- Cable Bus is a system for distributing power from one
electrical apparatus to another using insulated power
cables inside of a protective metal housing.
|
|
- Cable Bus is designed to carry large amounts of electrical
power for use within power generation and industrial plants
for service entrance, main feeders, distribution applications
and for retrofits for existing power systems.
|
|
- Typical applications include connections between
transformers and switchgear, tie connections between two
switchgears, between motor control centers and large
motors and generator to generator breakers or generator
step-up transformers.
|
|
- Cable Bus is a competitive alternative to conventional non-
segregated phase bar bus, cable tray with armored cable
and conduit & wire systems. This is due to Cable Bus
having lower cost, higher reliability, greater flexibility, easier
installation and longer life expectancy. This makes Cable
Bus the obvious choice for your power distribution needs.
|
|
- Advanced Cable Bus systems have an ampacity range from
800A to 6000A and voltage ratings of 600V, 5kV, 15kV, 25kV
and 35kV.
|
|
- Each system is custom designed and manufactured to
meet your specific job requirements.
|
|
- Advanced Cable Bus systems use a compact metal
housing that is 50% ventilated taking full advantage of the
free air rating of the cables. This allows using fewer
conductors, saving you installation time and money.
|
|
- Cables are held securely using Cable Support blocks that
are held in place in the housing using our Short Circuit
Brace. The combination of these two elements, the Cable
Support Blocks and the Short Circuit Brace, allow the Cable
Bus systems to withstand short circuit forces of up to 100KA
RMS symmetrical, keeping personnel safe in case a fault
occurs.
