Pogliano BusBar s.r.l.

a modern solution for power feeding and distribution

The philosophy behind busbar

Cable
Power distribution by cable trays

Blindosbarra Pogliano
Power is distributed by means of selfsupporting and modular standard lenghts. Tap-off outlets are distributed along the run.

Power tap-off by connection boxes

A specific cable for each load Power is easily tapped-off by means of tap-off plugs

Components and terminology

Power feeding by cache

Disadvantages of cable vs. busbar

Installation time twice as long as with busbars

Heavy weight requires multiple fixing.

Installation requires a mechanical support on which cables are installed. The handling of cables is difficult , especially if the space is narrow.

Cables take up more space

Cable bending requires high radiuses in crowded spaces.

Wear and tear of insulators in time

PCV deteriorates

Feeding power by busbar trunking

Advantage of busbar links vs. cable
Reduction of fixing points
Busbar trunking is 40 % lighter than cable.

Easier than cable

Installation can be completed in just one step.

Less space Easy connection to transformer

In case of fault the transformer can be disconnected within an hour. A single duct can substitute many cables in parallel. Busbar trunking allows for 90 bends, and makes for optimal usage of space

Durability of components

Poglianos busbar systems are almost forever!

Power distribution by cable

Disadvantages of a centralized cable system
A centralized cable system is complex
Each load draws power individually from the switchboard

Hard to modify
When a load is moved or a new load inserted, it must be cabled again

Installation time: twice as long as with busbar trunking

All cables must be supported mechanically along their length

Downtime
During load maintenance power must be turned off since protection is inside the switchboard

High magnetic fields

Components generated by each phase are not balanced or screened

Power distribution by busbar

Advantages of decentralized distribution by busbar trunking
Less space
Distributing power by busbar means smaller switchboards!

Installation time cut in half

Just one installation step

Easy layout Magnetic fields greatly reduced

When distributing power in places like offices or hospitals, busbar trunking minimizes magnetic fields and their risks The layout is simple and it is not necessary to know the final layout of the loads

More flexible and less expensive than cable

Lower fire loads

Fewer plastic insulators

Power distribution by busbar trunking

Advantages of decentralized distribution by busbar trunking
No downtime Very easy to modify.
Loads can be moved easily without any need to modify the system.

Protection devices can be inserted in the tap-off plugs, which means that no need to turn off the power during load maintenance.

Modularity
Runs can be modified, moved or removed when the need arises

Easy to layout
- Layout is easy - Technical data and parameters are clear from the beginning.

Cable distribution for lighting

Disadvantages of cable vs. busbar trunking
Difficult to modify Installation time. Adding or removing more lamps is difficult or impossible once completed

1. Installation of cable trays 2. Installation of cables and of lighting equipment

Downtime Maintenance of loads may require that the whole system be switched off

0,5 hours
per meter for the run

0,5 hours
per lighting device

Lighting distribution by busbar

Advantages of busbar trunking
Installation time cut in half
Busbar trunking can be assembled just as fast as cable trays, but the lamps can be prepared on the ground and assembled together with the busbar trunking

Very easy to modify

Lamps can be removed or added very quickly

Easy to modify the circuit

By modifying the cabling of the plug you change the phase from which you draw power

No downtime
Any maintenance only involves one lighting load, which means power doesnt need to be turned off

0,2 hours
per meter to install the busbar trunking

0,2 hours
per lamp for suspension and electrical connection

More competitive than cable tray+cable

Pogliano BusBar product range

BX and BV for distribution of up to 5000 A and beyond

Ideal for lighting

Pogliano BusBar trunking

Advantages to electrical consultants

Easy to design
- The design is easier and faster - Design possible even without knowing the exact destination of loads. Knowing total loads and the characteristics of the installation is sufficient

Technical warranty:
- It complies to all existing standards. - Safely designed. - Reliable.

More competitive than cable.

For distribution, feeding or for lighting

Pogliano BusBar trunking

Advantages to installers
Weeks

It satisfies customer needs

Modular design satisfies customer needs

Lower stock. Good for business

Speed of installation means delivering the job a lot faster Fast delivery times allow for lower stock and quick replacement

Pogliano BusBar trunking

Advantages to end customers
Adaptability
Modularity makes it possible to reconfigure the layout after installation.

Speed of installation.
Time to deliver the job cut in half

No downtime
Protection devices contained in tap-off plugs make it possible to single out maintenance operation without turning off the general power

Safe buildings
Low magnetic fields (much lower than with cable). Low emissions even in case of fire.

No maintenance
Once installed they dont require any maintenance other than common sense (and tightening of joints in case of BX)
