2. If temperature deviation exceeds 55 K or differs by more than 15 K from initial installation checks, contact Legrand Technical support.
3. Verify connection screws for correct torque (85 Nm).
Design Example:
1. The SCP line offers customization for specific requirements such as continuous current systems, stainless steel casing, and various conductor versions.
2. For undefined paths, order sections with direction changes initially and complete straight sections later.
3. Example system path measurements are provided for reference.

The busbar is the most modern solution for the distribution of energy in an installation for machinery, equipment and lighting fittings, in all types of buildings such as warehouses, trade fairs. The busbar is also frequently used to power the (horizontal and vertical) backbones of buildings used for the commercial-service sectors, thus observing the time required for the installation and providing a final solution with remarkable technical advantages. Legrand’s busbars, available in 3 segmented ranges (Low Power, Medium Power and High Power), are able to meet all installation requirements, from...

Easy The electric design of the busbars is achieved in compliance with the product Standards. The rated current of our busbars is guaranteed at a room average temperature of 40 °C (n.d.r. the Standard requires 35°C). After choosing the busbar which is able to meet the operating current regulations, it will be very easy to verify the voltage drop as well as the protection against overcurrents by using the technical tables available for all our production lines. In particular, these tables define a wide range of technical data which allow the planning engineer to carry out calculations with electric...

ADVANTAGE Flexibility By using the outlet windows located on the straight elements, the busbars provide high management flexibility, both when planning (electrical engineer) and when installing the system (installer); they are also used for the unavoidable changes required by the electric system to adapt to the varied needs of the end user during the life of plant. The junction boxes can be inserted and removed from their outlets when the busbar is electrically powered and inserted in another plug outlet, thus avoiding downtime. Example of lighting and small power distribution The engineering...

Quick installation The busbar’s junction and fixing systems have been designed and created to install busbars easily. In a cable and tray system, the time required to install only the tray is the same used to install a complete system in busbars. Furthermore, given the same capacity, a power busbar, which generally has aluminium conductors, is much lighter than a system made with (copper) cables: lighter weights require a lower number of supporting frames or, in any case, more simple and inexpensive supporting frames. That is why the installation time of a busbar is obviously shorter than a similar...
