Integrated Power Systems (IPS)

A Busduct System is an assembly comprising a system of conductors with one or more bars separated or / and supported by insulating material and contained in a conduit or similar casing.
There are mainly two types of busduct systems based on the type of construction: Air-insulated and Sandwich.
An air-insulated busduct construction has air as an insulation between conductors, hence the overall size of this type of busduct is greater compared to a sandwich busduct. Sandwich construction means that the conductors are individually insulated and mounted so as to resemble a sandwich of conductors and insulation within the busduct casing.
A busduct is manufactured into totally enclosed, pre-fabricated sections consisting of copper or aluminium busbars. Power is simply tapped off by plug-in points positioned at required intervals. Typically, a busduct system will consist of straight lengths, flanged ends, elbows, end feed boxes, end covers, plug-in boxes and other accessories.

Lower impedance of the busduct system results in lower voltage drop as compared to cable and air insulated busduct systems.
The busduct system is compact in size, resulting in big savings on electrical shaft size, and more usable floor area on every floor.
Fewer joints in the sandwich busduct system result in savings on installation costs as compared to air-insulated busducts.
The system is simple, compact and adds a touch of elegance to the ambiance.
The sturdy and robust metal enclosure gives it high mechanical strength.
In a cable system, if the load on any section exceeds the limits, an additional cable has to be run from a spare feeder on the main board to that section; in a busduct system, each plug-in box can normally be added to or removed with the busduct in live condition, eliminating production downtime.

When used for rising main application or a wall / crossing, the sandwich busduct system negates the need for internal fire barriers, because there is no air gap in the casing to give the chimney effect which would allow the passage of smoke and fire. Better protection against ingress makes sandwich construction more secure against flashover because of ingress.
Any section of busduct system can be removed without disturbing the adjacent sections.
Flexible and safe distribution system increases the ease and speed of installation. The system can be dismantled and re-used.
Sandwich busduct systems have high mechanical strength because of the metal enclosure, and therefore have higher short-circuit withstand capacity compared to cables.

International accreditations affirm our quality standards:

Busduct are tested for compliance with Seismic Zone-5, in accordance to IEEE:693-2005 (High Seismic Qualification Level) and 1S:1893-2002 standards.
Busducts also comply for Flame Propagation & Fire Resistance in Building Penetration tests as per requirement of IEC standard
