We have a variety of busbar holders and solutions to suit your project. Both copper and aluminum have been tested and certified.
The world’s most advanced and flexible Design Verified busbar systems.
Both copper and aluminum bars have been tested with the Elsteel busbar holders. Both types have achieved equal test results, with aluminum being the most cost effective solution.
Fully insulated busbar systems are also available as standard. We manufacture a range of standard ventilated covers, for busbar joint connections.
So, for every type of busbar system required, Elsteel has it covered. All busbar systems are designed, manufactured and most importantly tested by Elsteel.
The labour saving to assemble busbar systems, helps hugely towards the cost of copper or aluminum material.
Fully Withdrawable inserts are used where very fast changes, upgrades or repairs are essential to your system, whilst the panel remains live. This is typically used on projects where the lives of people are at stake, such as hospitals, railways, tunnels, cement plants etc. Or where high financial costs are at stake. Such as oil & gas platforms, refineries, airports, production lines, etc… The fully withdrawable units can be used for power distribution or MCC.
Removable inserts are also used where very fast changes, upgrades or repairs are essential. The panel can remain live whist the change takes place, however outgoing cables need to be disconnected from the unit before it can be replaced, hence the name removable. This type of unit can be used on projects where plug-in devices are requested and specified. There is no need to buy the circuit breaker manufacturers expensive plug-in base.
Fixed type – All equipment, like circuit breakers, fuse switches, contactors, terminals etc., are connected by bolted cables, flexible braids and solid copper. Fixed type inserts are widely used for schools, factories, gas filling stations etc. Projects where it is ok to isolate the panel in order to do maintenance, repairs or changes.
Protocol can be Modbus, Profibus or Ethernet.
Another great benefit, the yearly thermal monitoring survey that many countries insist on, can be limited or even completely avoided.
