Busbar Systems are sophisticated and modern energy transmission and distribution systems with modular structure, used to replace of cabling.

Busbar System could also be referred to as busbar duct system.

Busbar system could also be called a bar duct in short.

It enables the supply of power to any machinery, equipment or electrical board by a branch (connection) from the busbar system.

Advantages of a busbar system could be listed as Premium physical and modular structure, lowest possible voltage drop, high performance, short circuit resistance, high grade of fire resistance, feature regarding non emission of toxic gases (halogen free) as well as non flammable, ease in design, proper solution generation, modern outlook, minimum size, reduced dimensions of the main board, physical endurance, ease of maintenance and installation, low installation cost and cost efficiency.

In horizontal runs of the busbar systems, suspension can be provided every 1.5 meters. Whereas in the case of vertical distribution installations, the system can be affixed to the floor slab on each storey.

Related topic is described in detail in the application sections of the technical catalogues.

The mainframe (body) of any busbar which is duly tested, certified and manufactured according to IEC and TS-EN standards could be used as an earth conductor (protection circuit).

Busbar conductors (aluminium-copper) should strictly be tin-plated.

Epoxy coating is an insulation material used on the KX series busbar systems manufactured by EAE, which is highly durable, incorporating premium features in respect of insulation, fire resistance and overheating.

On Busbar systems, two different conductors are being used namely aluminium and copper. Aluminium is preferred due to being lighter and more cost-efficient.

This is a flexible module used in lines of length in excess of 40 metres or at block passages of large-sized building structures, which takes responsibility of busbar line expansion, extension as well as shrinkage characteristics.

This is a module which is made as a combination of two turning modules, enabling the changing of the installation height or position of the busbar system.

Provided the colour code is notified in advance prior to the manufacturing process, the busbar system can be supplied with a painted finish. Painting on site after production is not advisable.

Cable ducts are made to fix and support the laying of insulated cables for power distribution and data communication in and around building structures. They comprise modular lengths which are joined together on site to support the cables.

Has the same meaning with as cable duct.

Details and particulars with respect to the storage of cable ducts are provided in our technical manual. They should be stored in a well ventilated environment, protected against water and humidity.

This is a duct type where resistance (strength) is enhanced through pre-forming (inflection) of each and every opening on the duct.

Yes, a stronger construction is obtained when using thinner steel plated on pre-formed ducts.

In premises where lighting fixtures are placed in rows, these are the busbar systems used for distributing the lighting power to those fixtures. Outlets are provided through simple sockets and the power is supplied to the fixtures using tap-off plugs.

This is the busbar system for distributing power to the desks and equipment in modern office spaces where a raised floor feature is installed.

These duct systems are installed in Office spaces where the power distribution is made through screed concrete, placed within the screed concrete and enabling power distribution to the desks and such other office equipment.

For those users utilizing screed installation ducts, under-floor busbars and piping equipment providing mains supply, UPS energy outlet, or telephone-data and such similar connection outlets.

Has the same meaning as under-floor duct system.

This is an installation item used under a raised floor or screed concrete system enabling connection or providing outlets.

This is an interior space installation item designed to provide power and data requirements to the desks and other such equipment in office units.

Trolley busbar supplies power to moving machinery systems like a mobile crane or machines moving on a line, ensuring power connection from a moving power supply trolley collecting power along a fixed busbar system.

Has the same meaning as a trolley busbar.

Upon transferring our expertise to the products and solutions for our customers, we ensure that the best possible solutions are generated. Services like designing, technical support, electrical calculations, mechanical calculations, simulation works and such are provided by EAE.

Solutions are generated to meet the varying demands and requirements of our customers. To ensure the most economical cost, our products are delivered on board to the customer's own vehicle from the factory. Transportation organization can also be provided by EAE depending on the project and specific requirements of the customer.

Project design and technical support services in respect of the products and solutions are being provided. Technical support is also provided to those companies involved with the implementation of installation services.

Yes, we provide Project design services as free of charge.

Supervisory services are only being provided for such activities as itinerary determination of busbar systems, project control, on-site measurements, keeping of the survey book, prescribing the assembly particulars, installation training, intermediate busbar measurement and fixing, Megger insulation test and final control.

As the main components of any busbar system is comprised of metals like copper, aluminium and steel plate, busbar costs and prices vary according to the current market prices of such raw materials. Therefore, there is no applicable price list. The total cost is quoted in accordance with the project scope.

You are welcome to learn the current prices from our headquarters, regional sales offices or from our dealers.

Busbar systems which are duly tested, certified and manufactured according to IEC 60331-1 and BS 6387 standards incorporate specifications such as flame retardation,inflammable as well as non emission of any toxic gases in case of fire (halogen free). The KX series premium design compact busbar systems are capable of sustaining their functions for 3 hours in case of fire which generates heat around a temperature level of 830 degrees .

It is done by using a Megger insulation test instrument. Before busbar systems are put into use, they should strictly pass the insulation tests and the relevant commissioning procedures should be implemented.

This is an international criteria expressing that function integrity is ensured in case of fire. Its basic objective is to ensure that functional sustenance of vital systems in human life such a lighting, elevator and announcement systems are maintained in case of any fire. Considering that the cabling in respect of the aforesaid systems are made through and over cable carrying systems, it is seen more clearly how essential it is that the latter systems enable functional sustenance. The test therefore is carried out inside a special test oven that can be heated up in accordance with a Standard temperature time curve. Depending on maintaining and sustaining the functionality of cabling systems, E30-E90 grades are prescribed and these are mandatory for use at low voltage facilities not exceeding 1kV as standard.

Any cable duct passing the E30-E90 test and properly assembled is fire resistant.
