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.

Schneider busbar trunking

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.

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.
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

Example:
Consequences of a fire in a 100 m2 office with
electrical distribution by cables.
200 kg of cables (i.e. 20 kg of PVC) produces:
4400 m3 of smoke,
7.5 m3 of hydrochloric acid,
3.7 kg of corroded steel.

Health

When PVCs burn, they produce large amounts of smoke that can be a serious
safety hazard.
Reduced visibility:
risk of panic,
complicates rescue work,
Smoke toxicity:
hydrogen chloride gas (highly toxic),
carbon monoxide (danger of asphyxiation).

Schneider Busway reduces the risk of exposure to


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 micro-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 welldefined and measurements show that they are far below potentially dangerous
levels.

K9CE01030

Environment

Schneider Busway is fully recyclable

Schneider Busway busbar trunking can be reused.


Schneider Busway 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 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

Example:
1 kg of PVC generates 1 kg of waste.

Conservation of natural
resources

The depletion of raw materials (copper, plastics, etc.) is one of our ongoing
concerns.
For this reason, we have optimised the used 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 improved fire performance: less energy
released during combustion, thereby limiting propagation and facilitating extinction
(lower calorific value).

Schneider Busway reduces your line losses by 20 %


Schneider Busway divides your consumption of plastic by a
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.

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 buildings structure (false
floors, false ceilings, service shafts, etc).
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, complete 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


system

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.
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).

Schneider Electric

K9CE02010

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
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 with more information in particular on hangers and supports.

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.
Plug-in units(<40A) can be plugged-in and out without the need for a shutdown;
service continuity is thus irreproachable.
The quality of the electrical contacts guarantees maintenance free operating
continuity.

A large range of plug-in units


All I-LINE plug-in units are compatible with I-LINE II busbar trunking system,
regardless whether they bear MCCB or fusible switch.
Plug-in unit with Merlin Gerlins MCCB, ampere rating from 15A to 1000A
Plug-in unit with Square Ds MCCB, ampere rating from 15A to 1600A

Description

Universal Installation, no need to consider de-rating factor, regardless of the


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 systems ventilation, satisfy higher ampere rating
Less space required for installation, investment saving

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.

Joint Pak
Joint-Pak is standard on I-LINE II system. It allows for quick removal of lengths
from the busbar trunking runs for load shifting or maintenance. It also can be
removed and relocated on the opposite end of the length for the last minutes job
changes
Single bolt connection makes installation faster
Belleville washer provides equal pressure across the complete joint contact area
to assure proper electrical contact
Double, Silver plated surface contact ensure a good current continuity.
Adjustable range: +/- 3mm

VIST-TITE Bolt

The double head design, introduced by Square D in 1967, allows the customer to
tighten the joint to the proper torque using a standard spanner. The outer head will
break off when the correct torque is achieved. A second bolt head remains to allow
for joint maintenance or busbar relocation. No need to purchase a replacement
bolt. For maintenance of the joint or when busway is relocated, the VISIT-TITE bolt
should be tightened to 70 lb-ft (95Nm) with a torque wrench

Plug-in Units

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, regardless
whether they bear MCCB or fusible switch.

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 plugin jaws make contact with the bus bars. This is accomplished in hook-swing.

Plug-in Jaws

The plug-in jaws contact to the bus bars directly with the silver plated cooper
contact. The contact surface is fully silver plated to ensure a proper contact force
and low contact resistance.

Earthing

Earthing established at first and switched 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 make contact with the busbars.

Interlock

30 A to 250 A plug-in devices are interlocked with the busway housing to prevent
installation or removal of the unit when the disconnect is turned ON.
All devices incorporates an interlock to prevent the door over the disconnect
from being opened when the unit is ON. This door interlock can be defeated from
outside the unit.

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.

