Simplicity, upgradeability, safety and continuity of service and operation.
DD205658
Savings start with installation

With tap-off points every 3 metres, Canalis busbar trunking reduces installation
costs.
Given the low cost of adding new circuits, savings increase as the number of loads
increases, a natural consequence of the growth of your business.
PD202383
Upgradeable during operation

In decentralised distribution, evolving operating requirements and costs are
integrated right from the start.
b The addition, relocation or replacement of load equipment can be carried out
quickly, without de-energising the supply trunking or shutting down operation.
b The cost of making such changes is greatly reduced:
v loads are located close to supply points
v tap-off points are always available
v tap-units can be reused or new ones added quickly for load relocation or
replacement needs.
Reusable in the event of major changes

When making major modifications to your installation, the existing trunking can be
easily dismantled and reused.

Introduction

notes!
DD205675
Safety of life and property
With Canalis, no risk in case of fire
The busbar trunking has a low combustible load. Its construction uses very little
consumable material and is halogen free.
In the event of a fire, the busbar trunking does not emit any gas or toxic smoke.
An inherent fire barrier, the busbar trunking helps prevent the propagation of a
fire through partition walls and floors for a duration of 2 hours.
Halogen-sensitive applications
b Public buildings (infrastructures, hospitals, schools, etc.).
b Buildings with evacuation difficulties (high-rises, ships, etc.) and service-activity
buildings.
b Sensitive processes (production of electronic components, etc.).
Canalis contains no PVCs
Example:
Consequences of a fire in a 100 m2 office with
electrical distribution by cables.
200 kg of cables (i.e. 20 kg of PVC) produces:
b 4400 m3 of smoke
b 7.5 m3 of hydrochloric acid
b 3.7 kg of corroded steel.
Health
DD205674
Introduction
Canalis, in total harmony with the

environment!
When PVCs burn, they produce large amounts of smoke that can be a serious
safety hazard.
b Reduced visibility:
v risk of panic
v complicates rescue work
b Smoke toxicity:
v hydrogen chloride gas (highly toxic)
v carbon monoxide (danger of asphyxiation).
Canalis reduces the risk of exposure to electromagnetic fields

According to the WHO (World Health Organisation), exposure to electromagnetic
fields can be a health hazard starting at levels as low as 0.2 micro-Teslas and
could represent a long-term risk of cancer. Some countries have created standards
that stipulate limits (e.g. 0.2 T at 1 metre in Sweden).
All electrical conductors generate magnetic fields proportional to the distance
between them. The design of Canalis busbar trunking with tightly spaced
conductors in a metal enclosure helps to considerably reduce radiated
electromagnetic fields.
The electromagnetic field characteristics of Canalis busbar trunking are welldefined and measurements show that they are far below potentially dangerous
levels.
You will find the magnetic induction values of our products on the Characteristics
pages.
Schneider Electric
K9AF01030
DD205673
Environment
Canalis is fully recyclable
b Canalis busbar trunking can be reused.

Canalis busbar trunking is designed for a long service life and can easily be
dismantled, cleaned and reused.
b All packaging materials can be recycled (cardboard or recyclable polyethylene
film).
b All Canalis products are designed for safe end-of-life recycling. PVC, on the
other hand, requires neutralisation of the hydrochloric acid produced using lime
and generates dioxins that are extremely toxic.
Canalis helps conserve natural resources
Example:
1 kg of PVC generates 1 kg of waste.
Energy savings
The depletion of raw materials (copper, plastics, etc.) is one of our ongoing
concerns.
For this reason, we have optimised the used of all materials used to make our
busbar trunking.
b Reduction of dangerous or polluting materials. We design our products to meet
future European directives.
b Reduction in the weight of insulating materials.
b Reduction in the use of plastics for improved fire performance: less energy
released during combustion, thereby limiting propagation and facilitating extinction
(lower calorific value).
Canalis reduces your line losses by 40 %

Canalis divides your consumption of copper and insulation
by a factor of three
The cost of an electrical installation includes the initial investment for the
equipment and its installation, the cost of maintenance and the cost of energy
losses during operation.
The cross-sections of our products are dimensioned to minimise the total cost of
your installation over a 3-year period for medium intensity use (30 % load level,
5 days a week and 10 hours a day).

b The compact size of Canalis KT means it takes up very little space in the
building:
v used as a rising main, it takes up only a minimum of space,
v used for horizontal distribution, it fits easily into the buildings structure (false
floors, false ceilings, service shafts, etc).
A compact solution
b Changes in direction have been designed to optimise the space taken up,
contrary to an equivalent installation using cables which requires large bending
radii.
DD202860
b Tap-off units, complete with protective devices, are fitted along the entire length
of the busbar trunking thus reducing the floor area taken up by the electrical
distribution switchboards.
A simple and economical

system
b The design study is easy to perform as it does not require a detailed layout of
each load. Equipment choice is pre-determined and optimised.
b Installing the busbar trunking requires 2 or 3 people only, for a time equivalent
to that for installing cableways. The time normally needed for laying cables is
therefore saved.
b Connection to the MV / LV substation is made using a quick fitting joint block. The
tap-off units can be prepared in the workshop thus reducing on-site time. Their
connection to the busbar trunking is done in a single plugging-on operation.
b Installing busbar trunking lengths can be done as and when building work
progresses, thus optimising on-site work and allowing possible unexpected events
to be anticipated in advance.
b It is also important to note that busbar trunking is a factory tested solution,
meaning the time needed for inspecting connections is reduced (visual inspection
of tightening torque).
PD202385
Introduction
Canalis KT, a display of

Schneider Electric
K9AE02010
Complete safety
b 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.
b Installation standards UTE C 15-105 chapter B.6.2 and 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.
PD202386
b The busbar trunking and tap-off units are designed to guarantee the safety of
personnel and equipment:
v plug-on connections to silver-plated copper bars,
v bolted connections with tightening torque guaranteed by torque nuts,
v foolproof system to avoid the risk of assembly errors,
v IP55 certified splash and dust protection,
v sprinkler resistance test in compliance with Volkswagen specifications,
v access to live parts have IPxxD protection (1 mm wire diameter).
Its metal enclosure and high protection degree protect the busbar trunking from all
external aggressions (corrosion, rodents, etc).
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.
Tap-off units can be plugged-on and off without the need for a shutdown; service
continuity is thus irreproachable.
The quality of the electrical contacts guarantees maintenance free operating
continuity.
PD202229-68
A large range of tap-off units
Canalis KS tap-off units are fully compatible with Canalis KT:

b they cover all your requirements:
v Canalis KS tap-off units: 63 to 400 A,
v Canalis KT tap-off units: 400 to 1000 A,
b they offer circuit breaker or fuse protection.

system:
v they monitor your installation to avoid overloads, thus ensuring service continuity,
v they provide metering to allow accurate management of your electrical
distribution network (allocation of costs to each consumer).

