Himel Busbar Safer Power Distribution
Busbar vs. Cable, what is the long-term solution for safer power distribution
It was the year 1822, when the first mechanical computer was invented, nowhere close to the sophisticated machines we use today. About 100 years later, the first digital computer came into being—the most conspicuous example of human ambition to get things compact, neat and organized.
With sophistication in machinery and collateral increase in power consumption, the volume of wiring cables has increased. Wire management is not only required for neat appearance but also for safety and efficiency in maintenance. Multiple cables or stripping wires or cables to join them, increases the heat dissipation through the joints and enhances chances of frequent short circuit faults.
This is the issue that busbars address. Busbars are solid structured bars or strips, generally made of aluminum or copper, used as a junction between incoming and outgoing power feeders. They receive power and transfer it to the outgoing terminals of the distribution systems. They provide the fundamental alteration flexibility in the electrical connections, without which equipment sophistication is impossible.
Efficient cable organization and safer maintenance with Himel Busbar
The busbar from Himel find easy installations in switchgear, panel boards and busway enclosures, etc for local high current power distribution. The design of a busbar is in general more reliable and compact and restriction of electrical flow through the bunch of cables is negated in this case. Cost of the busbar systems compared to the traditional power distribution systems is extremely low. Need to lay more cables enhances the cost components and further the mounting and laying procedures adds to the complexity and woes.
Himel Busbar HBBT
HBBT is suitable for all Himel MCB, RCBO, RCCBs, Modular Contactor, Surge Protection Devices etc. Being suitable for high-voltage connections in demanding applications, Himel busbars can be key component of the electrical architectures of modern projects.
Multi-connect options
HBBT comes with two connection options, PIN type and U type. These further have two PIN thickness options, 1.2mm and 1.5mm
Cost-efficient
It is generally believed that laying of cables is a cheaper option but with Busbar it is time-efficient with easier installation leading to optimum cost. Additionally, busbars facilitate neat appearance.
Safer DIN rail mounting
Himel Busbars are a DIN rail switchgear system which ensure unmatchable efficiency and complete safety in installations.
More scalable
With Himel Busbar HBBT, retrofitting becomes easier option and one can enhance the rating of the switchgears with ease. Cables if installed would take longer time and a huge workforce to replace them.
Varied Applications
Himel Busbars have varied applications in the low voltage and final distribution and protection by MCB, RCDs, surge arrestors (against the overvoltage of atmospheric origin) and by other devices in industrial and commercial setups.
Safer distribution
Himel Busbars come with interlocking fixing arrangements which connect better with the distribution system of the electrical panels—leading to safer usage. The voltage loss is comparably lower than with the use of cables.
Range of protections
The Himel Busbar HBBT offers protection of motor circuits, DC circuits and control of power, control circuits by contactors and impulse relays.
Conformance to International Standards
It conforms to the international standards IEC 60664-1 for insulation coordination for equipment within low-voltage systems.
