L&T - Megaduct Busbar Trunking System

Busbar trunking system (BBT), performs the function of transporting current form one point to the other. Traditionally cables were used for this function. BBT goes beyond what cables do. BBT can tap off power to switchgear for further distribution using tap of boxes. In comparison to cables, BBT can thus serve as distribution panels at different stages (at floors of a building). BBT thus continues as a single systems to replace cables as well as distribution boards at floor level for building (commercial or industrial).

L&T introduces world-class sandwich Busbar Trunking System (BBT) under the brand L&T-Megaduct to its valued Indian customers. The BBT is totally enclosed, non-ventilated design busbar and is fully insulated using halogen free fire retardant insulation.L&T-Megaduct BBT system offer a superior alternative to cables and other bus trunking options through this compact and scalable range of system thus providing an enhanced solution to power transmission and distribution in buildings as well as industry.

Types of Busbar Trunking System

Busbar trunking system is of two types:

1) 2) Sandwich Air Insulated

Sandwich Busbar trunking system is preferred widely due to its advantages over Air insulated busbars as well as cables, some of which are mentioned below.

Benefits of Sandwich Construction :

Compactness : Sandwich construction render to the BBT system more compact than air insulated bus bar system, thus making them a preferred choice in plant room and building applications. Compactness of sandwich construction results in higher efficiency due to lower voltage drop and impedance. This ensures all connected equipment run cooler. Additions of floor to a building or any expansion to an existing system is extremely simple with sandwich BBT. They are scalable & elegant. Higher mechanical strength over long runs, better electrical conductivity and lower mV drop which ensures high reliability. Ability to withstand high short circuit currents make them doubly safe. Sandwich construction do not have air gap due to which natural progression of fire is inhibited. Insulation being flame retardant provides better resistance to spread of fire. Inherently flexible design ensures easy installation and maintenance thus resulting in lower installation and maintenance costs.

L&T - Megaduct Busbar Trunking System

L&T Megaduct busbar trunking system is of sandwich construction, totally enclosed, well insulated design. It is used (as feeder busbar) for interconnection between transformer/generator to power distribution centers and as plug-in (busbar risers) in building power systems. Cast resin busduct are also available for outdoor application. These busducts are suitable for operation in a 600/1000V system. The diagram below familiarises you with L&T-Megaduct busbar trunking system:

Components of Busbar Trunking System

1
Flange End
Flange End is the incoming unit of a busbar trunking system. The power is fed at the flange End to energise the busbar trunking system. Flange End is provided with sufficient space for direct cable connections by nuts and bolts. (details can be given on request) Flange End Box can be provided on request with flange end for accommodating protective devices like ACB/MCCB.

2
Straight Busduct
These straight bus duct run along the length of connection and the body of the bus trunking system. Types of straight busduct are:
Feeder type: Straight busbar trunking unit with no tap off facility Plug in type: Straight busbar trunking unit having tap off points on one or many faces

Conductor Al Feeder Type Plug-in Type Cu IP42

Ingress Protection Indoor Outdoor IP55 IP66 IP67

Neutral 100% 200%

System Voltage : 600V and up to maximum 1000V / 3P / 50 Hz or 60 Hz constructed in various configurations of 3 phase 3 wire or 3 phase 4 wire with or without 50% integral housing ground and separate earth bar. The earth bar (50% or 100%) can be installed. To counter excessive harmonic effects, 200% neutral can also be provided on request.

Epoxy Insulation

Current Ratings : Wide range of current rating from 100A to 6300A for Copper Conductor and upto 5000A for Aluminium Conductors.

Insulation : All Busbars have Class H-180 C standard epoxy coating as insulation material which provides 100% water proofing and high mechanical strength. Alternately we also provide multilayer Class F-1550C insulation. These busducts are designed & tested in accordance with IEC 60-439-2 and BS 5486
0

Horizontal / Vertical BusBars : All L&T Megaduct copper busbars are of high conductivity (IACS 99.98%) copper bar with high purity (>99.95%), or aluminum bars with conductivity >61%. All copper busbars are tin or silver plated and fully insulated. The busbars are tropicalised to withstand higher temperature rise of 500 C- 550C. Standard lengths of 3M / 2M / 1M up to 0.45M. Other lengths will be made available as required.

Benefits of using epoxy coating as insulation : Withstands glitch and spikes in electrical system so that system is stable & runs reliably Provides rooms for expansion/contraction during peak and off-peak hours to avoid tracking in surface of insulation Capable of withstanding heat shock thus minimising chances of failure due to spark or excess heat High mechanical strength so that insulation damage by accidental impact is reduced High thermal conductivity to provide uniform distribution of heat, hence system runs cooler Water and chemical resistant which makes it suitable for use in corrosive and humid environment

Housing : L&T Megaduct Busbar Trunking have a rugged housing profile and provide the most efficient way to dissipate heat through conduction and natural convection. All housings are constructed from 1.6mm electrogalvanized steel sheet coated with oven baked polyester powder paint or epoxy coated powder which also provides maximum mechanical strength against electromagnetic stresses.

Single Bolt Bridge Joints
The straight bus ducts are expected to carry their full rated current for required lengths and in order to overcome extreme rugged conditions at site, the new L&T Megaduct joint has been designed precisely and manufactured using the highest quality of materials to minimize all possible problems and enhance system performance. Longer overlapping length (>40 mm) to increase contact area Single bolt bridge joint system Bolts and nuts can be stainless steel, galvanized or chromed black High Tensile Steel Entire System is designed and tested for protection of IP 42 / IP55 / IP 66 / IP 67 Easy to remove / install joints without removing the main busduct Water / Chemical Resistant DMC / SMC / BMC insulation Plates Optional shear off twin headed bolts to required torque of 70Nm

Benefits of Single Bolt Bridge Joint:

Incorporates a 5mm thermal expansion and movement at every joint Allows 15mm of lateral adjustment (total 30mm) to correct site measurement inaccuracies Ability to tilt at an angle of 5 (total 10 > along single axis)

Elbow
Busbar Trunking elbows are angle units which enable the Busbar Trunking system to change directions. Various types of elbows can be provided as per customers requirement. Like, Flatwise Elbow (Horizontal Elbow) Edgewise Elbow (Vertical Elbow) Edgewise offset ( Double Elbow) Combination Elbow (Combines Vertical & Horizontal)

5
Tap-Off Units (TOU)
Tap-Off Units are required to tap power from the straight bus ducts. Typically, Tap-Off units are used in plug in type busbar trunking systems (vertical risers). TOUs are installed at specified intervals for tapping power from a bus trunking system. TOU is provided with non-fused circuit breakers (MCCB) or SDFs of various current ratings. Generally, 2 tap-off units per side are installed. Provision of up to five tap-off units per length of 3M busduct can be given depending upon the size of MCCBs.

Features of Tap-Off Units: All Tap-Off units can be interlocked to prevent removal when outgoing device is in ON position When the tap-off unit cover is OPEN, it is interlocked such that MCCB cannot be turned ON Tap-Off units are suitable for all types of MCCBs ie. 3 pole / 4 pole of ratings from 16A to 1600A Tap-Off units can also be used with MCBs and Fuse Switch Breaker Metering facility can be provided on request Bolt-on type plug-in units is available for MCCB ratings >600A
