 psi

4. Excellent resistance to most chemicals & moisture,

5. High flexibility for temperature extremes : - 5C to 180 C

6. Does not become brittle with age.

Class F insulation 155 C
Ref. Ambient of 40C + Allowable temp. Rise 105C
+ Allowance for Hot spot of 10C

7. Life of epoxy compound is more than 25 years.

8. No corona effect due to extrusion process used for insulating conductors













9. Any possible problems due to pin-holes is prevented at QC by passing each
piece through a 5kV HV test for 60Sec.

10. Each and every single piece is tested for 5kV (60Sec) as part of routine test prior to
dispatch clearance.

11. RoHS compliant.