Protection function

Schneider Plug-in unit equipped with Schneider original protection unit, which
can provide complete overload protection, short circuit protection and earthing
malfunction protection. The maximum interrupting is 150KA.
Transparent shield over Line side parts - that means safety & visible

Catalogue Numbering System Generic v Discrete


Generic catalogue # describes all the features of busway (e.g. copper, ampere rating,
IP rating, 3/4 poles etc except length. Hence it is not for describing individual pieces
of busway but rather for quotation/contract/invoicing purposes. The unit is 1 piece (for
fittings) or 1 feet (straights)
Discrete catalogue # describes all the features of busway including length of the
individual pieces. With the discrete catalogue number itself, it tells the detailed length
of busway and is sufficient enough for production purposes. We also call this as BOM
(Bill of Materials)

Required Clearances for Plug-in Mounting (Check these dimensions carefully before installing busway lengths)

Vertical mounting - Fusible Units


Fusible switch plug-in units (30-100A) mounts on either
side of the vertical busbar trunking. The operating
handle is on the top, and when mounted on the opposite
side, the handle is on the bottom.
The 400A-1600A fusible units mount only on the front of
the busbar trunking. The handle is on the cover.

IMPORTANT: orientation of the busbar trunking is essential for


proper mounting of plug-in units. The busbar trunking must be
positioned as shown above so that the top marking is to the
right and the neutral position to the left.

Circuit Breaker Units:

Circuit breaker plug-in units may be installed on both sides of a


riser.

6 - Checking the rating and choice of circuit breaker with respect to short-circuit withstand current
Short-circuit current withstand is shown in page(82-83).
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.


7 - Protecting against busbar trunking overloads.

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/K2 where K2 = 1.
Protection using gG (gI) 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 x k1 = Iz.
If this condition is not met, choose the busbar trunking with the next rating up.
Note: using gI fuses for protection means reducing the busbar trunkings allowable
current.

K9CE31000

Schneider Eletric

87

Design guide

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 Ir of the circuit breaker such that:
Iz = Ib x k1 Ir Inc

Harmonic currents

Design guide

I-LINE II
Origin of harmonic currents

Harmonic currents are 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 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.

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


distortion)

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 level of H3:
ih3 (%) = 100 x 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(%)).

Measurements and metering


Transparent Ready units

I-LINE II

DD205669

The Transparent Ready concept

Transparent Ready is a simple solution to access information (status,


measurements, etc.) available from your electrical distribution equipment
(transformers, switchboards, busbar trunking).
This information can be accessed from any PC connected to your Ethernet network
via a simple Web browser (e.g. Internet Explorer). No other software is required.

Design guide

DD205668

Transparent Ready can make your company more competitive by:


reducing operating costs
optimising equipment performance
improving the reliability of the electrical power supply.

Customer needs for measurements and


metering

In all non-residential buildings, the need for sub-metering exists and is growing
underthe combined effects of:
national and supra-national energy regulations,
the need to reduce overheads and production costs,
the allocation of energy expenditures to cost centres,
the outsourcing of operations tasks to specialists.
Operators must therefore have access to reliable pre-processed information in
order to:
identify areas for potential savings,
model building energy flows and anticipate evolving needs,
optimise energy supply and consumption.

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.

Edgewise horizontal installation

The maximum recommended distance between supports is 3 metres.

Expansion only poses a problem when:


the runs are made up of long straight sections without elbows and the two end
are fixed.
when the busbar trunking passes through an expansion joint between two
buildings.
No expansion joint is needed in rising mains once the spring hangers are
installed.
Electrical busbar trunking can be subjected to a multitude of load variations during
its service life (e.g. day / night, summer / winter) which cause temperature rise
differences and thus variable expansions.
To absorb expansion in a I-LINE II busbar trunking, a specific section must be
used: the expansion joint.

Expansion joint

Horizontal runs

If the busbar trunking length is greater than 30 metres, provide for expansion joints
and appropriate blocking means. The ends and, in some cases, the centre of part
runs must be blocked in order to direct the extensions towards the expansion
joints.

In this application, I-LINE II retains all its construction principles:

Installing a rising main


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.

Positioning the joint

It is important the joint block is not positioned in the floor slab or in spring hanger.
We recommend you provide for a distance of:
700 mm between the floor and the joint block axis to be able to install the spring
hanger (considering 100mm curb).
300 mm between the upper joint block and the ceiling to allow the busbar
trunking to be boxed-in.