Description
DD202435-m
3L + PE
3L + N + PE
DD202388
DD202436-m
The conductors are sandwiched together inside the metal

casing.
8 ratings are available, from 800 to 4000 A.

4 aluminium live conductors with identical cross-sections (3L + N + PE version).
Conductors insulated using polyester film, class B 130 C, halogen free.
Standard busbar trunking is IP55.
Insulation voltage: 1000 Volts.
Available polarities: 3L + PE, 3L + N +PE, 3L + N + PER (reinforced PE)
The KT busbar trunking is of compact design and can be installed edgewise, flat or
vertically.
This design, without the addition of a fire barrier joint, allows the busbar trunking to
be installed through a floor slab or fire barrier wall.
As standard, the Canalis KT busbar trunking acts as a 2-hour fire barrier in
accordance with
ISO 834.
The RAL 9001 pre-lacquered galvanized steel casing provides protection and
mechanical fixing of the conductors.
Further, it is used as the PE protective conductor (in accordance with NFC 15100
and IEC 60367).
In its reinforced version 3L + N + PER, the busbar trunking is fitted with an
additional internal conductor with a cross-section equal to half that of the phase
conductor.
This version also has lateral reinforcements to allow high short-circuit currents (Isc)
to be supported.
The Canalis KT busbar trunking is suitable for applications containing harmonics by
taking into account the appropriate derating factor. See Harmonic currents in the
Design guide.
3L + N + PER
Tap-off contact
DD202498
The KS plug-on tap-off units are connected to the busbar trunking whilst live (offload) via spring jaw connections.
Contact zone coating:
b silver-plated copper at jaw contact points,
b aluminium / silver-plated copper bimetallic saddle welded to the live conductors.
The electrical contact pads of the sections are made from

bonded bimetallic aluminium / copper.
Joint block
DD202445
The junction between sections is made using a joint block.

The joint block provides the following:
b electrical junction between live conductors and between PE protective
conductors, mechanical link between the two sections.
It provides simultaneous continuity between all conductors.
It is tightened using torque bolt(s) (1 to 4 depending on the rating) with snap-off
heads.
The nut head snaps-off, freeing a red washer, when the correct tightening torque is
reached.
DD202389
This operation is checked visually:

b if the red washer is absent: it has been tightened,
b if the red washer is visible: it has not been tightened.
This device guarantees the necessary contact pressure between live conductors
and is operator independent.
For dismantling or maintenance operations, the nut has a second head.
The tightening torque is 6 daN.m.
All sections (apart from ER and EL feed units) are supplied with their joint
block, delivered in a separate parcel.
If the run has a feed unit (ER or EL) at each end, an additional joint block
must be ordered.

Canalis KTA
Description
DD210275
The tap-off units are used to instantly connect loads or secondary runs, and comply
with installation standards and regulations, whatever the earthing system (TT, TNS,
TNC or IT).
When off-load, they can be plugged-on and off and be operated whilst live.
Plugging-on and plugging-off automatically opens and closes the tap-off point.
DD210276
No live part is accessible with the door open. The protection degree is IPXXB
(finger protection).
They are IP55 by construction (no accessory is required).
Safety and operation
Fuse and modular switchgear tap-off units (AC22 to AC20) are isolated as soon as
the tap-off unit door is opened.
This isolating operation must only be carried out off-load.
For circuit breaker tap-off units, there are safety mechanisms to prevent:
b the tap-off unit being plugged-on and plugged-off with the tap-off unit door
closed,
b the door being closed if the tap-off unit has not been locked onto the busbar
trunking,
b access to the electrical equipment and connection terminals when live,
b the door being opened in the ON position for tap-off units fitted with a Compact
NS or NG circuit breaker.

To order a protective cover onto which a feed connector is fitted, the parameters D,
G and Z, which depend on the feed connector, must be given.
Example: the catalogue number of a rigid vertical protective cover with dimension
Y = 350 intended for a feed unit with different between centre dimensions D, G and
Z (in mm) is:
KTB0350CR2, D = 330, G = 450 and Z = 500.

Protective cover for ER N1 to N6 straight end feed connectors

Dimensions D and G are determined by the between centres dimensions (J, K and M) of the
end feed connector bars to be protected.
The position of the neutral on the feed connector also determines the rule to be used for
calculating parameters D and G.
If the feed connector comes into the cover with the neutral on the right:
D = K / 2 + M + 100
G = K / 2 + J + 100
If the feed connector comes into the cover with the neutral on the left:
D = K / 2 + J + 100
G = K / 2 + M + 100

Dimensions D and G are determined by the between centres dimensions (P, Q, R and S) of the

Position of the neutral on the feed connector also determines the rule to be used for calculating
parameters D and G.
If the feed connector comes into the cover with the neutral on the right:
D = max(R ; S) + 100
G = max(P ; Q) + 100
If the feed connector comes into the cover with the neutral on the left:

Determining the rating

Providing power distribution using
Canalis
Canalis KTA
Apart from extreme atmospheres, Canalis can be installed anywhere!
The order described below is only aimed at presenting the different stages for a
simple installation.
For a detailed design, it is necessary to use appropriate tools, approved by control
bodies, in compliance with local installation standards.
The Ecodial software, edited by Schneider Electric, meets this requirement
perfectly.
Design order:
1 Define run layouts.

2 Identify external influences.
3 Determine the current rating (Ib).
4 Calculate the nominal current (In) taking into account derating coefficients.
5 Choose the busbar trunking rating.
6 Check the rating with respect to allowable voltage drop.
7 Check busbar trunking overloads.
8 Check the rating with respect to short-circuit withstand current.
9 Choose the source and feeder circuit breakers.
1 - Canalis busbar trunking layout

The layout of the distribution runs depends on the position of the loads and where
the source is located.
Load protection is placed in the tap-off boxes, at the point of use.
A single and same Canalis busbar trunking supplies a group of loads of different
ratings.
Schneider Electric has tools you can use to help you choose the architecture best
suited to your application:
b the Idpro software to simulate the organisation of your electrical networks,
b application orientated technical guides (car industry, data centers, shopping
centres, etc).
Protection degree
Canalis KT busbar trunking is IP55 and IPxxD by construction.
This protection degree protects the busbar trunking against:
b dust,
b penetration by a 1mm diameter wire,
b water projections from all directions.
241202DD
Design guide
2 - Identification of external influences
It can be installed in almost all premises; for more details see the Determining the
protection degree pages.
Wherever the busbar trunking must pass outside the building, an aluminium
roof can be supplied; consult your Schneider Electric distributor for information
concerning this option.
Corrosive atmosphere
The busbar trunking has been qualified for industrial atmospheres.
For sulphurous atmospheres such as sulphur dioxide (SO2) and hydrogen sulphide
(H2S), there is a suitable Canalis KT solution; consult your Schneider Electric
distributor for more information on this option.
Example: paper mills, water treatment works, etc.

