As highlighted in Electrical Engineering Portal’s guide, “Design and installation of low voltage busbar trunking systems,” these systems offer a streamlined solution for power distribution in large spaces. Busbar trunking systems are increasingly preferred for their flexibility, ease of installation, and cost-efficiency over traditional cable setups.
The guide outlines key applications of busbar trunking, including distribution trunking runs, commonly used in factories, offices, and residential complexes. These runs use tap-off units to extract power efficiently at specified positions. The feeder trunking run, on the other hand, connects switchboards or transformers, providing better mechanical strength and reducing installation time compared to traditional cabling methods.
Some of the key benefits busbar trunking systems offer over cable-based systems include:
- Cost savings on both materials and labor
- Quicker installation with fewer fixings
- Flexibility to expand for future power needs
- Improved aesthetic appeal and space efficiency
- Enhanced fire resistance and reduced voltage drops in feeder trunking
Advanced solutions utilizing LV busbar trunking are offered, designed to meet the strictest safety and performance standards, including compliance with BS EN 61439-6. These systems are ideal for large-scale facilities, enabling efficient power distribution with superior scalability.
