BENEFITS OF BUSWAY OF TRADITIONAL CABLE INSTALLATIONS

All end-users and specifiers will obtain the following benefits over traditional Cable and tray installations using Vass H-Series Electrobar Busway Systems:

• Flexibility
  Plant and facility requirements are always on the change! The position of the plant that was the best position today will be in the wrong position tomorrow. Additional items of equipment which were not thought of yesterday are a necessity today, and what's more it requires to be up and running now!!!………H-series Electrobar Busway can be easily extended, modified and relocated as your needs dictate. With the flexibility and range of the associated Take Off Boxes the flexibility of sub circuits is unlimited.

  Vass Electrical Industries is able to design and manufacture highly specialised Electrobar Busway Sections to the achieve maximum flexibility in system design and installation routing in the most complicated and space restrictive applications. Please refer to pictures on the right for some examples.
  

• Multi-Service Application
  - Consumers Main: from electricity provider's transformers/sub-station to main switchboard.
  - Sub-Main Feeder: supply power to sub-boards and motor control centres.
  - Multiple Circuits: For applications that require numerous sub-circuits over a distributed area such as production/factory areas.
  - Multi-Level: Riser: Vertical multi story building distribution.

• Type Tested Proven Products
  - Vass H-Series Busway have undergone exhaustive Type Tests according to AS3439-2 and IEC439-2.
  - Consequently the independently checked electrical and mechanical characteristics of our Vass Electrobar Busway System are not installation specific and can be relied upon for your system design. Whereas cable and tray installations suffer installation specific variations, effecting the integrity of your system design.

• Electrical Superiority
  - The sandwich style construction of our Busway System yields superior electrical characteristics.
  - Voltage Drop is significantly better. Consequently a more efficient use of energy.
  - Reduced variation of impedance and therefore volt drop across the phases
  - Higher Short-Circuit Ratings
  - Lower Electro Magnetic Field generation

• Lighter Weight
  - For a given current, H-Series Electrobar Busways are a fraction of the weights of cable and tray installations.

• Smaller Size
  The compact design of the H-Series Electrobar Busway System and the ability to produce tight right angle elbows and bends, means our Busway Systems exhibit major advantages over cables where large floor spaces are required and particular attention must be given to large cable radii.

  The smaller size means Busway will make it easier to install in tight spaces and will allow additional room to be devoted to other services or greater lettable/usable area.

• Faster Installation and Lower Cost
  - Whilst being technically superior, our Busway system can save you money and quicken your project completion.

  Busway eliminates the need to lay tray then to pull and arrange cable formation, tie down, strip, crimp terminate.

  The simple jointing system allows speedy installation and reduces errors in the process.

  Consequently the total installed cost (materials and installation times) is usually significantly better than cable and tray installed costs.