Radiated electromagnetic fields
According to the WHO (World Health Organisation), exposure to radiated

electromagnetic fields above 0.2 micro Tesla can be dangerous causing a risk of
cancer over the long term. Some countries have standardised the limit: Sweden =
0.2 T, at a distance of 1 metre.
All electrical conductors generate a magnetic field, the strength of which is
proportional to the distance between them. The Canalis busbar trunking concept
(metal casing and conductors near together) helps to considerably reduce radiated
electromagnetic fields.
In specific cases where particularly low values are required (computer rooms,
hospitals, some offices), it is important to keep in mind the following:
b the induction generated around 3-phase distribution. This is proportional to the
current and the distance between the conductors, and inversely proportional to the
square of the distance with respect to the busbar trunking and the screening effect
of the case,
b the induction generated around busbar trunking. This is less than the induction
generated around an equivalent cable distribution,
b Canalis steel casing. This attenuates the induction more than an equivalent
aluminium casing of the same thickness (screening effect),
b the induction generated around busbar trunking with sandwiched bars. This is
particularly low because of the short distance between the bars and the additional
attenuation provided by the steel casing.
3 - Determining the current rating (Ib)

DD210066
Calculation of the total current (Ib) absorbed by a run is equal to the sum of the
currents absorbed by all of the loads.
The loads do not all operate at the same time and, as they are not continuously at
full load, a stacking or simultaneity factor Ks has to be taken into account:
Ib = Ib load x Ks

Caution: for industrial installations, remember to take into account future increases in the
number of machines. A 20 % reserve is recommended.
4 - Calculating nominal current (ln) by applying a derating coefficient

Ambient temperature
Canalis busbar trunking is sized to operate at an average ambient temperature of
35 C. Above this value, the busbar trunking must be derated.
Example: Canalis KT 1250 A installed inside with an ambient temperature of 45 C:
In = 1250 x 0.93 = 1162 A.
In u Ib x k1 = Iz
Where k1 = ambient temperature derating coefficient.

6 - Checking the rating with respect to allowable voltage drop.

The voltage drop between the start and all points of use must not be greater than
the values in the table below:
Installation supplied by:
Lighting
Other use
Low voltage public distribution network
3%
5%
High voltage distribution network
6%
8%
The allowable voltage drop is that which is compatible with correct load operation
(refer to manufacturers guides).
b Read voltage drop in V / 100 m /A for the busbar trunking chosen in accordance
with temperature rise.
b Determine the voltage drop for the worst case loads, i.e. those furthest from the
source and for the highest current.
If the voltage drop exceeds allowable limits, choose the next rating up.
Re-check the voltage drop for the new rating.
Voltage drop, in volts per 100 metres and per amp for 3-phase 50 Hz current with
load spread over the run. For loads concentrated at the end of a run (transport),
the voltage drops are double those shown in the table below:

According to the above table, the voltage drop coefficient for 100 metres and per
amp is equal to 0.0031V / 100m /A.
0.0031 x 0.87 x 1530 = 4.12 V

7 - Protecting against busbar trunking overloads.
To allow for extensions, the busbar trunking is generally protected at its nominal
current Inc (or its allowable current Iz if the ambient temperature coefficient k1 is
applied).
b Circuit breaker protection:
v adjust Ir of the circuit breaker such that:
Iz = Ib x k1 y Ir y Inc
Circuit breaker protection allows the Canalis busbar trunking to be used at full
capacity because the standardised nominal current In of the circuit breaker is
In y Inc / K2 where K2 = 1.
b Protection using gG (gI) fuse:
v determine the standardised nominal current In of the fuse such that: In y Inc / K2
v where K2 = 1.1.
v choose the standardised rating In that is equal to or just lower.
Check the following condition: In u Ib x k1 = Iz.
If this condition is not met, choose the busbar trunking with the next rating up.
Note: using gI fuses for protection means reducing the busbar trunkings allowable
current.
8 - Checking the rating and choice of circuit breaker with respect to short-circuit withstand current
Short-circuit current withstand is shown in the table below.
This value must be greater than the prospective short-circuit current, at all points of
the installation.
b Calculate the short-circuit current value at the worst case points.
b Check the chosen rating allows the busbar trunking to cope with this short-circuit
current.
b If this is not the case, there are 2 possible solutions:
b choose a higher rating busbar trunking and re-check,
b provide a peak current limiting protection system upstream of the busbar
trunking.

9 - Choosing source and feeder circuit breakers according to the number and rating of the supply
transformers
DD210981
The choice of a circuit breaker to protect a circuit depends mainly on the following
2 criteria:
b the nominal current of the source or the loads, which determines the appropriate
rating of the device,
b the maximum short-circuit current at the point in question, which determines the
minimum breaking capacity of the device.
For the case of several parallel transformers(1):

b the source circuit breaker D1 must have a breaking capacity greater than the
largest of the 2 following values:
v either Isc1 (short-circuit at B1),
v or Isc2 + Isc3 (short-circuit at A1),
b the feeder circuit breaker D4 must have a breaking capacity greater than Isc1 +
Isc2 + Isc3.
Design guide
The table allows the following to be determined:

b the source circuit breaker, according to the number and rating of the supply
transformers (in the case of a single transformer, the table recommends a fixed
circuit breaker; in the case of several transformers, the table shows a drawout
circuit breaker and a fixed circuit breaker),
b the feeder circuit breaker, according to the sources and the nominal current
rating of the feeder (the circuit breakers shown in the table can be replaced by
limiter circuit breakers if the cascading technique is to be used with other circuit
breakers downstream of the feeder).
(1) To couple several transformers in parallel, the transformers must have the same Usc,
the same transformation ratio, the same coupling and the ratio of the power rating of the
2 transformers must be less than or equal to 2.
DD210983
Example:
3 incoming 1250 kVA transformers 20 kV / 410 V (In = 1760 A).
Feeders: including one 2000 A feeder, one 1600 A feeder and one 1000 A feeder.
What circuit breakers should be fitted at the incomer and for the feeders?
b Incomer circuit breakers:
either the Drawout Masterpact NW20N1 or the Drawout NS2000N circuit breakers
can be chosen. The choice will depend on the options required.
b Feeder circuit breakers:
the NW20H2 for the 2000 A feeder, the NW16H2 for the 1600 A feeder and the
NW10H2 for the 1000 A feeder are to be chosen.
These circuit breakers have the advantage of providing discrimination (full
discrimination) with the NW12H1 or NS1250N circuit breakers.

