BUSWAY SYSTEMS
Applications – 200% Neutral Option
Power system harmonics are created
by numerous types of non-linear loads
which are often very high in harmonic
content. The harmonics generated create
problems in electrical systems and
equipment. The presence of nonlinear
loads can result in overheated neutrals
and lead to deterioration of equipment
performance and a reduced equipment
life cycle. In order to prevent such problems
from occurring, the Computer and
Business Equipment Manufacturers
Association (CBEMA) recommends
that the neutral be oversized to at
least 173% of the ampacity of the
phase conductors to prevent problems.
Sentron Busway offers two fully rated
bus bars, therefore providing twice the
current carrying surface as the phase
bars. Each neutral bar is plated with the
same tin plating and insulated with the
same electrostatically applied epoxy
insulation as the phase bars. This 200%
neutral capacity helps prevent overheating
caused by non-linear loads.
Isolated Ground
Sentron Busway is available with an
optional isolated ground. This isolated
ground provides a clean ground path for
high frequency signals coming through
the ground. This option is very useful in
applications where there are computers
or diagnostic equipment. The isolated
ground option is often used in hospitals
and higher technology industry applications.
Services – Power II Fit Final
Connection Program
A “Final Connection” section is a length
of busway inserted into a run of busway
after the major portion of the busway
run has been installed. This allows the
release of the majority of the busway
run long before the final dimensions are
known.
Final Connection pieces must be
identified at the time of the original
order release with approximate date
of Final Connection order. The Final
Connection order form should be
emailed to Busway Customer Service.
