    Busbar Trunking System is used to distribute electric power using copper or aluminum busbars housed in enclosures. It provides a flexible and efficient alternative to traditional wiring. Advantages include better heat absorption, flexibility for reconfiguration, lower installation costs, reduced energy losses, and increased safety compared to cable systems. The system works by collecting power from incoming feeders through electrical busbars and distributing it to outgoing feeders. Proper safety precautions must be followed like shutting off power before working, wearing protective equipment, using insulated tools, and exercising caution when connecting or disconnecting components.

    Busbar Trunking: System and

    electrical safety precaution


    Group (28-33)
    Busbar Trunking System:
    • Busbar is a metallic strip or bar, typically housed inside switchgear, panel
    boards and busway enclosures for local high current power distribution.
    • Busbar Trunking System is the is a system of distributing electric power using
    copper or aluminium busbar with to prevent the cables from getting damaged
    due to foreign bodies.
    • Busbar trunking systems are an essential component of modern electrical
    distribution systems. They are used to transfer power from a power source to
    different points of use in a building.
    • The BTS is commonly used in industrial and commercial buildings as it
    provides a more flexible and efficient way of distributing power compared to
    traditional wiring systems.

    Advantages:
    • Heat Absorption: Since the design is compact and has a metal casing
    with well-defined surface, busbars can absorb heat generated while
    transmissions and distribution of electricity in the walls of the
    enclosure. The system of cooling is much better than traditional
    cabling system.  
    • Flexibility: Busbars are more flexible in nature compared to cables in
    the sense that it can be used in any kind of structure with any
    configuration. Easy to add or remove sections as needed.
    • Cost Savings: Busbars can be mounted easily than a cable and incurs
    a lesser cost of installation than traditional cables. They can also be
    mounted at a lesser time than traditional cables.
    • Better Resistance: Busbars have rigid design elements and hence
    has better resistance than cables, especially in case of short circuits
    • Reduced Loss of Energy: Busbars have lower resistance than
    cables. Hence the loss of energy due to transmission and
    distribution is lower in Busbars. Busbars also have a limited growth
    of reactive power to operate compared to cable systems.
    • Ease of Distribution: Busbars help in easy, efficient and safe
    distribution of line with the junction boxes in places where they are
    required. Moreover, the location data junction boxes can be
    changed whenever and where-ever in the future. The junction boxes
    can be easily increased in the future as well with busbars.
    • Safe and Secured: Busbars are fitted with a steel casing and cannot
    be damaged by rodents as compared to cables.
    How Busbar Trunking System works?
    • Electrical busbars are conductors or a group of conductors used for
    collecting electric power from incoming feeders. From there, they
    distribute the power to the outgoing feeders.
    • In laymen’s terms, it is a type of electrical junction where all incoming
    and outgoing electrical currents meet. The bus bar system has an
    isolator and the circuit breaker which works as follows. In the event of
    a fault, the circuit breaker trips and the faulty section of the busbar is
    easily disconnected from the circuit.

    Electrical Safety Precautions:
    • Shut off power: Before working on the busbar turning system, ensure that the
    power supply is turned off. This can be done by shutting off the main power
    switch or breaker.
    • Wear protective equipment: When working with electrical systems, always wear
    appropriate protective equipment, such as gloves, goggles, and a hard hat.
    • Use insulated tools: When working on the busbar turning system, use insulated
    tools to prevent electric shock.
    • Keep the area clean: Ensure that the area around the busbar turning system is
    clean and free of debris or liquids that could cause a slip or fall.
    • Use caution when connecting and disconnecting: When connecting or
    disconnecting components of the busbar turning system, use caution to avoid
    accidental contact with live components.