Protection of busbar trunking against

Canalis KTA
Introduction
System performance is guaranteed by coordination between the Merlin Gerin

circuit breaker protection and the distribution spread over the Canalis busbar
trunking.
Fully coordinated distributed electrical distribution perfectly meets the requirements
of safety, service continuity, system changes and simplicity.
In the following pages, we will explain the advantages of the Schneider Electric
system and Merlin Gerin circuit breaker protection, as well as the selection guide
tables for coordination between the Merlin Gerin circuit breakers and the Canalis
busbar trunking.
The use of Merlin Gerin circuit breakers provides:
b protection against overloads and short-circuits;
b coordination between the protective devices and the Canalis busbar trunking:
v full discrimination from 1 to 6300 A between all the circuit breakers of the Merlin
Gerin ranges,
v cascading:
- reinforcement of the small and medium power busbar trunking short-circuit
protective devices. This enables all short-circuit levels to be covered,
- protection of tap-offs using standard circuit breakers: this is achieved whatever
the position of the tap-off unit on the Canalis busbar trunking;
b the use of standard circuit breakers makes for simpler design whilst respecting a
high level of dependability;
b fault location is quick and easy;
b resetting is easy once the fault has been cleared by the site operator.
Adequacy between circuit breaker

ratings and busbar trunking
In order to take into consideration thermal overload protection of busbar trunking,

the different technologies of the protection switchgear and the maximum overload
operating currents must be considered.
By design, the thermal adjustment of a circuit breaker is more accurate.

- fuse k2 = 1.1
- circuit breaker k2 = 1.
b Iz = Ib x k1.

Example:
For a current rating Ib = 1900 A in an ambient temperature of 35C:
b fuse protection:
Inc = Ib x k1 x k2 = 1900 x 1 x 1.1 = 2090 A
The correct choice of busbar trunking is the KTA25 (Inc = 2500 A),
b circuit breaker protection:
Inc = Ib x k1 x k2 = 1900 x 1 x 1 = 1900 A
The correct choice of busbar trunking is the KTA20 (Inc = 2000 A),
A difference of 20 % in the measurement of operating currents results in an overrating of the busbar trunking of 10 % if it is protected by fuses.
DD210887

Explanations
b Calibration of thermal asymptotes:
v the distribution fuse is calibrated to operate for overloads of between 1.25 and
1.6 times its nominal current (In fuse),
v the circuit breaker is calibrated to operate for overloads of between 1.05 and
1.3 times (1.2 for circuit breakers with electronic protection) its setting current (Ir
which is a function of circuit breaker In).
b Maximum operating current:
v the maximum limit for this current is set by installation standards (IEC 364,
NFC 15-100, etc) at 1.45 times the allowable current of the busbar trunking.

Thermal setting accuracy
b A fuse is for a fixed rating, a change in the current to be protected requires a

change of fuse.
The spacing between 2 fuse ratings is around 25 %.
The typical ratings are conform to the numbers of the Renard series.
Example: 40 - 50 - 63 - 80 - 100 - 125 - 160 - 200 - etc.
b The circuit breaker provides the possibility of fine adjustment:
v 5 % for circuit breakers fitted with standard thermal-magnetic trip units,
v 3 % for circuit breakers fitted with electronic trip units.
A circuit breaker with a nominal rating of 100 A can be easily set to the following
values:
Ir = 100 A, 95 A, 90 A, 85 A, 80 A.
Example:
A circuit breaker with a nominal rating of 1600 A set at 1440 A would be used to
protect a KTA16 (Inc = 1440 A) busbar trunking used in an ambient temperature of
50 C (k1 = 0.9).
Setting range of circuit breakers fitted

with electronic trip units
Circuit breakers fitted with electronic trip units have the following setting ranges:
b thermal protection Ir adjustable from 0.4 In to In,
b short-circuit protection adjustable from 2 Ir to 10 Ir
DD210603
Example:
A 250 A circuit breaker (NS250N fitted with an STR22SE) can easily have the
following settings:
b thermal protection from 100 to 250 A,
b short-circuit protection from 200 to 2500 A.
Design guide
Example of setting possibilities
Avdantages
This provides great flexibility for:
b modifications (flexibility), extensions (installation changes): the protective
devices easily adapt to the load to be protected and to the earthing system
(protection of personnel and equipment),
b maintenance, the use of this type of device considerably reduces the stocks of
maintenance components.

Busbar trunking characteristics
The busbar trunking must meet all of the rules detailed in IEC 60439.1 and
IEC 60439.2.
The sizing of busbar trunking for short-circuits is determined by the following
characteristics:
b the allowable rated peak current Ipk (k).
b This characteristic represents the busbar trunkings instantaneous
electrodynamic withstand limits. The peak current value is often the most restrictive
instantaneous characteristic for the protective device,
b The maximum short-time withstand rms current Icw (kArms / s).
b This characteristic represents the allowable temperature rise limit of the
conductors during a given time period (0.1 to 1s),
b The thermal stress in A2s.
b This characteristic represents the instantaneous thermal stress withstand of the
busbar trunking. In general, if the short-circuit generates fault conditions compatible
with the first two characteristics, this constraint is automatically satisfied.
Circuit breaker characteristics
The circuit breaker must satisfy the requirements of product construction standards
(IEC 60947-2, etc) and installation standards (IEC 60364 or those in force in the
country concerned), i.e. have a breaking capacity Icu(1) greater than the prospective
short-circuit current Isc at the point where it is installed.
(1) Installation standard IEC 60364 and construction standards specify the breaking capacity of
a circuit breaker as being:
- the ultimate breaking capacity, Icu, if it is not coordinated with an upstream protective device,
- the reinforced breaking capacity (cascading) if there is coordination with the upstream
protective device.
DD210986
Circuit breaker / busbar trunking system

characteristics
When the busbar trunking is directly protected, the circuit breaker must be chosen
as follows:
b Icu of the circuit breaker u prospective Isc at point A,
b I peak of the busbar trunking u prospective asymmetrical or limited Isc at point A,
b busbar trunking thermal withstand Icw u thermal stress through the busbar
trunking.
DD210987
Design guide
When the busbar trunking is protected downstream of a cable, the circuit breaker
must be chosen as follows:
b Icu of the circuit breaker u prospective Isc at point A,
b I peak of the busbar trunking u prospective asymmetrical or limited Isc at point B,
b busbar trunking thermal withstand Icw u thermal stress through the busbar
trunking.

breaker
DD210988
This is applicable for non-limiting circuit breakers (instantaneous or time-delayed)

and time-delayed limiting circuit breakers.
These are mainly air circuit breakers (u 800 A).
This type of circuit breaker is used for time discrimination and is therefore often
associated with KT type busbar trunking.

