    Power Plug Specs Vs Specified Busway

    Uploaded by

    Bibin Joy
    This document summarizes the key features and benefits of Powerduct busways compared to other busway competitors. Some key points include: - Powerduct uses an aluminum housing with cooling fins which provides superior corrosion protection compared to sheet steel housings used by others. - Powerduct's busways undergo extensive testing and certification to international standards including IP55/66 ratings, testing at 50 degree ambient temperatures, and seismic testing up to grade 7. - Powerduct uses a hybrid insulation of epoxy and mylar for water resistance and reliability, as well as 99.9% pure copper bus bars, tin plating, and individual joint stacks for better connections. - Powerduct provides local support

    GENERAL

    POWERDUCT BUSWAYS

    COMPARION WITH OTHER BUSWAYS

    HOUSING

    Total extruded anodized Aluminum Busway with additional Most other competitor offer Sheet Steel housing which has
    cooling fins for greater heart dissipation and short circuit poor corrosion resistance performance and has to be coated
    with special protective coating for corrosion resistance.
    withstand.
    Benefits;
    1. Superior corrosive protection
    2. Suitable to be installed in highly humidity environment
    3. Super compact and Lighter in weight
    4. Good mechanical and structuring strength
    5. Excellent in carrying ground/earth capacity
    6. Excellent finishing
    7. Greater heat dissipation to providing lower impedance and
    temperature rise.
    8. Non-magnetic composition
    9. Higher Short Circuit withstand
    10. Better Ingress Protection

    2. verification of dielectric properties (8.2.2);
    3. verification of short-circuit strength (8.2.3);
    4. verification of the effectiveness of the protective circuit (8.2.4);
    5. verification of clearances and creepage distances (8.2.5);

    Additional tested for ambient 50 degree C under KEMA

    Tap off box tests ratings are different for different brands;
    <200A for some brands.
    Powerduct Busduct Tap off Unit is tested for 800A based on
    the Thermal cycling test conducted on 800A Tap Off Unit.
    Many competitor suppliers are not European market
    compliant or allowed to use the CE marking.

    Few busducts are tested at 50 degree ambient from the


    Test labs at the actual site conditions. (see attached )
    Very few busducts are seismic tested at grade 7 (extreme)
    levels.

    at 50 degree celcius.
    Additionally tested for seismic withstand tests (grade 7) as
    per latest building codes for UAE.
    Powerduct Busways are tested and complaint to CE marking
    requirements. (see attached)

    INSULATION

    Double insulation = Epoxy + Mylar to provide excellent in water


    resistance and superior dielectric- Hybrid Insulation

    All competitors offer either Epoxy or Mylar insulation.


    Hybrid insulation offers the best insulation protection of
    each material- thereby ensuring reliable and trouble free
    performance.

    BUS BAR DESIGN

    Total sandwich type Busduct = rating from 400A -6300A


    Super Compact
    Lower Impedance
    Easy installation
    Save space
    Higher flexibility for installation

    Some busways have bulkier dimensions and large


    expansion joints and also offer standard elbows.
    The elbows of Powerduct designs are tailor made hence
    allow special designs to suit site requirement.

    JOINT

    Individual joint stack (Mono bloc Fish Plate joint) with Belleville Some competitor offer Male female joint. This joint is with
    washer and Double headed bolt with tightening tag indicator- to only a single bolt tightening even for higher rating.
    provide better contact and connection.
    It is difficult to isolate the busway sections and also joint
    Can be disconnected without adjustment or dismantling of the entire contact surface are minimal in comparison to the Fish Plate
    busduct section to isolate the connection. Belleville washer provides joints. (see attached)
    excellent in contact pressure sustain. Double headed bolt provide
    faster and convenience during installation and Tightening tag
    indicator provides better visually inspection to ensure all the joint
    proper tightening.

    BUS BARS

    1. Pure Copper 99.9% copper composition & conductivity Only few suppliers provide busducts with copper purity of
    99.9%
    excess of 98% IACS.
    2. The entire contact surface electroplated with tin to provide
    better connection, provide lower resistance and voltage drop.

    Bus bars
    configuration

    Starting from 3P-3W to maximum 6 bars 200% Neutral. Internal Standard designs 4P-4W without Cu earth bar is the
    copper ground available upon specification. Tested 4P-5W with tested configuration for some competitors in the test
    50% Cu earth configuration.

    Plug in Outlets & IEC 60439-2 & IEC 60529, full type tested up to 800A.
    Plug In Unit

    The Tap off box tests ratings is different for different


    competitors brands which is even <200 A for some brands.
    Powerduct Busduct Tap off Unit is tested for 800A based on
    the Thermal cycling test conducted on 800A Tap Off Unit
    Not tested and some tested only for less than 200A.

    Special Features

    Thermal Indicator- to provide precautious warning to the bus bars No Thermal indicator
    overheating due to improper installation or overloaded.

    Ingress Protection

    Standard IP54 IP68 (optional) IP designs. Powerduct is tested with Most competitors offer a separate IP65 Test certificate
    IP55/66 on the tested busducts and on the KEMA test report.
    and not on the main test certificate which is IP 54 or even
    lesser.

    KEMA-KUER
    Certification

    Powerduct has KEMA-KEUR Certification that ensures that the Many Competitors do not have KEMA-KUER or ASTA
    similar product to that tested will be manufactured and tested to DIAMOND certification that will ensure that tested
    site.
    designs will be supplied to the site or whether there will
    be any change in design. (see attached)

    Local Support

    Excellent local project support and direct warrantees in Middle Few competitors have exclusive agency in UAE and
    east through UAE office.
    operate through local agents that offer back to back
    warrantees from manufacturers.
