General Characteristics:
Busbar distribution system, provides an
extended range of elements used for the
electric transport; starting from the base
of a standard line with dimensions given
by the homebuilder, straight elements,
corners, double corners, unity compose
bars distribution system if connections/
terminals for transforms, distribution boxes
and so on.
To this, we must add possible special
elements made by specific request, essential
for the realisation of all the possible
installation layouts; in this way, there is the
possibility to ask for particular sizes able to
cover all the different distances.
The elements are mostly made by alloy of aluminium AW-6060
The Busbar Trunking System is available in versions up to 6 bars.
In each element, there is always at least one neutral phase, with the same section of the other
phases. The fifth/sixth bar, which is an optional item installed only at customer’s request,
can be produced: or with a section equal to 50%, used as CE (Clean Earth) or with a 100%
cross-section for dedicated grounding or, as last variant, 2N double phase section (FE).
We could product these different configuration as follow:
3P+N+PE (4 conductors): Configuration Standard, 4 conductor. The protective conductor is
made from the aluminium casing with section equal or greater than 100% of the phase
conductor.
3P+N+FE+PE (5 conductors): With this configuration, the protective conductor is made
from a dedicated bar inside the duct, with the same section and material than the phase
conductor.
3P+2N+PE (5 conductors): With this configuration, the neutral conductor has double section
respect to the phase conductor. The protective conductor is made from aluminium case.
3P+N+50%FE+PE ( conductors): in this configuration, the protective conductor is made
from a dedicated bar inside the duct, with the 50% section than the phase conductor. This is
used as CE (isolated).
3P+2N+ E (6 conductors): in this configuration, the protective conductor is made
from a dedicated bar inside and the neutral conductor has double section respect to
the phase conductor.

The distribution elements are electrically and mechanically connected with a monoblock
system with one or more bolts according to the composition of the elements.
All these characteristics guarantee to the busbar trunking systems high electrical
performance:
- Reduction of magnetic fields
- Low voltage drop values even at high current
- Extremely low fire load
- High Mechanical resistance
- high resistance to weathering and aggressive environments
- Quick installation

3 TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS
3.1 Busbars housing
The busbar Trunking system case is made by
profiles of extruded aluminium 99, 85% alloy
AW 6060-T5 that gives to the product good
mechanic resistance and reduce its weight.
Planks distribution compartment, is
completely closed and without ventilation in
order to protect and prevent from internal
mechanical damages, derived from stockpiles
of dust and from the intrusion of external
elements (dust, sand and so on).
These elements are also protected from corrosion and external agents with
protection level IP55 for installation in inner spaces and waterproof, and with protection
level IP6 for installation in external spaces.
DKC distribution channels follow security standards about pollution degree, in particular:
Pollution Degree 3: Conductive pollution or dry non conductive pollution that becomes conductive due
to condensation occurs. To be found in industrial environment or construction sites (harsh
environments).
External casings are painted with dust technology, finished with Powder
Coating 80-100 micro, in standard colour RAL 7035, variable under customer’s request.
3.2 Conduction bars
Internal metal bar (the conductive elements of the system):
- made by aluminum alloy AW-6060 (Al-Mg-
Si).
- electrical conductivity up to 61%
- good mechanical and physical characteristics
Internal metal bar (the conductive elements of
the system):
alvanic process of copper (Cu) and tin (Sn)
to improves the conductivity of the material
and to prevent oxidation and deterioration
due to contact with the copper parts.
In addition to the tinning process, you can
request both versions (Copper and Aluminum)
to have galvanically silvered bars.

3.3 Insulation
Internal conductor Bars and divided and
isolated thanks to a film of isolating,
polymeric material: Dyterm. Isolating made
by the combination of sheets of polyester and
Nomex (Dupont). Nomex layers firmly adapt
to plastic films, thanks to a special adhesive.
In rotating machines, DyTerm is used in slot
closure and insulation, as well to separate
phases on the heads of the windings. In
transformers and electrical static equipments,
DyTerm is used as interlay material.
Dyterm is the most advanced insulation material. Is RoHS Certified and derived from a
polyamide film with a layer of Nomex by Dupont USA
Every single bar is covered by a foil thick 0,18 mm, with tensile strength 180 N/cm and 12kV
breakdown voltage
The presence of the film raises the mechanic, physic and dielectric properties of the product,
certified with ISO 9001, ISO 14001, Rohs 2011/65/UE and UL – file No. E209645.
Film has a total thermal insulation:
- used until 155° C (Class F - Type N2S).
- available until 180° C (Class H Type N1D, N2D, N3D, N3S)

On linear elements, Dyterm is installed by an automate process and centrally closed on the
Bars through ultrasonic welding.
1. Central incision of the plank to increase
the contact of the film
2. Cut to length
3. Folding and central tacking
4. Second passage for ultrasound welding
NOMEX came from Aerospace Industry. Is
a Unique, Robust, durable and lightweight
flame barrier that can help prevent outside
fire from penetrating an aircraft cabin,
allowing passengers additional time to
escape such an hazard
Computer aided manufacture process in
insulation of material to conductors for
consistency in quality.
3.4 monoblock
The busbar elements are united by a monobloc balance with incorporated thermal growth,
moulded, coloured and lateral slabs, bolts and special, prefabricated nuts that guarantee a
correct installation.
The right joint is necessary to guarantee electric continuity between operation units; this
process is guarantee from a special double-headed nut.
The first one is used for the installation made without any special utensil. If it broke, it can
be removed when the correct installation will be reached, while the second will be available
for future maintenances and/or inspections
The nut of conjunctions elements is a special, prefabricated nut with maximum resistance
to 65N/m and tolerance +5.
BUSBAR Specification
7/9
Monobloc system is made by moulded, lateral slabs to create mechanical locking so as to
avoid that elements will be assembled in the wrong direction, to avoid dangerous inversions.
The metallic parts of the joined bloc are treated according to the standards:
ENISO 10683
EN13858 e/o ASTM F1136
PATENTED
With the purpose to prevent corrosion and so
eventual malfunctioning.
The insulant material of the joined block is
an unsaturated resin of polyester, without
halogens, fireproof, completaly self-
extinguishing and strengthened with glass
fibre
BMC (BULK MOULDING COMPOUNDS) RF
9/20 in compliance with UNI CEI 11170-3.
The lateral slabs have the same colour and complementary symbol of the final parts of the
linear element (figure below), to guarantee a visual control and avoid any possible mistake
during the installation.

4 Plug-in
4.1 Tap-Off Boxes
The Boxes are in painted sheet metal for the Powertech series. These junction boxes are
mainly connected as follows:
the distribution elements with tap-off facilities and can
be connected and disconnected while the system is
energised
Rated Continous Current from 63A to 630A
Fixed Tap-Off units that can only be installed on the
junction between two elements and can be connected and
disconnected while the system is de-energised
All the boxes have a security locking that assures and
releases the unity of fundamental system. The boxes
find contact with planks, through special terminal
contacts, insulated with the external from a little,
sliding window made of plastic material. Once that
the derivation unit is joined to the distribution bars,
pressing the handle inside the box, this is blocked and
guaranteed to the distribution.
The Tap-Off units are available in the following
variations:
- Empty (to be equipped as desired by the customer)
- With disconnected devices
- With Fuse holder
- With switch disconnected and fuse holder
- pre fitted for all major brands of MCCB
- fitted WITH all major brands of MCCB
