Flexible Busbar Tie Distance 2

The document provides guidelines for fastening insulated flexible bars in electrical switchboards. It specifies that the bars should be firmly fastened to insulating supports no more than 400mm apart. Appropriate ties must be used and should not be too thin or damaged by short circuits. Maximum distances between supports are provided for different busbar cross-sections and short-circuit currents.

Power connections Insulated Flexible Bars

Fastening insulated flexible bars


Standards Good practice

1 After the connection, fasten the flexible


bars firmly on insulating supports, which
are themselves fastened every 400 mm
at most on the enclosure frame.

It is prohibited to fasten flexible bars


on metal supports.

2 Use the appropriate ties to fasten the


flexible bars. They must:
- be at least 9 mm long,
- be able to bear an 80-kilo load.
Do not use ties that are too thin or
mechanically not very resistant, which
could be damaged in case of short-circuit.

3 Do not fasten the flexible bars on sharp


edges in order not to damage the insulator.

4 Maximum distance between rigid bar


supports and ties insulated flexible bars.
The recommended distances
between the ties must be absolutely
complied with. This distance
depends on the presumed short-
circuit current of the switchboard.
The different tables below give the
maximum distances to be kept between
supports depending on the following:
- offerings,
- electrodynamic performance,
- cross-sections of the copper
busbars used.
Note: these figures are intended to help
designers of configurations that are not
described or included in the catalogues.
