 SIMPLICITY OF DESIGN
The concept of a Busbar trunking
system gives a simplification of
the design process.

Traditionally, the design layout

for cable is more complicated: for
example, the rating is influenced
by the type of grouping, which
can alter the efficiency of the
thermal dissipation, while the
reactance is influenced by the
position of the cables in respect
to each other.

A Busbar trunking system does

not require all these considerations
to be taken into account as it
comprises prefabricated
components, whose performance
is tested and stated by
the manufacturer.
The performance of the Busbar is
not influenced by the types of
fixings and layout which can
affect the rating, the electrical
characteristics and the short
circuit withstand of the cables.

FIRE RESISTANCE
In installations where there
is a high risk of fire (high
number of people or presence
of large quantities of
combustible material and/or
expensive equipment), the
SCP Busbar trunking system
solution gives technical and
economical advantages.
Because of the very low fire
load of the Busbar compared
to cables of equivalent rating,
the safety of the building is
much improved.
SCP has been fire resistance
tested in accordance with
the DIN4102-09 standard.

HIGH PERFORMANCE IN NARROW SPACES
Each conductor bar of the SCP range is
insulated by a double polyester sheet
(thickness 0,20mm) and assembled in a
sandwich configuration inside the steel
casing. Thus creating a compact Busbar
trunking system.

Therefore the SCP range can be

installed even in places where
cables cannot be installed because
of lack of space.
SCP
This is evident when changing direction,
especially 90. When considering an
angle with a cable solution, it is easy
to see that the space required is larger
than the one required for a busbar
solution. The bundling and the size of
the cables prevent the cables from
making sharp turns, and they require
a greater radius to turn through 90.
With a busbar solution it is possible to
reduce the space required by the use
of standard horizontal or vertical
elbow elements.
