Bus Spacings in Metal-Enclosed Switchgear

When considering bus spacings, two dimensions are important. The first is clearance, or the distance through air between conductors of opposite polarity or between an energized conductor and ground.

Industrial Controls Catalogue Canada Section 5

Busbar systems with 60 mm bus-bar center-to-center clearance have now become firmly estab-lished in the US market. The permissible busbar temper-ature is a decisive factor when dimensioning the
