Schneider busway is evolving to
meet your needs
Schneider busway on its second world tour
Introduction
■■ More than 50 years of experience, with hundreds of thousands of installations in
operation throughout the world.
■■ Full type test certification (IEC61439) for each and every ampere rating of busway.
A total coordination with the

Schneider Electric system
Busway is a part of a comprehensive offering of Schneider Electric products designed
to operate together. This concept covers all low and medium voltage electrical
distribution components. The result is an optimised electrical installation with even
higher performance through full electrical, mechanical and communication
compatibility.
With the new range, you get a complete, tested distribution solution that complies with
standards. It is perfectly suited to traditional applications (factories, warehouses, etc.)
and to the distribution of electrical power from the incoming transformer on through to
all types of loads in offices, commercial premises, laboratories, etc.
Schneider Busway Factories

Schneider Electric assures you on the product quality in accordance with our global
standards irrespective of the Busway products originating from any Schneider factory
worldwide. We certify the product design and quality meet the exact same standards in
both Schneider Electric Facilities.
Dijon Factory was set up in 1972, manufacturing Canalis Busbar trunking system, ISO
9001 and ISO 14001 certified.
I-LINE busway trunking system was firstly introduced by Square D in 1961 in its
production facility in Oxford, Ohio U.S.A. As one of the major brands of the Schneider
Electric, Square D has acquired worldwide recognition in a variety of busway
applications.
Schneider Busway Guangzhou was initially set up by Square D, USA in 1997, and now
is a professional busway trunking manufacturer, product including I-LINE II and
Canalis series, mainly supplying to the Asia Pacific and Middle East market.

Introduction
Exclusive features of the Schneider Electric system
Total coordination of the Schneider Electric system provides maximum safety of life
and property, continuity of service, upgradeability and ease of installation.
Product characteristics are checked by calculations and tests carried out in our
laboratories and certified in independent international recognized laboratories.
A competitive installation.
Simplicity, upgradeability, safety and continuity of service and operation.
Savings start with installation

With plug-in points, Schneider busbar trunking reduces installation costs.
Given the low cost of adding new circuits, savings increase as the number of loads
increases, a natural consequence of the growth of your business.
Upgradeable during operation

In decentralised distribution, evolving operating requirements and costs are integrated
right from the start.
■■ The addition, relocation or replacement of load equipment can be carried out
quickly, without de-energising the supply trunking or shutting down operation,
■■ The cost of making such changes is greatly reduced:
□□ loads are located close to supply points,
□□ plug-in points are always available,
□□ plug-in units can be reused or new ones added quickly for load relocation or
replacement needs.
Reusable in the event of major changes

When making major modifications to your installation, the existing trunking can be
easily dismantled and reused

Schneider busway, in total
harmony with the environment
Safety of life and property With Schneider Busway, no toxic emission in case of fire
The busbar trunking has a low combustible load. Its construction uses very little
consumable material and is halogen free.
In the event of a fire, the busbar trunking does not emit any gas or toxic smoke.
Introduction
The busbar trunking helps prevent the propagation of a fire through partition walls and
floors.
Halogen-sensitive applications
■■ Public buildings (infrastructures, hospitals, schools, etc.),
■■ Buildings with evacuation difficulties (high-rises, ships, etc.) and service-activity
buildings,
■■ Sensitive processes (production of electronic components, etc.).
Schneider Busway contains no PVCs

When PVCs burn, they produce large amounts of smoke that can be a serious safety
hazard.
■■ Reduced visibility:
Example: □□ risk of panic,
Consequences of a fire in a 100 m2 office with □□ complicates rescue work,
electrical distribution by cables. ■■ Smoke toxicity:
200 kg of cables (i.e. 20 kg of PVC) produces: □□ hydrogen chloride gas (highly toxic),
■■ 4400 m3 of smoke, □□ carbon monoxide (danger of asphyxiation).
■■ 7.5 m3 of hydrochloric acid,
■■ 3.7 kg of corroded steel.
Schneider Busway reduces the risk of exposure to

