LSC Wiring System

Product catalog summary
General Information: LÜTZE has been a pioneer in electronic and electrical engineering solutions for over 50 years. The LSC wiring system, launched in 1972, enhances control cabinet efficiency in terms of space, time, and cost, while meeting high industrial standards.
Designs: The LSC system offers several designs:
  • LSC-BRACKET: Ideal for medium to large cabinets, providing front access for wiring and maintenance, optimizing space and reducing costs.
  • LSC-COMPACT: A smaller, lighter design for medium and smaller cabinets, also allowing front access and external wiring.
  • LSC-DISTANCE and LSC-ALPHA: Lightweight solutions with specific wiring configurations for various cabinet sizes.
Mounting: Detailed mounting procedures for different LSC frames, including compatibility with various cabinet types and specific mounting aids and rails.
Wiring Accessories: Includes wiring combs and covers for organized and efficient wiring.
Accessories: Various mounting aids and EMC accessories enhance installation and performance.
Technical Information: Detailed specifications on wiring, vibration and shock tests, conductivity, and material properties, along with ordering information and application examples.
System Advantages: The LSC system offers effective space utilization, front accessibility, systematic flexibility, and improved climate control within cabinets, reducing cooling needs and environmental impact.
Environmental and Economic Benefits: The LSC system is environmentally friendly, with ecological advantages over traditional steel panel systems, and offers economic benefits through increased system availability and reduced retrofitting costs.
Specifications and Uses:
1. Square Rail with Four Grooves (Art. no 3301382): Suitable for large and heavy frames, allowing installation of various applications due to its symmetrical groove arrangement.
2. CTE Support Rail (Art. no 3321502): Used for lighter frames of the C series, utilizing grooves for M6 nuts to fasten side supports and rails.

Support Rails: Serve as frame struts for attaching brackets or other rail supports in both vertical and horizontal directions, compatible with LSC-ALPHA, LSC-BRACKET, and LSC-DISTANCE systems.

Mounting Systems:
1. Adapter Rail RG: Used for additional component mounting without hat rail fastening, allowing flexible positioning.
2. Adapter Rail C-RG: Similar to RG but requires drilled fastening points.

Brackets and Side Supports: Connect vertical support rails with horizontal mounting rails, creating a cable route similar to a cable duct. Side supports economize space in control housings in the LSC-COMPACT system.

Wiring Accessories: Includes wiring combs and covers for secure fixing of wires, with various types available for different wire sizes and configurations.

Mounting Aids: Includes bolts, nuts, tooth lock washers, and various brackets and straps for secure installation and fastening of components.

EMC Accessories:
1. EMC Shield Rails: New generation rails for shield brackets, offering high connection options.
2. Ribbon Earthers: Tin-plated copper mesh for high-frequency current displacement.

Technical Information:
1. Wiring Information: LÜTZE LSC-BRACKET systems allow front-side wiring, with defined paths to avoid taut wires.
2. Vibration and Shock Test: The Lütze LSC wiring system meets EN 61373 standards, ensuring reliability under mechanical stress.
Overview: Technical information on aluminum's performance in electrical applications, specifications for control cabinet components, and installation guidelines. Includes results from a study on aluminum's oxidation resistance and detailed specifications for control cabinet components.
1. Aluminum Oxidation Resistance: A study showed aluminum profiles maintain electrical properties under extreme oxidation, with only a 10% change in resistance, below the 150% change permitted by standards.
2. Control Cabinet Specifications: Standard dimensions for control cabinets, including cabinet width, mounting rail length, and frame width, with details on installation depths.
3. Material Specifications: Details on materials used in control cabinets, including strain resistance, surface finish, and fire class ratings according to UL standards. Materials include aluminum, steel, PP, ABS, and PVC, with operating temperatures from 0 to 60°C.
4. Installation Guidelines: Installation examples and guidelines for using LSC-BRACKET and LSC-COMPACT systems in control cabinets, including suitable bolts and side support installations.
5. Technical Data: Detailed technical data on current capacity, tightening torques for threaded connections, and weights of components, with ordering information for rails.
6. Application Examples: Examples of cable fixing in comb profiles and installation scenarios for LSC-COMPACT and LSC-BRACKET systems.
7. Contact Information: Contact details for Lütze offices in Germany, the UK, the USA, Austria, Switzerland, France, Spain, and China.

LSC system advantages Effective use of space The LSC wiring system allows considerable reduction in the size of control cabinets. This allows minimisation of the productive area and the costs involved. Accessible from the front Lütze’s ready-made LSC frames are installed instead of the mounting panel. Component fitting and wiring take place from the front. The frames are constructed in such a way that wiring running behind the rails can be accessed from the front at any time. Systematic flexibility The range of aluminium profiles allows adaptation to almost any control component. The modular...

LÜTZE-LSC - an ecological and economical hit LSC protects the environment Independent studies, e.g. that of the WHT Institute, have clearly shown the ecological strengths of the material of the LSC wiring system: In all the tests carried out, the LÜTZE aluminium system was able to deal far better with any environmental loads through out its lifespan than a control cabinet structure with a steel mounting panel. LSC - Quality which pays An economic comparison produces equally clear results. An LSC wiring frame increases system availability. This can make real savings. In addition, the reuse of...

2. Designs 2.1 LSC-BRACKET With the LSC-BRACKET system, the mounting rails are attached to the support rails using brackets. The rails are used to accept the control system components. The brackets help to provide additional space to accept the wiring plane and also offer optimum wiring, even in the case of re-wiring or rapid troubleshooting during servicing, and ensure a stable structure. The loose, vertical cable runs in the brackets, means that each wire can easily be traced. LSC-BRACKET: Most economic use of space in the control cabinet, mounting and wiring on two planes with front access...

• Optimum use of space for mediumsized and smaller control cabinets • Low construction height • Very light design with greatest stability LSC-COMPACT The smaller, lighter design of the Lütze wiring system is called LSC-COMPACT. Here too, the philosophy of economical use of space in a control housing applies. The space for the wiring plane is gained using side supports, which are screw tight to the mounting rails, the rails for the control components and the support rail. With the LSC-COMPACT too, wiring only takes place from the front. The frame can also be equipped and wired outside the control...

2. Designs 2.3 LSC-DISTANCE, LSC-ALPHA LSC-DISTANCE Make two into one: the advantages of the stable version of the rails for the LSC-ALPHA and LSC-BRACKET frames, combined with the lighter design from the LSC-COMPACT product range. As the space for the rear wiring compartment is created using 50 mm high supports, the LSCDISTANCE system does not require brackets. The system can be used in any cabinets/modular cabinets and, due to the fastening, in the rear cabinet position, has sufficient depth, for frequency converters. With the LSC-DISTANCE system, wires and cables are run on the rear side,...

3. Mounting 3.5 Mounting of the components on the frame With classic hat rail applications, the rail widths can be adjusted for the appropriate switching components. If components have to be mounted over multiple rails but without a locking foot in the area of the hat rails, then hat rail adapters and adapter rails can be of use here. The two articles make any form of mounting possible. The use of rails with glide nut grooves allow easy, lost cost housing of components in the cabinet. Fig. current rail system. RG rail with slots for free mounting without drilling.
