Add-On Feature (Optional)
Busbar Trunking System - Remote Conditional Monitoring

For an electrical system, one of the typical concerns is its electrical connection and abnormal heating may
occur at the location of loose or improper connection due to an increase in the electrical resistance. The
overheating further increases the electrical resistance and can lead to a burnout or even a fire. The burning
out of an electrical system is a threat to plant safety and can lead to an unplanned shutdown of plant
operations. To eliminate such risks and avoid the huge costs of lost production, it is vital to quickly detect
and immediately respond to any indication of overheating in a power system (a.k.a Predictive Monitoring
System).

Ways to Protect Busbar Trunking Systems

Continuously monitor busbar health, run time, and detect unexpected busbar failures such as early bearing
failure, unbalance, misalignment, etc.

Your Challanges

Bad Torque
In order to prevent overheating at any of the
electrical connections, the connections should be
inspected on a regular basis. However, there are a
few obstacles:

Low Pressure Inside The JP • Visual inspection: Might not be feasible or

accurate because the connections are often
covered, and are often in difficult to access
locations.

• Thermal imaging cameras can be difficult

Contact Resistance Increase
due to complicated structure: In some
instances, electrical distribution connections
can follow complicated paths through plant
structures and buildings which may result in
blind spots that might not be readily imaged
using thermal imaging cameras.
High Power High Temperature

• Thermocouple thermometers are not

suitable due to electromagnetic noise: As
electrical systems are surrounded by strong
electric fields, conventional electric sensors
Damage Insulation such as thermocouple thermometers are not
suitable for this purpose.

Plug-in Straight Length

The plug-in busbar has a flexible design with optional plug outlets on both sides. A maximum of 5 outlets can be fixed on each

side of 3m standard length. The customer may reserve plug outlets for extension in the future when changes occur in terms of

the equipment load or busbar run. Both base plate and socket cover are set for each plug outlet. Base plate helps to prevent

fingers from contacting live conductors (IP2X) by accident, on which the phase sequences of conductors are identified. Socket

cover prevents the conductive contacting surface from being contaminated. A pad may be used to keep off dust or moisture.

Standard length is 3000mm or 4000mm. The minimum length is 720mm. The minimum length of L1 (distance from the center of

plug outlet to standard end) is 360mm. The minimum length of L2 (distance between the centers of two adjacent plug outlets) is

570mm.