Health electromagnetic fields
According to the WHO (World Health Organisation), exposure to electromagnetic
fields can be a health hazard starting at levels as low as 0.2 milli-Teslas and could
represent a long-term risk of cancer. Some countries have created standards that
stipulate limits.
All electrical conductors generate magnetic fields proportional to the distance between
them. The design of Schneider busbar trunking with tightly spaced conductors in a
metal enclosure helps to considerably reduce radiated electromagnetic fields.
The electromagnetic field characteristics of Schneider busbar trunking are well-
defined and measurements show that they are far below potentially dangerous levels.
6
Schneider busway, in total
harmony with the environment
Environment Schneider Busway is fully recyclable

■■ Schneider Busway busway trunking can be reused.
Schneider Busway busway trunking is designed for a long service life and can easily
be dismantled, cleaned and reused.
■■ All packaging materials can be recycled (cardboard or recyclable polyethylene film).
Introduction
■■ All Schneider Busway products are designed for safe end-of-life recycling. PVC, on
the other hand, requires neutralisation of the hydrochloric acid produced using lime
and generates dioxins that are extremely toxic.
Schneider Busway helps conserve natural resources

The depletion of raw materials (copper, plastics, etc.) is one of our ongoing concerns.
For this reason, we have optimised the use of all materials used to make our busbar
trunking:
■■ Reduction of dangerous or polluting materials.
■■ Reduction in the weight of insulating materials.
■■ Reduction in the use of plastics for improving fire performance: less energy
Example: released during combustion, thereby limiting propagation and facilitating extinction
1 kg of PVC generates 1 kg of waste. (lower calorific value).
Conservation of natural Schneider Busway reduces your line losses by 20%

Schneider Busway divides your consumption of plastic by a
resources factor of four
The cost of an electrical installation includes the initial investment for the equipment
and its installation, the cost of maintenance and the cost of energy losses during
operation.
The concept of decentralised distribution is a way to merge all the circuits in one and
thus to reduce to the maximum the low cross-section lengths and the weight of
insulating materials.
Example:
34m of 250A Schneider busbar trunking eqipped with 7 sets of 25A load

is the core of your installation
Introduction

Schneider busway, a display of
advantages
A compact solution ■■ The compact size of Schneider busway means it takes up very little space in the
building:
□□ used as a rising main, it takes up only a minimum of space,
□□ used for horizontal distribution, it fits easily into the building’s structure (false floors,
false ceilings, service shafts, etc).
Introduction
■■ Changes in direction have been designed to optimise the space taken up, contrary
to an equivalent installation using cables which requires large bending radii.
■■ Tap-off units, completed with protective devices, are fitted along the entire length of
the busbar trunking thus reducing the floor area taken up by the electrical distribution
switchboards.
A simple and economical ■■ The design study is easy to perform as it does not require a detailed layout of each
load. Equipment choice is pre-determined and optimised.
system ■■ Installing the busbar trunking requires 2 or 3 people only, for a time equivalent to
that for installing cableways. The time normally needed for laying cables is therefore
saved.
■■ Connection to the MV/LV substation is made using a quick fitting joint block. The
plug-in units can be prepared in the workshop thus reducing on-site time. Their
connection to the busbar trunking is done in a single plugging-in operation. For those
ratings more than 500A, it is done by bolt-on operation.
■■ Installing busbar trunking lengths can be done as and when building work
progresses, thus optimising on-site work and allowing possible unexpected events to
be anticipated in advance.
■■ It is also important to note that busbar trunking is a factory tested solution, meaning
the time needed for inspecting connections is reduced (visual inspection of tightening
torque).
10
Schneider busway, a display of
advantages
Complete safety ■■ Busbar trunking temperature rise and short-circuit withstand are known and
independent of the installation. Coordination of the Schneider Electric system results
in complete control of the electrical network.
■■ Installation standards IEC 60 364 chapter 5.523.6 stipulate that above 4 parallel
Introduction
cables, it is preferable to use busbar trunking. Paralleling many cables leads to
uneven distribution of currents and the risk of abnormal temperature rise.
■■ The busbar trunking and plug-in units are designed to guarantee the safety of
personnel and equipment
□□ fully silver-plated cooper contact solution.
□□ bolted connections with tightening torque guaranteed by torque nuts.
□□ foolproof system to avoid the risk of assembly errors.
Its metal enclosure and high protection degree protect the busbar trunking from all
external aggressions (corrosion, rodents, etc).
Seismic compliance The complete standard offer of I-Line and Canalis busway is certified for Zone 4 seismic
conditions as witness and approved by mechanical and dynamic tests, at EERTC
(Earthquake Engineering Research & Test Centre) in China, as well as electrical
verification test performed by CEST under IECEE CB scheme.
For projects under seismic conditions, consult your local Schneider office to provide you
more information.
Operating continuity When working on the electrical installation, the busbar trunking provides immediate
readability of the electrical circuit thus allowing the appropriate zone to be quickly
identified.
The quality of the electrical contacts guarantees maintenance free operating continuity.
All I-LINE plug-in units are compatible with I-LINE II busbar trunking system, regardless
they bear MCCB or fusible switch.