Current value of the 1st peak as a function of Isc rms.
It must be checked that the busbar trunking can handle the peak fault current to
which it may be subjected and the thermal withstand during any time delay.
The allowable peak current (I peak) of the busbar trunking must be greater than the
peak current value of the prospective asymmetrical short-circuit current (Isc asym)
at A.
The asymmetrical short-circuit current value is obtained by multiplying the
symmetrical short-circuit current value (Isc) by a standardised asymmetrical
coefficient (k).
It is the first value of the 1st transient asymmetrical peak of the short-circuit which is
taken into account.

DD210990
At point A, the prospective short-circuit current is 117 KArms.

To meet this constraint, a reinforced KTA40 is needed because:
Icw KTA40 > Isc prospective at point A.
The Icw or IPK values of standard or reinforced KTA trunking allow the easy
construction of circuits with time discrimination, even with high short-circuit values.

Here, it has to be checked that the busbar trunking can cope with the peak current

Protecting busbar trunking with a

Compact NS circuit breaker
Canalis KTA
Limiting capacity
Compact NS circuit breakers are high current limiting circuit breakers.

The limiting capacity of a circuit breaker is its capacity to only allow a limited
current (IL) to flow in the event of a short-circuit. This limited current being less
than the prospective asymmetrical peak short-circuit current (Isc).
This greatly reduces the electrodynamic and thermal constraints on the installation
to be protected.
Applying limiting capacity to busbar

trunking protection
Even if this combination is less frequent than for KS busbar trunking, some KT
ratings can benefit from the association with a limiter circuit breaker.
DD210993
High power installation

If the circuit breakers limiting capacity is not taken into account:
b the prospective short-circuit current value (Isc) at point A would be 121 K,
b KTA16 would be the appropriate choice of busbar trunking.
If the limiting capacity of the Compact NS1000L is taken into account, the limited
Ipk is 50K < 110 K of the KTA10 busbar trunking.
Design guide
Because of the high limiting capacity of the Compact NS1000L, a KTA10 busbar
trunking can be installed into a prospective short-circuit current at point A of 150
KArms or 300 K.

The selection guide below will, according to the prospective short-circuit current of
the installation, allow you to determine the type of circuit breaker needed to fully
protect the busbar trunking.
Example: for an installation with a prospective Isc of 55 k, the circuit breaker
needed to protect a KTA12 A busbar trunking is a NW10L1 or NW12L1 (the rating
depends on the circuits nominal current).

Standard IEC 60364-5-51 categorises a large number of external influences to
which electrical installations can be subjected, for instance the presence of water,
solid objects, shocks, vibrations and corrosive substances.
The importance of these influences depends on the installation conditions. For
example, the presence of water can vary from a few drops to total immersion.
Degree of protection IP
Standard IEC 60529 (February 2001) indicates the degree of protection provided
by electrical equipment enclosures against accidental direct contact with live parts
and against the ingress of solid foreign objects or water.
This standard does not apply to protection against the risk of explosion or
conditions such as humidity, corrosive gases, fungi or vermin.
The IP code comprises 2 characteristic numerals and may include an additional
letter when the actual protection of persons against direct contact with live parts is
better than that indicated by the first numeral.
The first numeral characterises the protection of the equipment against penetration
of solid objects and the protection of people.
The second numeral characterises the protection of the equipment against
penetration of water with harmful effects.
Remarks concerning the degree of protection IP
The degree of protection IP must always be read and understood numeral by

numeral and not as a whole.
For example, an IP31 enclosure is suitable for an environment that requires a
minimum degree of protection IP21. However an IP30 wall-mount enclosure is not
suitable.
The degrees of protection indicated in this catalogue are valid for the enclosures
as presented. However, the indicated degree of protection is guaranteed only when
the installation and device mounting are carried out in accordance with professional
standard practice.
Additional letter
Design guide
Protection of persons against direct contact with live parts.

The additional letter is used only if the actual protection of persons is higher than
that indicated by the first characteristic numeral of the IP code.
If only the protection of persons is of interest, the two characteristic numerals are
replaced by the letter X, e.g. IPxxB.
Degree of protection IK
Standard IEC 62-262 defines a coding system (IK code) indicating the degree of
protection provided by electrical equipment enclosures against external mechanical
impact.
Installation standard IEC 60-364 provides a cross-reference between the various
degrees of protection and the environmental conditions classification, relating to
the selection of equipment according to external factors.
IK codepp
The IK code comprises 2 characteristic numerals (e.g. IK05).

Practical guide UTE C 15-103 shows, in the form of tables, the characteristics
required for electrical equipment (including minimum degrees of protection),
according to the locations in which they are installed.

Harmonic currents
Design guide
Canalis KTA
Origin of harmonic currents
Harmonic currents are caused by non-linear loads connected to distribution

systems, i.e. by loads that draw current with a waveform different that that of the
voltage that supplies them.
The most common non-linear loads are equipment including rectifiers, fluorescent
lighting and computer hardware.
In installations with a distributed neutral, non-linear loads may cause significant
overloads in the neutral conductor due to the presence of third-order harmonics.
DD210679
Harmonic order
The order is the ratio
between the harmonic
frequency fn and the
fundamental frequency
(generally the power
frequency, 50 or 60 Hz):
n = fn / f1
By definition, the
fundamental f1 is order 1
(H1).
Third-order harmonics (H3)
have a frequency of 150 Hz
(when f1 = 50 Hz).
Estimating THD (total harmonic

distortion)
The presence of third-order harmonics depends on the applications involved.

It is necessary to carry out an in-depth study on each non-linear load to determine
the level of H3:
ih3 (%) = 100 x i3 / i1
b i3 = rms current of H3
b i1 = rms current of the fundamental
Assuming that H3 is preponderant among harmonics, the THD is close to the value
of H3 (ih3(%)).
PD202029
PD202028
Design guide
There are two decisive factors:

b the types of connected devices:
v disturbing loads: fluorescent lighting, computer hardware, rectifiers, arc furnaces,
etc.,
v non-disturbing loads: heating, motors, pumps, etc.,
b the ratio between the two types of disturbing loads.

