LV Busduct

LV Busduct

Low Voltage (LV) Busduct is a specialized electrical distribution system used to efficiently transmit electrical power at voltages up to 1kV. It consists of insulated busbars housed in a modular duct enclosure, designed for compactness, high current capacity, and ease of installation in commercial, industrial, and data center applications.

    Key features and specifications include:

  • Rated voltage: Up to 1kV AC with variations typically around 415V or 690V.
  • Rated current: Typical ranges from tens to several thousands of amperes, such as 2000A or more.
  • Construction: Busbars are usually copper or aluminum with high conductivity, insulated from each other and the enclosure.
  • Enclosure: Made from galvanized steel or aluminum, often with IP54 to IP66 ingress protection for indoor/outdoor use.
  • Short circuit withstand: Configured for high short-circuit currents (e.g., 50kA for 1 second or more).
  • Design: Modular, segmented, and adaptable with compact sandwich or air-insulated types for optimized space performance.
  • Benefits: Reduced voltage drop, low reactance, improved thermal performance, enhanced safety due to segmented phases, and easier maintenance.
  • Standards: Manufactured per IEC 61439-6, ANSI C37.23 (for the US), or equivalent standards.

  • LV Busduct systems replace traditional cabling for high current distribution, offering flexibility, scalability, reduced installation time, and higher reliability in power distribution networks.