mounting position.
■■ The accumulation of dirt on exposed bus bars and possibility of accidental contact
with bus bar are greatly reduced.
■■ No “Chimney” effect
Continuous air spaces inside I-line busway housing are closed off with special barriers
to help prevent the spread of smoke and gases in the event of a fire in the area of the
busway installation. This standard internal barrier allows busway to extend through wall
or floors without creating open space for a “chimney effect” fire path.
■■ Improve system’s ventilation, satisfy higher ampere rating
■■ Less space required for installation, investment saving
■■ Free of orientation
■■ 7500V DC testing
The I-LINE II busbar trunking is suitable for applications containing harmonics by taking
into account the appropriate derating factor. See “Harmonic currents” in the Design
guide.

Description Plug-in Unit
I-LINE II
Product features of I-LINE II plug-in unit
Compatibility
All plug-in units are compatible with I-LINE II busbar trunking system.
Plug-in device mounting

Plug-in units are positioned along the busbar trunking length by notches in the busbar
trunking housing top which accept the mounting hooks of the plug-in unit. This aligns the
plug-in unit jaws with the plug-in opening. After the unit is positioned on the busway, it is
allowed to swing down into the plug-in opening where the plug-in jaws connect to the
busbars.
Description
Spring jaw design
■■ The spring jaw is composed of different metal – copper and steel.
■■ The spring design ensures the plug-in jaw always has firm and tight contact with the
busbar regardless of hundreds of times of operation and temperature fluctuation.
Earthing
■■ Earthing establishs at first and switches off at last as to protect worker against
electrical contact shock.
■■ All plug-in devices incorporate an earthing spring which cuts through the paint and
forms an equipment earth between the housing and the body of the device before the
phase jaws connect to the busbars.
Triple interlock
■■ Plug-in unit can not be switched ON until it is installed in the right position.
■■ When the unit is switched ON, the door can not be opened or removed from the
busway.
■■ When the door is open, the unit can not be switched ON.
Operating handle
■■ The side operating handle in the PIU makes the heavy duty switch more convenient
and safer.
■■ When the PIU is installed in the high position, you can easily operate the PIU on the
group by the side handle.
Safe protection
■■ All plug-in units equip with Schneider original circuit breaker only, fully compatible with
busway system.
■■ Schneider circuit breaker can provide complete overload, short circuit and earthing
malfunction protection.
■■ Transparent shield inside the PIU can prevent a direct contact with live part.
Accurate measurement and easy communication

■■ Schneider plug-in unit can measure and display all kinds of electrical data accurately.
■■ With communication module, the date of plug-in unit can be accessed through
network, making power management easier for you.

4-Checking the rating with respect to allowable voltage drop.

The voltage drop between the start and all points of use must not be greater than the
values in the table below：
Installation supplied by: Lighting Other use

Low voltage public distribution network 3% 5%
High voltage distribution network 6% 8%
The voltage drop of I-LINE II busbar trunking system with concentrated load can be
found in page(80-81).and also can be calculated using the following formular:
u=k×√3 ×(R1cosᵩ+X1sinᵩ)×Ib×L
where
u the composite voltage drop of the system(V)

R1 and X1 the mean resistance and reactance values of the system(/m)
Ib the current of the circuit being considered(A)
L the length of the system being considered(M)
cosᵩ the load power factor being considered
k the load distribution factor
Design guide
If the voltage drop exceeds the allowable limits,choose the next rating up.Re-check
the voltage drop of the new rating.
80
Trunking System
I-LINE II
5-Checking the rating and choice of circuit breaker with respect to short-circuit withstand current
Short-circuit current withstand is shown in page(80-81).

