Avail Bus Systems’ Post

Does size really matter? 👀 Our fellow #EngineeringEnthusiasts will be relieved to know that in the context of Switchboards, the rated amperage supersedes the physical size of the board as an indicator of capacity. This Empty Feeder Panel, ready for DIN Rail Modular Equipment has been built for factory usage, once again proving that there really isn't an industry that we can't accommodate😇 Additional Info: Some reasons for Empty Feeder Panels are: Future Expansion, Spare Capacity, Unoccupied Space or Temporary Disconnection. Whatever the reasons are, it is important to note that empty feeders should be properly capped or sealed to prevent dust, moisture, or foreign objects from entering the conduit and potentially causing electrical problems. Additionally, empty feeders should be clearly labelled to avoid confusion during future maintenance or expansion work. As always, please post any questions that you might have in the comments🎓 #DBSA #Switchboards #electrticalengineering #amperage #DinRail #PowerSystems #Supplier

🤔 Wednesday - Watts That? 🔍 Have you ever wondered how substations manage thermal expansion and contraction within their bus systems? The answer lies in Expansion Fittings, a crucial yet often overlooked component of substation design. When busbars heat up or cool down, they naturally expand and contract. Expansion fittings ensure that this movement doesn’t cause mechanical stress or misalignment, which could lead to operational failures. Here’s a quick breakdown of the most common types: 🔹 Sliding Expansion Joints: Allow longitudinal movement while maintaining electrical continuity. 🔹 Flexible Connectors: Braided designs that absorb movements effectively. 🔹 Bellows Expansion Joints: Accordion-like structures that handle expansion without compromising safety. Manufacturers, like Hubbell Incorporated, AFL, SEFCOR, Inc., and DMC POWER offer a variety of these types of fittings to keep our electric grid running smoothly and safely.

Guidance for Design and Installation of Copper for Busbars by Copper Development Association Inc. Busbars are integral to #electrical #installations, serving to distribute #power from a single supply point to multiple output circuits. Their applications are diverse, encompassing configurations such as vertical risers that deliver current to each floor of a multi-story building, as well as #busbars confined to a #distribution #panel or utilized within an industrial process. This book offers the necessary information for designing efficient, economical, and dependable #busbarsystems. In any #electricalcircuit, a portion of the electrical #energy is dissipated as heat, which can compromise the system's long-term performance and safety if not maintained within acceptable limits. For busbar systems, the maximum permissible working current is chiefly dictated by the highest allowable operating temperature, influenced by factors including safety, preservation of the conductor's #mechanical properties, and compatibility with support #structures and #cable #connections...

Did you know that Electrical Construction & Maintenance estimates that 50% of all busway failures are caused by insufficient bridge joint bolt tension? Inadequate tension can lead to catastrophic failures of the busway, resulting in: -Arc faults in the joint  -Excessive heat and thermal runaway With SmartBolts you can eliminate these failures before they occur. Here’s how:  -Every SmartBolt is precision engineered to indicate the proper tension required for the bolted connection upon initial installation, immediately signifying that the joint has necessary clamp force. -The Visual Indication System in the SmartBolt provides real-time tension updates ‘at a glance’ - changing from red (loose) to black (tight) in color. -Meaning that during maintenance, you can easily identify and focus on re-tensioning only the bolts that require it, saving time and reducing the risk of over-tightening. Make the switch to SmartBolts today to enhance the safety and reliability of your electrical systems. Don’t leave the integrity of your systems to chance—choose SmartBolts!

copper has better thermal conductivity too due to which it dissipates heat more efficiently than any other metal used in electrical applications. This increases the safety and reliability of systems.
