GENERAL DATA

TECHNICAL FEATURES
Test to verify the no propagation of flame according to the IEC 60332 norm.
This tests certifies that, when the IMPACT bus-bar trunking system is subjected to a direct flame, the flame
itself does not propagate to a longer distance than 2,5 m.
The IMPACT busbar trunking system is designed for power transport and distribution and is especially suitable in the electrical
switch room both as a transformer-switchboard or switchboard-switchboard connection and as the main power distribution
system for industrial, residential, commercial and service industry.
The IMPACT busbar trunking system is offered in current ratings from 400A to 5000A with copper conductors.
The casing is made from an aluminium alloy extruded profile that gives to the product light weight high mechanical strength.
The standard product is offered in the 3P+N+Pe with the neutral and the phase being of the same cross-sectional area and
the earth (Pe-casing) cross-section more than 100% of the phase cross-section.
Phase and neutral conductors are made by one or two bars depending on the rated current in the two bars version, the bars
are opportunely connected at each junction.
Available are also the 3P+N+Fe/2+Pe version with a dedicated earth conductor with a cross-section equal to 50% of the phase
cross-section, the 3P+N+Fe+Pe version with a dedicated earth conductor with cross-section equal to 100% of the phase crosssection and the 3P+2N+Pe version with the neutral conductor equal to 200% of the phase cross section.
Copper conductors can be galvanically tin-or silver-plated along their entire length. The IMPACT busbar trunking system is offered
in the standard version painted RAL 7037.
The IMPACT busbar trunking systems are made with sandwich technology (COMPACT); the conductor bars are compacted without
any space inside the casing and are fully insulated using a no hygroscopic halogen free polyester sheath (thermal class 150
C). This technology guarantees the products high performance in relation to voltage drop
values even in high current and long runs.
The standard protection degree is IP55 (IP66 for feeder busbar). For outdoor installations an extra protection (canopy) can
be used.
The electrical connection is achieved by a monoblock system with one or more bolts (depending of the busbar trunking rated
current) guaranteeing the electrical continuity between the units of the run. The self-breakable bolt is double headed; the first
head is used for the installation (breaking at 85 Nm torque moment) carried out without any
special tool, while the second head will be available for future maintenances and inspections. A visual signal (red tag) confirms
the correct torque on the monoblock.
The mechanical connection is achieved when the joint cover unit is completely installed, thus guaranteeing that the IP protection
degree is achieved. A mechanical interlock device prevents the installer from completing the mechanical connection until the
electrical connection is correctly completed.

Test to verify the flame-resistance with mechanical shock according to the IEC 60331
norm.
This test certifies that, when the IMPACT bus-bar trunking system (straigth elements and joints) is subjected
to both a direct flame and a provoked impact, it insures the continuity of the energy distribution for a
given period of time.
Test time: 45 minutes 120 minutes 180 minutes
Certified time:
45 minutes (standard trunking system);
120 minutes (specially insulated trunking system);
180 minutes (specially insulated trunking system).

PRODUCTION
Production plants with automatic machinelly in order to assurance quality and short delivery terms

The mapping of the electromagnetic field level according to the CEI

211-6 / 2001 norm.
The test verifies the emission of the electromagnetic field at variable distances from
the trunking at a specified nominal rating.

Vibrations test according to the IEC 60068 norm.

This test certifies that the IMPACT busbar trunking system subjected to vibrations of 0,7 g and to 2 g along
the three axis confirms its compliance with both the dielectric tests and the mechanical functioning tests.
Test value: 0,7 g / 2 g (acceleration)