This value must be greater than the prospective short-circuit current,at all points of the
installation.
■■ Calculate the short-circuit current value at the worst case points.
■■ Check the chosen rating allows the busbar trunking to cope with this short-circuit
current.
If this is not the case,there are 2 possible solutions:
■■ choose a higher rating busbar trunking and re-check,
■■ provide a peak current limiting protection system upstream of the busbar trunking.
6-Protecting against busbar trunking overloads.
To allow for extensions,the busbar trunking is generally protected at its nominal

current Inc (or its allowable current Iz if the ambient temperature coefficient k1 is
applied).
■■ Circuit breaker protection:
□□ adjust lr of the circuit breaker such that:
Iz=Ib×k1≤Ir≤Inc
Circuit breaker protection allows the I-LINE II busbar trunking to be used at full
capacity because the standardised nominal current In of the circuit breaker is In≤Inc/
Design guide
K2 where K2=1.
■■ Protection using gG(gL)fuse:
□□ determine the standardised nominal current In of the fuse such that:In≤Inc/K2
□□ where K2=1.1.
□□ choose the standardised rating In that is equal to or just lower.
Check the following condition:IN≥Ib×k1=Iz.
If this condition is not met,choose the busbar trunking with the next rating up.
Note:using gL fuses for protection means reducing the busbar trunking's allowable
current.
81
Design guide Harmonic Current
I-LINE II
Origin of harmonic Harmonic current is caused by non-linear loads connected to distribution systems,i.e.
by loads that draw current with a waveform different that that of the voltage that
current supplies them.
The most common non-linear loads are equipment including rectifiers,fluorescent

lighting and computer hardware.
In installations with a distributed neutral, non-linear loads may cause significant

overloads in the neutral conductor due to the presence of third-order harmonics.
Harmonic order
The order is the ratio
between the harmonic
frequency fn and the
fundamental
frequency(generally the
power frequency,50 or 60
Hz):n=fn/f1
By definition,the
fundamental f1 is order
1(H1).
Third-order
harmonics(H3)have a
frequency of 150
Hz(when f1=50 Hz)
Estimating THD(total harmonic The presence of third-order harmonics depends on the applications involved.
It is necessary to carry out an in-depth study on each non-linear load to determine the
distortion) level of H3:
ih3(%)=100×i3/i1
■■ i3=rms current of H3
■■ i1=rms current of the fundamental
Assuming that H3 is preponderant among harmonics,the THD is close to the value of
H3(ih3(%)).
Design guide
There are two decisive factors:

■■ the types of connected devices:
□□ disturbing loads:fluorescent lighting,computer hardware,rectifiers,arc furnaces,etc.,
□□ non-disturbing loads:heating,motors,pumps,etc.,
■■ the ratio between the two types of disturbing loads.

A support point as close as possible to the connections is needed because

transformers, generator sets and switchboards must not support the weight of the
busbar trunking.
In some industries, for service continuity reasons, transformers may be replaced
quickly. The busbar trunking must be able to support itself.
The maximum recommended distance between supports is 3 metres.

1 Installation principle
Installation at each floor of:

■■ a 4 or 6 feet riser section,
■■ a made to measure transport section to go through the floor slab,
■■ a busbar trunking support.
2 Installation feed
The installation feed is achieved using either a cable end box or by a flanged end
connection to an electrical distribution switchboard.
3 Busbar trunking supports
The supports fix the vertical run section to the building structure – a floor slab support.
It can be fixed to either the wall, to a wall bracket or directly to the floor.
This type of fixing support has the following advantages:
■■ fitting to either the wall, to a wall bracket or directly to the floor,
■■ spring adjustment to ensure distribution of the load at each floor,
■■ absorption of building stresses with respect to the busbar trunking (expansion,
vibration, etc) thanks to the springs.

Checking insulation between live conductors

These measurements and checks can only be performed if:
■■ each link is disconnected by an isolating device,
■■ each link is disconnected from the upstream transformer, with the main circuit
breaker upstream of the LV switchboard unplugged and in the open position.
Test means: 500V DC megger (DC to avoid capacitive currents)
Measurements: 6 measurements between live conductors (between phases and
then between each phase and neutral).
LV circuit insulation value (U < 500 Volts): 1000 ohms/volt of nominal voltage
(IEC 61439-6) allowed.
In all cases, the insulation resistance must not be less than 0.5 MΩ for each link
(operating device).
Note: I-LINE II busbar trunking is given for U = 1000V and Ri = 1 MΩ (value to be

taken into account for all elements: transport and accessories, distribution).
For detailed connection, please contact your local Schneider Electric office.

