As highlighted by CS Electric in their article “Advantages of Busbar Trunking System Over Conventional Cable Distribution Systems,” the Busbar Trunking System (BTS) is an advanced method of distributing electric power using copper or aluminum busbars within protective enclosures. This system offers superior safety and convenience compared to traditional cable systems.
Design: Busbars feature a compact design, allowing compressed flat conductors to pass through the enclosure. This space-saving design is especially advantageous when transmitting thousands of amperes of electricity, making busbars more efficient than traditional cabling systems.
Heat Absorption: The metal casing and well-defined surface of busbars enhance their ability to absorb heat generated during transmission and distribution. This efficient cooling system outperforms traditional cables in managing thermal conditions.
Flexibility: Busbars are highly flexible, accommodating any structural configuration and easily modifiable to include additional rooms or buildings. They can be relocated with minimal capital expenditure, unlike cables which require significant resources to reconfigure.
Cost Savings: Busbars are easier and quicker to install compared to traditional cables, resulting in lower installation costs and reduced time requirements.
Better Resistance: The rigid design elements of busbars provide better resistance, especially during short circuits. The minimal distance between conductors reduces resistance induction, and the thin, flat tire optimally distributes current density, resulting in lower voltage loss compared to cables.
Reduced Loss of Energy: Busbars have lower resistance than cables, minimizing energy loss during transmission and distribution. They also require less reactive power, making them more efficient.
Lower Electromagnetic Field: The compact design and steel shell of busbars create a lower electromagnetic field compared to cables. This allows high loads of 4000 to 5000 amperes to be managed near data cables without electromagnetic interference.
No Dependency on Length: Traditional cables vary in length based on location and connection, but busbars eliminate this issue. Busbars maintain equal load distribution on each phase due to their active and inductive resistance parameters.
The company endorses the use of busbar trunking systems for modern power distribution needs. Their efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and safety make busbars the preferred choice over conventional cabling.
