EMR Additional Notes: 

• Busbar – Busway:
  • A busbar is a rigid piece of copper or aluminum, bolted or housed inside switchgear, panel boards, and busway enclosures used to carry large amounts of current / to distribute ac power to the rows of circuit breakers
  • Quite often, busbars have no insulation—they’re protected by a separate enclosure.
  • Busbars are the backbones for most power applications, providing the critical interfaces between the power module and the outside world.
  • They are also used to connect high voltage equipment at electrical switchyards, and low voltage equipment in battery banks.

 

• Cable Trays & Ladders:
  • Electrical cables are supported and routed in industrial and building settings using cable trays & ladders giving cables a path and permit layout modifications with flexibility. Cable trays are wide, flat channels that are typically mounted horizontally to support cables. They are often made of metal, such as steel or aluminium. 
  • Cable ladders are vertical structures with rungs or slots that are used to support cables.

 

• Cable Bus:
  • Cable Bus is a power distribution system using multiple parallel conductors braced in a rigid enclosure. Each conductor is insulated and fully continuous from source to load. A standard range of cable bus systems are available from 600V to 218kV and up to 10,400 amps.