I-LINE II
This document contains practical information, lays out the general
recommendations (as a complement to the installation regulations) and specifies
the basic instructions that must be respected when handling and storing Schneider
Electric I-LINE II busbar trunking system.
The purchasers engineering, installation and operating staff must become
acquainted with this document and become familiar with the appearance and
characteristics of each of the I-LINE II busbar trunking systems components.
Appropriate planning and coordination between the different job functions is
indispensable for ensuring an efficient installation of the equipment.
Each I-LINE II busbar trunking system is carefully inspected and packaged at the
assembly plant.
The entire system is checked both structurally and electrically.
At the end of inspection, the busbar trunking system is prepared for shipping.
Each section is packed to guarantee easy handling before its installation.
The catalogue number is written on each shipping unit.
Warning
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, BURNS OR EXPLOSION
Protect the equipment against all contact with water, salt, concrete and other
corrosive surroundings both before and during installation.
Outdoor equipment is not resistant to bad weather until after it has been fully and
correctly installed.
Do not sit or walk on the equipment.
If these instructions are not respected, the equipment may deteriorate leading to a
risk of serious or mortal injury.

Installation guide

Upon reception, check the various units of the busbar trunking system immediately
to identify any damage that has occurred during transport.
If there is observed or suspected damage, file a claim immediately with the carrier
and inform the nearest Schneider Electric office.

Handling

Handle I-LINE II products with the greatest of care to avoid damaging the internal
components of the system and to avoid changing the external appearance of the
various parts, as well as the bar ends (connection terminals).
The busbar trunking must be constantly supported by independent means, in
such a way its weight is not resting on the top of the transformers or distribution
switchboards.
The distance between these support means must not exceed 3 metres.
Avoid exposing the busbar trunking to twisting, embossing or impacts, and all other
actions likely to causing damage.
Ensure the handling equipment available at the site of installation is suitable for
handling busbar trunking. In particular, check the lifting capacity of the crane or the
other lifting equipment to be used.

Installation guide

Reception, handling and storage

I-LINE II
Take great care when unpacking the equipment:
use a nail-head puller when unpacking wooden crates,
if hauling the busbar trunking with a crane, use Nylon slings to spread the weight
of the unit being lifted,
if using cables, insert a spacing means to avoid damaging the busbar trunking,
if using a forklift truck, position the busbar trunking on the forks in such a way the
weight is evenly distributed.
1 - Cut the strapping holding the packaging case using suitable cutting tools.
2 - Use suitable tools to remove the strengthened steel packaging at each end of
the busbar trunking.
Take care not to damage the steel box so as not to damage the busbar trunking.
Avoid the use of objects with sharp edges when lifting the busbar trunking.
3 - Dispose of all used packaging in an appropriate way.
Never drag the busbar trunking along the floor. Do not use the end bars to lift
sections of the busbar trunking.

Protection against humidity during


storage

If the busbar trunking is not installed and commissioned immediately, leave it in


the original I-LINE II packaging and store it in a clean and dry place at a uniform
temperature.
The busbar trunking must not be stored outside. However, if outside storage
is necessary, cover the busbar trunking in such a way as to protect it from bad
weather and to avoid contact with the elements.
Temporary electrical heating must be provided for underneath the covering means
to prevent condensation.
The supplied heat must be of suitable temperature and uniformly distributed
underneath the covering means.

Installation guide

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 of nominal voltage (IEC 60 439-1)
allowed.
In all cases, the insulation resistance must not be less than 0.5 M for each link
(operating device).
Note: I-LINE II busbar trunking is given for U = 1000 V and Ri = 1 M (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

the energised operating tests performed with the appropriate protective
equipment

Commissioning and energised


equipment operating tests

NOTE: commissioning can only be carried out by personnel with appropriate


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 trunkings 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.

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.

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.

Straight lengths

I-line II busbar trunking has been designed for minimum maintenance.


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:

Installation guide

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
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.

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. Silverplated 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 Canalis tap-off units, the manufacturers 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 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

Example:
1 kg of PVC generates 1 kg of waste.

K9CE52000

The depletion of raw materials (copper, plastics, etc.) is one of our ongoing
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).
