Introduction
Complete safety ■ Busbar trunking temperature rise and short-circuit withstand are known and
independent of the installation. Coordination of the Schneider Electric system
results in complete control of the electrical network.

■ Installation standards IEC 60 364 chapter 5.523.6 stipulate that above 4 parallel
cables, it is preferable to use busbar trunking. Paralleling many cables leads to
uneven distribution of currents and the risk of abnormal temperature rise.

■ The busbar trunking and plug-in units are designed to guarantee the safety of
personnel and equipment:
□ Fully silver-plated cooper contact solution.
□ bolted connections with tightening torque guaranteed by torque nuts.
□ foolproof system to avoid the risk of assembly errors.

Its metal enclosure and high protection degree protect the busbar trunking from all
external aggressions (corrosion, rodents, etc).

Seismic Compliance The complete standard offer of I-Line and Canalis busway is certified for Zone 4
seismic conditions as witness and approved by mechanical and dynamic tests, at
EERTC (Earthquake Engineering Research & Test Centre) in China, as well as
electrical verification test performed by CEST under IECEE CB scheme.

For projects under seismic conditions, consult your local Schneider office to
provide you with more information in particular on hangers and supports.

Operating continuity When working on the electrical installation, the busbar trunking provides immediate
readability of the electrical circuit thus allowing the appropriate zone to be quickly
identified.
Plug-in units(<40A) can be plugged-in and out without the need for a shutdown;
service continuity is thus irreproachable.

The quality of the electrical contacts guarantees maintenance free operating

continuity.

A large range of plug-in units

All I-LINE plug-in units are compatible with I-LINE II busbar trunking system,
regardless whether they bear MCCB or fusible switch.

■ Plug-in unit with Merlin Gerlin’s MCCB, ampere rating from 15A to 1000A

■ Plug-in unit with Square D’s MCCB, ampere rating from 15A to 1600A

Compact Size, Sandwich Structure, totally enclosed housing

■ Universal Installation, no need to consider de-rating factor, regardless of the
Description

mounting position.
■ The accumulation of dirt on exposed bus bars and possibility of accidental
contact with bus bar are greatly reduced.
■ No “Chimney” effect
Continuous air spaces inside I-line busway housing are closed off with special
barriers to help prevent the spread of smoke and gases in the event of a fire in
the area of the busway installation. This standard internal barrier allows busway to
extend through wall or floors without creating open space for a “chimney effect” fire
path.
■ Improve system’s ventilation, satisfy higher ampere rating
■ Less space required for installation, investment saving

The I-LINE II busbar trunking is suitable for applications containing harmonics by

taking into account the appropriate derating factor. See “Harmonic currents” in the
Design guide.

Joint Pak
Joint-Pak is standard on I-LINE II system. It allows for quick removal of lengths
from the busbar trunking runs for load shifting or maintenance. It also can be
removed and relocated on the opposite end of the length for the last minutes job
changes
■ Single bolt connection makes installation faster
■ Belleville washer provides equal pressure across the complete joint contact area
to assure proper electrical contact
■ Double, Silver plated surface contact ensure a good current continuity.
■ Adjustable range: +/- 3mm

VIST-TITE Bolt
The double head design, introduced by Square D in 1967, allows the customer to
tighten the joint to the proper torque using a standard spanner. The outer head will
break off when the correct torque is achieved. A second bolt head remains to allow
for joint maintenance or busbar relocation. No need to purchase a replacement
bolt. For maintenance of the joint or when busway is relocated, the VISIT-TITE bolt
should be tightened to 70 lb-ft (95Nm) with a torque wrench

Housing
■ Aluminum structure with electro-galvanized side steel channel.
■ Paint: Epoxy electrostatic powder finish, better anti-corrosion.
■ Color: ANSI 49 gray, special color are optional upon customer’s request.

Product features of I-LINE II Plug-in Unit

Compatibility
All plug-in units are compatible with I-LINE II busbar trunking system, regardless
whether they bear MCCB or fusible switch.

Plug-in device mounting

Plug-in units are positioned along the busbar trunking length by notches in the
busbar trunking housing top which accept the mounting hooks of the plug-in unit.
This aligns the plug-in unit jaws with the plug-in opening. After the unit is positioned
on the busway, it is allowed to swing down into the plug-in opening where the plug-
in jaws make contact with the bus bars. This is accomplished in “hook-swing”.

Description
Plug-in Jaws
The plug-in jaws contact to the bus bars directly with the silver plated cooper
contact. The contact surface is fully silver plated to ensure a proper contact force
and low contact resistance.

Earthing
Earthing established at first and switched off at last as to protect worker against
electrical contact shock.
All plug-in devices incorporate an earthing spring which cuts through the paint and
forms an equipment earth between the housing and the body of the device before
the phase jaws make contact with the busbars.

Interlock
30 A to 250 A plug-in devices are interlocked with the busway housing to prevent
installation or removal of the unit when the disconnect is turned ON.
All devices incorporates an interlock to prevent the door over the disconnect
from being opened when the unit is ON. This door interlock can be defeated from
outside the unit.

Operating handle
The side operating handle in the PIU makes the heavy duty switch more
convenient and safer. When the PIU is installed in the high position, you can easily
operate the PIU on the group by the side handle.

Protection function
Schneider Plug-in unit equipped with Schneider original protection unit, which
can provide complete overload protection, short circuit protection and earthing
malfunction protection. The maximum interrupting is 150KA.

Voltage drop
Line-to-line voltage drop, in volts (V) per metres at 50 Hz with concentrated load. For
the case of loads distributed over the run, the voltage drops need times the load distribution factor (see
more details in page 86).
