The Fast Bus system
Fast Bus is a
3-phase busbar
system for power
distribution.

The modular design
provides the
flexibility needed to
fit your application.

Fast Bus also
carries domestic and
international
approvals, which
make it ideal for one
global panel design.
The Fastbus system can help you save
panel space by allowing you to wire and
mount circuit protection and motor
starters in a tight line.
Leave space for future
system expansion. Covering
all exposed bus bars with
the plastic profile.
Fastbus helps provide for efficient assembly and simple maintenance, reducing down
time..
Adapter shoes can be easily snapped on or removed from the Busbars in seconds and
many of the starters and circuit breakers come pre-assembled from Siemens.

The Fast Bus system and UL508A

Feeder circuit is the circuit section located upstream from the last short-circuit-proof element
(short circuit protection device = SCPD).

Branch circuit is the circuit section located downstream from the last short-circuit-proof element.

Clearance and creepage distances in acc. with UL508A in the feeder circuit (rated voltage 251- 600V):
When using the Fast Bus busbar system in a power distribution board erected in accordance with UL
regulations, it has to be checked whether the application is located in the Feeder or Branch circuit.

Components used in the Feeder circuit require larger clearance and creepage distances than in the
branch circuit.

Group Installation
according to NEC 430.53
One of the most common uses
for Fastbus is multi-motor
applications.

Fastbus offers a great solution
when applied in accordance
with National Electric Code
section 430.53.

We offer a full line of Main
Circuit Breakers from 100 A to
250 A mounted on Fastbus
shoe adapters.

Since our 3RV Motor Starter
Protectors are listed for Group
Installation they eliminate the
need for an additional branch

How to Configure Fast Bus for Group Installation

1. Determine Required Load
2. Select Method to Power Fastbus
Main lug up to 600A
Circuit breakers, 15A to 500A
3. Select any additional circuit breakers or lugs to feed non-motor loads or
motors greater than 100A.
4. Select 3RA Combination, Compact Starters, or individual starter components
for each motor load.
5. Select Additional Fastbus Adapters for other control components
6. Determine the required length of busbar based on component widths and plan
for expansion space.
7. Select appropriate length busbar, busbar supports, end covers and any other
required components.
2010-03 Slide 20/34
Step 1 Determine total amperage of required loads

Due to the nature of Fast Bus, most applications are
considered Group Installation per NEC 430-53

Group Installation is an approach to building multiple motor
control systems. In Group Installation, multiple motor
starters can be grouped under a short circuit protective
device. The 3RA Combination Starters have been UL
listed for Group Installation in conjunction with Fast Bus.

Circuit Breaker Selection - Select a circuit breaker (CB) between:

Minimum CB size (per NEC430-110) = Sum of all motor Full Load Currents x 115%
Maximum CB size (per NEC430-53c) = 250% x FLC of the largest motor + FLC of all other motors
Fuse Selection - Calculate the maximum fuse size per NEC 430-53c:

Maximum Fuse size = 175% x FLC of the largest motor + FLC of all other motors
A. Review the specification or line drawing to determine all of the loads in the circuit
B. Use the calculations below to determine the size to the Short Circuit Protective Device
2010-03 Slide 21/34
Step 2 Select Method to Power Fast Bus
For Short Circuit Protection from 50 to 250A, we recommend
using the FBCB***M Main Circuit breakers kits

These circuit breakers have the Fast Bus wires on the load side.
Incoming power wires can be fed through the top of the enclosure
directly to the line terminals of the circuit breaker. A Rotary or Max-
Flex handle operator can be added to disconnect and lock the breaker
in the off position.

For Short Circuit Protection from up to 500A, we offer the VL
Circuit breakers on Fast Bus Adapters see slide 30
These Fast Bus adapters offer user flexibility in making electrical
connections on the line or load side of the breaker.

For Short Circuit Protection greater than 500A, use the Three
Pole Lug Plate assembly with cover

Provides terminals for the incoming supply from a separately mounted
Circuit Breaker or Fuse Block. These lug kits could also be used to
jumper from one run of Fast Bus to another.

1. These ratings apply to circuit breaker shoes used either as feeder circuit breakers
(power taken from the load side of the circuit breaker to other equipment) or main circuit
breakers (power applied to the bus from the circuit breaker).
2. Kits are pre-assembled up to 90A. Kits above 90A
require shoe to be torqued to busbar prior to assembly.
3. Circuit Breakers are 80% rated.
4. Interrupt ratings based on Circuit Breaker.

Step 4 Select Combination Starters
Fully assembled Starters:
Non-reversing or reversing motor?
Full Load Current of the motor?
Control Voltage?
Number of auxiliary contacts required on the MSP and on the
Contactor?
The 3RA devices can be ordered without any auxiliaries or they can
be ordered with one SPDT contact block that plugs into the top
front of the MSP and one NO contact block that mounts to the front
of the contactor
We recommend using front mount or plug in auxiliary contact
blocks to keep the device width to a minimum
Regardless of which version is ordered, additional auxiliary
contacts can always be added in the field

These starters can also be built from stock components:
For quick component selection, use Section 4 of the catalog to
select a 3RA factory assembled version. To the right of the 3RA
catalog number, you will find a list of the components required for
field assembly
To see a detailed visual of how to assemble these starters, refer to

Note: It is not recommended to build your own circuit breaker assemblies
as Siemens offers these as kits that include the appropriate brackets and mounting hardware.
2010-03 Slide 25/34
Step 6 Determine the Required Length of Busbar

Add the widths of all components that will be mounted to the busbar. Including:
End Supports and Intermediate Supports
Main Circuit Breaker or Main Lug Kit
3RA Combination Starters
Feeder Circuit Breakers
Feeder Lug Kits
Adapters to hold other control products

Determine what additional length may be required for future expansion (if any).
Specify required bracing rating for the system to determine if and how many intermediate
supports are required.
Add the widths of all intermediate supports and end supports, which are 21 mm each.
Add all distances together to determine total length of busbar required.

NOTE:
Make sure that the required busbar length will fit in your control panel. If necessary, break the Fast Bus in to multiple runs
within the cabinet. When breaking in to additional runs, be sure to add the additional end & intermediate supports and any
additional Feeder Lug Kits or Circuit Breakers to your overall length calculation.

Changes in Basic Construction to ensure UL508A Compliance
1. Always specify 8US1922-1AC00 End Cover with
8US1923-3UA01 Busbar Holders. Do not use FBS400F
or FBSXPF in new designs. The 8US1923-3UA01
Busbar Holder also acts as the intermediate support.

2. Always specify 8US1922-2UA01 (Flat Insulator base)

3. Edge profile is not common in U.S. Do not specify as
part of a design if the customer does not request it.

4. No changes

5. Do not use the 5SH3532 top cover and 5SH3533 side
cover combination which is what is comprised with the
FBS400F. This rounded cover is made specifically for
mounting the 3 edge profile.

See next slide for more detail

40mm vs. 60mm Designs:
To clarify North American design requirements, 60mm center to center systems are approved
in the U.S. whereas 40mm systems are not and are predominantly for European systems. For
40mm system components, refer to the LV1 catalog chapter 17 for Fast Bus.
UL Panel Inspection Update:
The use of Fast Bus components must be described under the Panel Builders Procedure
documentation for UL inspection. For all current and future projects, please be sure to provide