Protection
With DC, there is no zero crossing point of the voltage and current to facilitate arc
extinction in the protective device.
The arcing time is longer and the energy that has to be absorbed is higher than for
AC.
The voltage of the DC arc must rise to the source voltage very quickly in order to
put out the short-circuit current.
Shortened electrical equation: U network = R x Isc + Uarc where:
b Isc = U network - Uarc,
b R = 0 when Uarc = U network.
Use with specific switchgear
Design guide
A quick rise in arcing voltage can be achieved by using series fuses, one fuse on
the + and one fuse on the of each circuit.
For some current rating and fuse characteristics, the placing of two fuses in series
on each polarity may be specified (highly inductive circuit).
In some cases, two fuses must be placed in parallel for each polarity.

Transparent Ready units
Design guide
Canalis KTA
The Transparent Ready concept
DD205669
Transparent Ready is a simple solution to access information (status,

measurements, etc.) available from your electrical distribution equipment
(transformers, switchboards, busbar trunking).
This information can be accessed from any PC connected to your Ethernet network
via a simple Web browser (e.g. Internet Explorer). No other software is required.
Design guide
DD205671
DD205668
DD205666
Transparent Ready can make your company more competitive by:

b reducing operating costs
b optimising equipment performance
b improving the reliability of the electrical power supply.
Customer needs for measurements and

metering
In all non-residential buildings, the need for sub-metering exists and is growing
underthe combined effects of:
b national and supra-national energy regulations
b the need to reduce overheads and production costs
b the allocation of energy expenditures to cost centres
b the outsourcing of operations tasks to specialists.
Operators must therefore have access to reliable pre-processed information in
order to:
b identify areas for potential savings
b model building energy flows and anticipate evolving needs
b optimise energy supply and consumption.

b connection quality,
b cable cross-section,
b there are no loose metal parts (washers, screws) in the tap-off units.
Note: the results of these checks must have already been noted on the results
sheet by the installation contractor.
Checking insulation between live conductors and earth
Following this check, each link must be reconnected to the upstream transformer
(use the 2nd available 6 daN.m torque bolt heads).
Test means: 500V DC megger (DC to avoid capacitive currents)

Measurements: between each phase or neutral(1) and earth (the casing if it is
connected to earth).
LV circuit insulation value (U < 500 V): 1000 of nominal voltage (IEC 60 439-1)
allowed.
In all cases, the insulation resistance must not be less than 0.5 M for each link
(operating device).
Note: KT busbar trunking is given for U = 1000 V and Ri = 1 M (value to be taken
into account for all elements: transport and accessories, distribution).
(1) No neutral insulation if the earthing system is such that the neutral is connected to or used
as the earth.
Caution: In this case, once the transformer has been reconnected (star secondary), the phaseearth measurement is the winding resistance.

Note: this check is only to be performed if the busbar trunking is commissioned
at the same time as the transformer: the source circuit breaker protection setting
checks are related to transformer commissioning.

If this check is successful, the busbar trunking can be commissioned and
the energised operating tests performed with the appropriate protective
equipment
Commissioning and energised

equipment operating tests
NOTE: commissioning can only be carried out by personnel with appropriate

authorisations.
Preliminary operation: energising the off-load transformer.
Closing the source circuit breaker.
Checking phase order
Objective: to detect, in order to correct, an inversion of the phases or neutral

amongst the busbar trunkings 4 incoming and outgoing connections with respect
to the transformer output.
Test means: roto-phase or 3-phase harmonic analyser.
If busbar trunking energising is successful, a progressive start-up of the factory
must be requested to definitively validate commissioning.
If unsuccessful, the previous checks must be carried out again to try and
locate the fault. Before undertaking this, the equipment must once again be
made safe.
This test is performed once the busbar trunking has been energised. The
progressive start-up of loads will highlight any undesirable phenomena due to the
increased average load.
Real life operating test
Once the high power busbar trunking has been energised, the other busbar
trunking must be gradually put into service starting with those furthest from the
load, then each load itself, those with high pull-in currents, then the lighting,
contactors, heating, motors, etc.
There must not be excessive vibration, and no sparkovers should be observed.
The test simply consists of checking correct busbar trunking operation according
to:
b the average number of machines in operation,
b the load variation of each individual load,
b the simultaneous operation of machines (superimposing of peaks).
If everything is in order, the busbar trunking is declared in-service.
Testing is completed.

CanBrass software can be used to design the busbar trunking line.

The easy-to-use program creates a graphic model of the line, determines the
length and draws up the list of Canalis KT parts to order.
The Canalis KT line is easy to specify simply by indicating the required dimensions.
However, it is strongly advised to use the shortest and simplest path possible
between the transformer and the switchboard.
It is important to carefully plan the layout of the transformer and switchboard in
order to use:
b the maximum number of standard components rather than made-to-measure
components,
b the minimum number of components for changing direction,
b straight made-to-measure components rather than made-to-measure
components for changing direction.

When choosing the layout of the electrical installation, it is important care is taken
when positioning the neutral between the transformer and the switchboard.
If the neutral position is different to that planned, it is recommended the transformer
is moved, if possible, to align the neutral with respect to the switchboards neutral.
When it is not possible to move the transformer, it is recommended the phase order
in the switchboard is inversed.
If this cannot be done, use the phase and neutral transposition section.

In order to cope with dimensional differences between the drawings and actual
dimensions, it is desirable to provide an adjustable section or to leave a section
undecided for each partial run.
Adjustable section
DD202483
It has an initial length of 1300 mm and can be reduced or extended by the

installation contractor at the worksite ( 200 mm).
By planning the use of an adjustable section when producing the drawings, it can
be ordered with the rest of the material, without needing to wait until the job is
finished. It therefore allows the overall project completion time to be reduced.
DD210908
Allow a nominal dimension of 1300 mm on the drawing to guarantee an adjustment

of 200 mm on-site.
DD210906
This section will be ordered after the gap to be filled has been measured at the end
of the job. To optimise its delivery to site, prefer a straight section with a length of
less than 2 metres rather than made to measure elbows.

section.
2: Made to measure
elbow.

4: Standard elbow.
Layout recommendations for adjustable

or undecided sections
In order to provide for the place needed for an adjustable or undecided section,
install the elbows and the sections attached to the elbows in each angle (support
each assembly using 2 supports on each straight section).
DD210994
Design and
installation guide
DD210908
On the drawing, provide a minimum dimension of 700 mm to guarantee an

adjustment of 200 mm on-site. The minimum length of straight sections being
equal to 500 mm.
And then complete the layout with standard and made to measure straight
sections.

