TECHNICAL FEATURES ■ Eaton Power Xpert XP2 busbar system is constructed from high density 55% conductivity aluminium ■ The low impedance sandwich design: - Improves heat dissipation - Improves short circuit rating - Reduces voltage drop/ impedance compared to cable - Removes potential pathways for flame, smoke and gas to pass through the busbar system ■ The patented process of pressing tabs into the conductor to allow the connection of tap off units ensures that no welding is necessary and protects the integrity of the conductor Note: Case refers to the Aluminium casing been used as an...

Straight Lengths Straight lengths can be supplied at any length between 600mm - 3000mm. Feeder Lengths Feeder lengths account for the bulk of a busbar run. Distribution Lengths Distribution lengths allow tap off units to be plugged into the busbar run. The tap off slot outlet and cover are made from a durable, high strength, Class B, 130°C insulation material. The tap off slot cover prevents access to the contacts behind the cover and protects it from the entry of dirt, dust or moisture. Tap off units are IP55 as standard but higher levels can be achieved upon request. Note: The maximum and...

Flatwise and Edgewise Elbows Flatwise and edgewise elbows are used to make 90° changes in the direction of the busbar system. Eaton can also deliver specially angled elbows for both flatwise and edgewise products. Flatwise Elbow (Up or Down) Ratings Edgewise Elbow (Left or Right) Ratings EATON wb-alu-en

Flatwise Tee Flatwise tee's are used to split one busbar run into two runs going in different directions. This reduces the amount of space needed when supplying two different parts of a building with power. Expansion Units Expansion units are used to accommodate the expansion and contraction of a busbar system as well as allow for building movement. They allow for a 40mm movement along the length of the busbar. Expansion units are recommended when a straight busbar run exceeds 60m. They are installed in the centre of long busbar runs, or at the beginning of riser runs to minimise the stress...

FEED UNITS & END CAPS Cable Feed Units End feed units are used on the ends of busbar risers which are cable fed. They can be on top or the bottom of the busbar. Centre feed units are used in the middle of busbar risers which are cable fed. The size of end feed required depends on a number of End Feed Units rating of busbar size of cable number of cables use of a protective device or isolator End Caps Centre Feed Units End caps are used to safely cap off the end of a busbar run. The end cap units are factory ﬁtted but can be easily removed to allow for the extension of the system. JOINT...

The modular design of the Eaton Power Xpert XP2 busbar system allows it to be installed flat or on its edge. The installation is determined by: - Busbar route - Type of installation - Available space - Size of busbar Edge Installation Edge installation is the preferred method of installation for a smaller rated busbar system. It is also the main method used to install distribution busbar in building risers as tap off units can be connected easily. Flat Installation Flat installation is the preferred method of installation for a higher rated, multistack busbar system. When installed on its...
