B60 <strong>Busway</strong> Series<br />
B60 Plug-in <strong>Busway</strong> Series<br />
∂ Solid Copper Conductors<br />
Copper rather than aluminum<br />
is standard since copper is<br />
universally acknowledged as<br />
the best choice. 60 amps,<br />
300 and 600 volt ratings —<br />
2, 3 or 4 pole, 10,000 amp<br />
short circuit rating.<br />
∑ Continuous Mounting<br />
Channel<br />
Continuous mounting channel<br />
does not require exact spacing<br />
of supports. Hanger spacing<br />
up to 10 feet apart.<br />
∏Continuous Insulator<br />
The busway insulator is<br />
continuous and complies with<br />
the UL “Finger Safe Probe”<br />
standard. Other busbar<br />
systems place an insulator<br />
spacer at 12 to 18 inch<br />
intervals only. The B60<br />
<strong>Busway</strong> insulator and copper<br />
can also be supplied and<br />
inserted into the busway run<br />
in one piece.<br />
π Continuous Access Slot<br />
The continuous access slot<br />
allows the plug-in units to be<br />
attached to the busway at any<br />
location. They can be as close<br />
together or as far apart as<br />
desired.<br />
∫ Extruded Aluminum Housing<br />
Housing design combines<br />
strength, lightweight and clean<br />
appearance. The lightweight<br />
housing, about half the weight<br />
of steel-enclosed busway,<br />
makes 20 feet sections not<br />
only possible but practical. The<br />
aluminum enclosure is superior<br />
for 400 Hertz systems.<br />
❻ Ground Conductor<br />
The extruded aluminum<br />
housing is 100% capacity<br />
ground. There is no need to<br />
purchase and install special<br />
ground kits for the plug-in<br />
units. This is standard<br />
equipment, not an extra.<br />
❼ Plug-in Units<br />
Many types of plug-in units<br />
are available. These include<br />
the outlet box, fused,<br />
receptacle, terminal block,<br />
and circuit breaker plugs.<br />
They can be installed at any<br />
location along the busway run<br />
by simply inserting the plug<br />
head and rotating 90 degrees.<br />
➑Polarizing Lip<br />
The aluminum housing has a<br />
polarizing lip on one side of<br />
the access slot. This prevents<br />
“backwards” installation of<br />
plug-in units. All busway<br />
sections are installed with<br />
the polarizing lip on the<br />
same side.<br />