Straight section
DD210913
The nominal length L of a straight section is measured from the axis of the
joint block to the other axis of the joint block, in millimetres (the joint block axis is
located 20 mm from the end of the bars).
Dimension L of the standard or made to measure section = x - 40 mm.
(1) : For the different busbar trunking heights, see page K9AE41000/7.
(2) : See Run sections in Catalogue numbers and Dimensions.
x : measured dimension.
Example: x = 1860 mm hence L = 1860 - 40 = 1820 mm.

Checking and compensating for
expansion
Installation guide
Canalis KTA
DD202446
Expansion poses a problem when:

b the runs are made up of long straight sections,
b when the busbar trunking passes through an expansion joint between two
buildings.
Long part runs
Electrical busbar trunking can be subjected to a multitude of load variations during

its service life (e.g. day / night, summer / winter) which cause temperature rise
differences and thus variable expansions.
To absorb expansion in a Canalis KT busbar trunking, a specific section must be
used: the expansion section.
Horizontal runs without tap-off units
If the busbar trunking length is greater than 30 metres, provide for expansion
sections and appropriate blocking means. The ends and, in some cases, the
centre of part runs must be blocked in order to direct the extensions towards the
expansion sections.

Rules for fixing busbar trunking to the supports
DD211006
For correct system operation, the expansion of the part run in question must be
directed towards the expansion section.
This implies:
b the busbar trunking must be free from all longitudinal movement on its supports,
b the expansion section must be blocked on the opposite side to that by which it is
pushed.

General
Canalis KTA
PD202319
Canalis KT enables power distribution to each floor of multi-storey buildings (office

buildings, hotels, hospitals, etc).
In this application, Canalis KT retains all its construction principles:
All Canalis KT busbar trunking are inherent fire barriers for a duration of 2 hours.
Vertically mounted, the protection degree of the KT busbar trunking is IP55 as
standard.
Installing a rising main

1 Installation principle
Installation at each floor of:
b a 2 metre distribution section,
b a made to measure transport section to go through the floor slab,
b a busbar trunking support,
b up to 3 x 160 A tap-off units or a 250 or 400 A tap-off unit and a 160 A tap-off unit.
2 Installation feed
The installation feed is achieved using either a cable box or by direct connection to
an electrical distribution switchboard.
3 Busbar trunking supports

The supports fix the vertical run section to the building structure. a floor slab
support. It can be fixed to either the wall, to a wall bracket or directly to the floor,
This type of fixing support has the following advantages:
b fitting to either the wall, to a wall bracket or directly to the floor,
b height adjustment to make up for positioning errors,
b depth adjustment from 50 to100 mm,
b spring adjustment to ensure distribution of the load at each floor,
b absorption of building stresses with respect to the busbar trunking (expansion,
vibration, etc) thanks to the springs.

We recommend you provide for a distance of:

b 400 mm between the floor slab and the joint block axis to be able to install a
support to the wall or wall bracket to facilitate the re-filling of the hole and to cope
with possible building faults (e.g. screed not indicated on the drawings). Provide
500 mm for a floor fixing.
b 200 mm between the upper joint block and the ceiling to allow the busbar
trunking to be boxed-in when filling-in the hole with plaster or concrete.

The Trihal dry-type transformers are supplied with a specific interface tested to
receive the Canalis KT busbar trunking. Jointing with the switchboard is achieved
using a standard run section (straight, elbow section, etc) and a joint block identical
to that for connecting run elements.
The Canalis KT/ dry type transformer interface, which is fitted to the transformer,
is designed to accept the transformers 25 % overload in the case of forced
ventilation.
The connections are tested and qualified in normal operating conditions with
respect to temperature rise () and short-circuits (Isc).
The busbar trunking is quickly connected to the dry-type transformer using a simple
joint block with torque nuts, guaranteeing tightening torque.

Installation guide
Canalis KTA
PD202330
Canalis KT can be connected to cast resin transformers using a universal feed.

The connection is made using a flexible busbar (connection plates or braids) to
avoid transmitting vibrations and expansions. The connection plates are made up
of either insulated or non-insulated flexible copper bars, drilled at one or both ends.
A nut and bolt kit allows connection to the feed.
The connections use torque-head bolts which provide both ease of installation and
visual inspection of correct tightening before energising.

Recommendations
Canalis KTA
This document contains practical information, lays out the general
recommendations (as a complement to the installation regulations) and specifies
the basic instructions that must be respected when handling and storing Schneider
Electric Canalis busbar trunking system.
The purchasers engineering, installation and operating staff must become
acquainted with this document and become familiar with the appearance and
characteristics of each of the Canalis busbar trunking systems components.
Appropriate planning and coordination between the different job functions is
indispensable for ensuring an efficient installation of the equipment.
Each Canalis busbar trunking system is carefully inspected and packaged at the
assembly plant.
The entire system is checked both structurally and electrically.
At the end of inspection, the busbar trunking system is prepared for shipping.
Each section is packed to guarantee easy handling before its installation.
The catalogue number is written on each shipping unit.
Warning
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, BURNS OR EXPLOSION
b Protect the equipment against all contact with water, salt, concrete and other
corrosive surroundings both before and during installation.
b Outdoor equipment is not resistant to bad weather until after it has been fully and
correctly installed.
b Do not sit or walk on the equipment.
If these instructions are not respected, the equipment may deteriorate leading to a
risk of serious or mortal injury.
Reception
Upon reception, check the information on the shipping note corresponds to the
equipment received to ensure all of the order has been received and shipped.
Complaints concerning missing components or other errors must be sent in
writing to Schneider Electric SAS within 30 days from the date the shipping item
was received. If no complaint has been received within 30 days from the date the
shipping item was received, Schneider Electric SAS will no longer be responsible

