Canalis, a comprehensive and consistent for lighting and power distribution

A new path for achieving your electrical installations

Canalis is part of a comprehensive offer of products that are perfectly coordinated to meet all medium and low voltage electrical distribution requirements. All of these products have been designed to work together: electrical, mechanical and communication compatibility. The electrical installation is thus both optimised and high-performance.
Optimum system performance is ensured by coordination between the protection circuit breakers and the busbar trunking used for decentralised distribution. Decentralised electrical distribution with total coordination perfectly satisfies all your requirements in terms of safety, continuity of service, upgradeability and simplicity. Decentralised electrical distribution with total coordination is the ideal solution for a wide range of applications including factories, warehouses, commercial premises and laboratories.

busbar trunking system in all types of buildings

Easier
Coordination Schneider Electric proposes coordinated busbar trunking and circuit breaker combinations for all your applications. For typical applications with power ratings up to 630 kVA, a solution including the low-voltage electrical switchboard, circuit breakers and Canalis busbar trunking ensures an installation sized to handle all short-circuit levels encountered. Design With Canalis busbar trunking, electrical power is available throughout your installation. The electrical installation can be designed without knowing the exact location of the equipment to be supplied. Operation Canalis opens the door to total upgradeability throughout the installation. Tap-off units with standard performance circuit breakers can be installed at any point along the busbar trunking run, whatever the prospective short-circuit current.

Safer
Decentralised distribution system When all aspects are coordinated, safety and continuity of service are maximised. The combination of cascading and discrimination techniques guarantees optimum safety and continuity of service. Design Total discrimination for enhanced protection as standard and at a lower cost. Operation Any changes to your installation are carried out in complete safety. Tap-off units can be plugged in and out with the trunking live. They are equipped with interlocking systems to prevent incorrect mounting. Coordination guarantees their installation at any point on the busbar trunking system.

For you, the electrical contractor

Canalis offers a number of advantages thanks to prefabricated design and qualities of Canalis

1 2 3 4

Maximise safety

Interlocking systems prevent mounting errors and reduce inspection times. Work is carried out safely without exposure to live connections. Live parts in Canalis tap-off units are not accessible. Tap-off units can be added and removed with the trunking energised. Interlocking devices eliminate connection errors. The PE conductor is connected before the phase and neutral conductors to enhance protection.

Control deadlines

Prefabricated design ensures smooth work flow. Installation times can be precisely planned in advance and, if plans must be changed, a fast and effective solution is always available with the adaptable and upgradeable Canalis system. The result is improved productivity.

Make modifications easy

With Canalis, electrical equipment can be moved or a machine added easily and quickly. That is the type of service that customers appreciate. With cables, the same modification could take over a day. That can become a real problem if another job has already been scheduled. What is more, customers today expect this type of service at no extra cost.

Create a new image for electrical contracting

The worksite remains clean, with no cable ends or waste scattered about. Stand out from the crowd and gain customer recognition by installing modern upgradeable systems.

Provide greater continuity of service

In the industrial sector, customers want continuity of service. Canalis avoids costly production shutdowns. Tap-off units can be connected or disconnected with the trunking live. This makes it possible to add or remove loads without cutting power to the rest of the installation.

Offer quick modifications

at no cost to you! Accept last-minute changes with a smile. Your customers will be even more satisfied and that means more business for you. The need to change the electrical distribution network will no longer be an obstacle to development projects.

Offer total freedom for upgrades

Your customers will have access to electrical power throughout their installations. Easy upgrading of the electrical installation become a routine part of future investment projects.

Offer flexibility in machine layout

without taking any risks on your quote. In the early stages of a project, firm information on machine layout is not always available. The customer nevertheless needs a good idea on the costs and deadlines that you can meet. With Canalis, you have the solution in hand because: b the product can handle any and all modifications, b worksite uncertainties are reduced to a minimum and deadlines remain under control, b the customer is reassured, they now have the time to analyse and finalise the layout. Canalis offers a degree of flexibility unmatched by any conventional solution.

Offer a reusable system

Canalis is 100% reusable, producing major savings when changing layouts or increasing power ratings.

Simplify maintenance

Due to successive modifications, many customers lose a clear understanding of their electrical installation over the course of time. With Canalis, the entire distribution network remains clear, consistent and easy to understand, whatever the changes.

Offer an attractive solution

Provide your customer with a discreet product that blends in with the on-site architecture. This represents a clear advantage over cable trays running under ceilings and along walls. This added touch will show your customer that your know-how goes beyond technical aspects.

Simplified design guide

Due to its flexible design, KDP busbar trunking simplifies routing and thus reduces design and installation times. It is the optimum solution for installations with false ceilings or floors. KBA and KBB busbar trunking is ideal where the building structure cannot support the luminaires. It offers an IP55 degree of protection which means they can be installed in all types of buildings.

Which trunking for lighting distribution?

The busbar trunking: cannot support the luminaires must support the luminaires The fixing distance between centres is 3 m The required degree of protection is: >IP20

Simplified design guide

Check the voltage drop (DU)

The maximum permissible voltage drop in the final circuit is: b 3% for lighting circuits (KBA) b 5% for power distribution circuits (KNA and KSA).

b Lighting circuits
The graph below indicates, for an operational current (IB) of 20 A, the trunking and cable lengths ensuring a maximum voltage drop of 3%.

Example The 3% voltage drop is reached if, for trunking 20 metres long, a 1 x 4 mm2 supply cable is 26 metres long or a 1 x 2.5 mm2 supply cable is 14 metres long.

b Power distribution

For lengths less than 100 meters (50 m + 50 m), KNA and KSA ensure voltage drops of less than 5%.

Summary of performance characteristics

Canalis, a high-quality system
In Safety IP55 Reliability IK08 IPxxD Cost

Canalis is halogen free and does not release smoke or toxic gases.

A high degree of protection (IP55) means Canalis can be installed in all types of buildings.

Interlocking devices prevent mounting errors, ensuring total safety for maintenance personnel.

IK08 for high impact strength.

IPxxD for total safety of maintenance personnel.

Lower cost than a conventional installation by cutting mounting time in half.