I-LINE II
Checking the earth network and locks Earth network

Check:
■■ the galvanised steel casing sides are earthed (note: this depends on the earthing
system),
■■ connection quality,
■■ cable cross-section,
■■ there are no loose metal parts (washers, screws) in the plug-in units.
Note: the results of these checks must have already been noted on the results
sheet by the installation contractor.
Checking insulation between live conductors and earth

Following this check, each link must be reconnected to the upstream transformer
(use the 2nd available 6 daN.m torque bolt heads).
Test means: 500V DC megger (DC to avoid capacitive currents)

Measurements: between each phase or neutral(1) and earth (the casing if it is
connected to earth).
LV circuit insulation value (U < 500 V): 1000 Ω of nominal voltage (IEC 61439-6)
allowed.
In all cases, the insulation resistance must not be less than 0.5 MΩ for each link
(operating device).
Note: I-LINE II busbar trunking is given for U = 1000 V and Ri = 1 MΩ (value to be

taken into account for all elements: transport and accessories, distribution).
(1) No neutral insulation if the earthing system is such that the neutral is connected to or used as
the earth.
Caution: In this case, once the transformer has been reconnected (star secondary), the
phase-earth measurement is the winding resistance.
PE protective circuit equipotential

Reference: IEC 61439-6:
Check PE protective circuit continuity by visual inspection and random continuity
testing.
The previously performed “phases-PE” insulation test must have been compliant.
Test means: ohmmeter.
Locks
To protect personnel by not allowing access to live parts through the use of locks.
Only concerns key operated safety locks.
STEPS TO TAKE BEFORE ENERGIZING

Before energizing the busway, conduct an insulation resistance test on the busway
run. The megohm readings should not be less than the value calculated from the
following formula, neither less than 5 Megohms. (If not, please contact your local
Schneider Electric office.)
Megohms=100/length of run (in feet) or Megohms=30.5/length of run (in meters)

I-LINE II
De-energised equipment operating tests Checking source circuit breaker protection settings
Compliance check in accordance with the installation drawing specifications:
■■ Imax thermal,
■■ In magnetic.
Note: this check is only to be performed if the busbar trunking is commissioned

at the same time as the transformer: the source circuit breaker protection setting
checks are related to transformer commissioning.
Check not relevant if the transformer has already been commissioned.
If this check is successful, the busbar trunking can be commissioned and

the energised operating tests performed with the appropriate protective
equipment
Commissioning and energised NOTE: commissioning can only be carried out by personnel with appropriate
equipment operating tests authorisations.
Preliminary operation: energising the off-load transformer.

Closing the source circuit breaker.
Checking phase order

Objective: to detect, in order to correct, an inversion of the phases or neutral
amongst the busbar trunking’s 4 incoming and outgoing connections with respect to
the transformer output.
Test means: roto-phase or 3-phase harmonic analyser.
If busbar trunking energising is successful, a progressive start-up of the factory

must be requested to definitively validate commissioning.
If unsuccessful, the previous checks must be carried out again to try and
locate the fault. Before undertaking this, the equipment must once again be
made safe.
Final putting into service test

This test is performed once the busbar trunking has been energised. The
progressive start-up of loads will highlight any undesirable phenomena due to the
increased average load.
Real life operating test

Once the high power busbar trunking has been energised, the other busbar
trunking must be gradually put into service starting with those furthest from the
load, then each load itself, those with high pull-in currents, then the lighting,
contactors, heating, motors, etc.
There must not be excessive vibration, and no sparkovers should be observed.

Installation guide
The test simply consists of checking correct busbar trunking operation according
to:
■■ the average number of machines in operation,
■■ the load variation of each individual load,
■■ the simultaneous operation of machines (superimposing of peaks).
If everything is in order, the busbar trunking is declared “in-service”.

Testing is completed.