Upon reception, check the various units of the busbar trunking system immediately
to identify any damage that has occurred during transport.
If there is observed or suspected damage, file a claim immediately with the carrier
and inform the nearest Schneider Electric office.
Handling
Handle Canalis products with the greatest of care to avoid damaging the internal
components of the system and to avoid changing the external appearance of the
various parts, as well as the bar ends (connection terminals).
The busbar trunking must be constantly supported by independent means, in
such a way its weight is not resting on the top of the transformers or distribution
switchboards.
The distance between these support means must not exceed 3 metres.
Recommandations
Avoid exposing the busbar trunking to twisting, embossing or impacts, and all other
actions likely to causing damage.
Ensure the handling equipment available at the site of installation is suitable for
handling busbar trunking. In particular, check the lifting capacity of the crane or the
other lifting equipment to be used.
Schneider Electric
K9AE51000
Recommendations
Canalis KTA
Take great care when unpacking the equipment:
b use a nail-head puller when unpacking wooden crates,
b if hauling the busbar trunking with a crane, use Nylon slings to spread the weight
of the unit being lifted,
b if using cables, insert a spacing means to avoid damaging the busbar trunking,
b if using a forklift truck, position the busbar trunking on the forks in such a way the
weight is evenly distributed.
1 - Cut the strapping holding the packaging case using suitable cutting tools.
2 - Use suitable tools to remove the strengthened steel packaging at each end of
the busbar trunking.
Take care not to damage the steel box so as not to damage the busbar trunking.
Avoid the use of objects with sharp edges when lifting the busbar trunking.
3 - Dispose of all used packaging in an appropriate way.
Never drag the busbar trunking along the floor. Do not use the end bars to lift
sections of the busbar trunking.
Protection against humidity during

storage
If the busbar trunking is not installed and commissioned immediately, leave it in

the original Canalis packaging and store it in a clean and dry place at a uniform
temperature.
The busbar trunking must not be stored outside. However, if outside storage
is necessary, cover the busbar trunking in such a way as to protect it from bad
weather and to avoid contact with the elements.
Temporary electrical heating must be provided for underneath the covering means
to prevent condensation.
The supplied heat must be of suitable temperature and uniformly distributed
underneath the covering means.
Recommandations
Outdoor busbar trunking is not resistant to bad weather until after it has been fully
and correctly installed.
During installation, take particular care to protect rising mains from humidity arising
from unfinished roofs, walls and other similar elements.

Schneider Electric
Recommendations
Maintenance
Run sections
Canalis KTA
Danger
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, BURNS OR EXPLOSION

The installation, operation and maintenance of the equipment must only be
carried out by qualified electrical maintenance staff. This document must not be
considered as being a sufficient means for allowing non-qualified staff to undertake
the operation and maintenance of the equipment.
b Cut the electrical supply to the busbar trunking before installing, removing or
working on the equipment.
b Always use a suitable nominal voltage detection means to confirm the supply
has been cut.
b Effective use of the equipment requires the implementation of appropriate
handling, installation, functioning and maintenance operations.
If these instructions are not respected, there is a risk of serious injury or
death.
Warning
RISK OF DAMAGING THE EQUIPMENT

Hydrocarbon aerosols and aerosols using a hydrocarbon base may cause the
deterioration of certain plastics.
Before using certain products to clean, dry or lubricate the different components
during installation or maintenance, consult your nearest Schneider Electric SAS
office.
If these instructions are not respected, the equipment may deteriorate
leading to a risk of serious injury or death.
Run sections
Canalis busbar trunking has been designed for minimum maintenance.

Inspect the busbar trunking once a year, or after all serious incidents concerning
electrical short-circuits or earthing faults.
Carry out the following maintenance procedures:
b meticulously inspect all visible electrical connections and joints. Do not remove
joint covers. Check the nuts and bolts are correctly tightened,
b use a torque wrench to check bolt tightening torques.
The tightening torque is marked on the connection block and the following values
must be respected:
Bolt
HM 16
HM 14
HM 12
HM 10
Tightening torque
16 mdaN
12 mdaN
7 mdaN
5 mdaN
If one of the joints or terminals is highly discoloured, corroded or pitted, or shows

signs it has been exposed to high temperatures, the material concerned must be
replaced with new factory mounted material. Consult your local Schneider Electric
office for all replacements,
b ensure all mechanisms are in good working order.
Lubricate the moving parts of the various mechanisms if necessary. Similarly,
remove all excess lubrication to avoid undesirable foreign bodies from gathering,
b check the insulation resistance before re-energising the busbar trunking.
It is recommended that resistance measurements are recorded. If these values
decrease significantly over time, it means deterioration is underway.
Carry out an insulation resistance test in compliance with the instructions given in
the Testing and comissioning procedure section.
Recommandations
Re-energise the equipment in accordance with the instructions given in the Testing
and comissioning procedure section.
Schneider Electric
K9AE52000
Recommendations
Maintenance
Recycling
Canalis KTA
After having performed all the necessary inspections and repairs mentioned above,
it may be desirable to carry out infrared temperature measurements on all the
electrical connections. This operation must be done once the busbar trunking has
been re-energised and reached a stabilized temperature.
Responsibility
Schneider Electric declines all responsibility for maintenance carried out in a
non-compliant way with respect to specifications or installation regulations, for
inappropriate storage conditions, for inappropriate product environments (chemical
and ambient conditions, atmospheric conditions, etc.), for the incorrect use of the
products, and for the non-respect of installation and / or connection procedures.
Distribution tap-off units
Contact between busbar trunking and tap-off boxes.
Busbar trunking contacts consist of sprung silver plated contact jaws to ensure
optimum contact quality. The contacts do not use plastic for their support or
transmission of force.
They are connected to the live conductors of the run at the tap-off point. Silverplated copper conductors are used at the place of contact.
These devices are maintenance-free.
Cable connection
Cable connection of the feeders are via terminals or lugs.

As with all screw connections, it is recommended that tightening torque be checked
one year after installation and then to space-out the checks.
Protection switchgear
For all devices fitted in Canalis tap-off units, the manufacturers recommendations
must be complied with.
Checking appearance
It is recommended the external cleanliness of the tap-off units be checked yearly

to remove dust, water and oil deposits, and all other conductive bodies from the
sensitive zones.
Check for signs of shock which may affect the protection degree.
Recycling busbar trunking
Canalis busbar trunking can be reused. Canalis busbar trunking is designed for a
long service life and can easily be dismantled, cleaned and reused.
DD205673
All packaging materials can be recycled (cardboard or recyclable polyethylene

film).
All Canalis products are designed for safe end-of-life recycling. PVC, on the other
hand, requires neutralisation of the hydrochloric acid produced using lime and
generates dioxins that are extremely toxic.
Example:
1 kg of PVC generates 1 kg of waste.
K9AE52000
The depletion of raw materials (copper, plastics, etc.) is one of our ongoing
concerns.
For this reason, we have optimised the used of all materials used to make our
busbar trunking.
b Reduction of dangerous or polluting materials. We design our products to meet
future European directives.
b Reduction in the weight of insulating materials.
b Reduction in the use of plastics for improved fire performance: less energy
released during combustion, thereby limiting propagation and facilitating extinction
(lower calorific value).
