Siemens A&D: New system for power distribution in aggressive environments

For the Sivacon 8PS busbar trunking system, Siemens Automation and Drives (A&D) is replacing the previous polyester-based PEC system with the new LR system featuring an enclosure made of epoxy cast-resin.

This busbar trunking system has significantly higher elasticity, and transmits power for rated currents of 630 A to 6300 A. It is designed for use outdoors and in aggressive environments with high atmospheric humidity and salinity levels. The close proximity of the conductors to each other and their arrangement result in a minimum voltage dip along lengthy power transmission paths. Type-tested connection of the LR and LX systems is possible using a transition element, turning Sivacon 8PS into an integrated busbar trunking system for outdoor and indoor applications