I-LINE II
Danger RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, BURNS OR EXPLOSION

The installation, operation and maintenance of the equipment must only be
carried out by qualified electrical maintenance staff. This document must not be
considered as being a sufficient means for allowing non-qualified staff to undertake
the operation and maintenance of the equipment.
■■ Cut the electrical supply to the busbar trunking before installing, removing or
working on the equipment.
■■ Always use a suitable nominal voltage detection means to confirm the supply has
been cut.
■■ Effective use of the equipment requires the implementation of appropriate
handling, installation, functioning and maintenance operations.
If these instructions are not respected, there is a risk of serious injury or

death.
Warning RISK OF DAMAGING THE EQUIPMENT

Hydrocarbon aerosols and aerosols using a hydrocarbon base may cause the
deterioration of certain plastics.
Before using certain products to clean, dry or lubricate the different components
during installation or maintenance, consult your nearest Schneider Electric office.
If these instructions are not respected, the equipment may deteriorate

leading to a risk of serious injury or death.
I-line II busbar trunking has been designed for minimum maintenance.

Straight length Inspect the busbar trunking once a year, or after all serious incidents concerning
electrical short-circuits or earthing faults.
Carry out the following maintenance procedures:

■■ meticulously inspect all visible electrical connections and joints. Do not remove
joint covers. Check the nuts and bolts are correctly tightened,
■■ use a torque wrench to check bolt tightening torques.
The tightening torque is marked on the connection block and the following values
must be respected:
Bolt Tightening torque

HM 16 16 mdaN
HM 14 12 mdaN
HM 12 7 mdaN
HM 10 5 mdaN
If one of the joints or terminals is highly discoloured, corroded or pitted, or shows

signs it has been exposed to high temperatures, the material concerned must be
replaced with new factory mounted material. Consult your local Schneider Electric
office for all replacements,
■■ ensure all mechanisms are in good working order.
Lubricate the moving parts of the various mechanisms if necessary. Similarly,
remove all excess lubrication to avoid undesirable foreign bodies from gathering,
■■ check the insulation resistance before re-energising the busbar trunking.
It is recommended that resistance measurements are recorded. If these values
Installation guide
decrease significantly over time, it means deterioration is underway.

Carry out an insulation resistance test in compliance with the instructions given in
the “testing and comissioning procedure” section.
Re-energise the equipment in accordance with the instructions given in the “testing
and comissioning procedure” section.
103
Installation guide Maintenance
Recycling
I-LINE II
After having performed all the necessary inspections and repairs mentioned above,
it may be desirable to carry out infrared temperature measurements on all the
electrical connections. This operation must be done once the busbar trunking has
been re-energised and reached a stabilized temperature.
Responsibility
Schneider Electric declines all responsibility for maintenance carried out in a
non-compliant way with respect to specifications or installation regulations, for
inappropriate storage conditions, for inappropriate product environments (chemical
and ambient conditions, atmospheric conditions, etc.), for the incorrect use of the
products, and for the non-respect of installation and/or connection procedures.
Distribution plug-in units Contact between busbar trunking and plug-in units.
Busbar trunking contacts consist of spring silver plated contact jaws to ensure
optimum contact quality. The contacts do not use plastic for their support or
transmission of force.
They are connected to the live conductors of the run at the plug-in outlets. Silver-
plated copper conductors are used at the place of contact.
These devices are maintenance-free.
Cable connection
Cable connection of the feeders are via terminals or lugs.
As with all screw connections, it is recommended that tightening torque be checked
one year after installation and then to space-out the checks.
Protection switchgear
For all devices fitted in I-LINE tap-off units, the manufacturer’s recommendations
must be complied with.
Checking appearance
It is recommended the external cleanliness of the tap-off units be checked yearly
to remove dust, water and oil deposits, may affect thermal cooling and all other
conductive bodies from the sensitive zones.
Check for signs of shock which may affect the protection degree.
Recycling busbar trunking

I-LINE II busbar trunking can be reused. I-LINE II busbar trunking is designed for a
long service life and can easily be dismantled, cleaned and reused.
All packaging materials can be recycled (cardboard or recyclable polyethylene

film).
All I-LINE II products are designed for safe end-of-life recycling. PVC, on the other
hand, requires neutralisation of the hydrochloric acid produced using lime and
generates dioxins that are extremely toxic.
I-LINE II helps conserve natural resources

The depletion of raw materials (copper, plastics, etc.) is one of our ongoing
Installation guide
concerns.
For this reason, we have optimised the used of all materials used to make our
busbar trunking.
■■ Reduction of dangerous or polluting materials. We design our products to meet
future worldwide directives.
■■ Reduction in the weight of insulating materials.
■■ Reduction in the use of plastics for improved fire performance: less energy
released during combustion, thereby limiting propagation and facilitating extinction
(lower calorific value).
