Presentation
Pre-assembled panel busbar system AK5
The assembly of automated control and distribution panels requires the use of
products that are not only safe but also simple and quick to mount and cable.
The AK5 pre-assembled busbar system meets all these criteria by incorporating
prefabricated components which cater for 3 principal functions:
Carrying of electric current
By the pre-assembled 4-pole busbar system 1, 160 A at 35 C.
4-pole busbar systems can be used for 3-phase + Neutral or 3-phase + Common.
The busbar systems are available in 6 lengths: 344, 452, 560, 668, 992, 1100 mm.
An incoming supply terminal block 2 is located at the extreme left of the busbar
system.
"Knock-out" partitions allow connection of the power supply from above or below to
connectors 3 which are protected by a removable cover 4.
Upstream protection of the busbar system is shown on page 1/206.
Current distribution
Tap-off units 5 (factory assembled) are available in 4 versions:
b 2-pole,
b 3-pole,
b 4-pole (3-phase + Neutral),
b 4-pole (3-phase + Common).
The tap-offs clip onto the busbar system with instantaneous mechanical and
electrical connection to the busbars.
2 ratings are available: 16 and 32 A.
The tap-off units ensure not only rapid mounting, but also a neat appearance for the
power distribution system and complete safety when accessing under live circuit
conditions.
Component mounting
Component mounting plates with incorporated tap-off allow mounting of and supply
of power to components.
They are available in 25 A or 50 A ratings.
These mounting plates clip onto the mounting rail 11, which also supports the busbar
system, and at the same time make electrical connection via the incorporated
tap-off.
2 types of mounting plate are available:
b single plates 6 (height 105 mm), with bolt-on 35 mm wide 7 rail 7, which may be
bolted on in one of two positions, allowing height adjustment of 10 mm.
b double plates 8 and 14 (height 190 mm), with two bolt-on, 35 mm wide 7 rails 9
mounted on 100 mm fixing centres; each rail may be bolted on in one of 4 positions,
allowing height adjustment in 10 mm steps. These plates are supplied with
connectors 12 to allow wiring between control and protection devices.
Single mounting plates enable the following types of distribution:
b 2-pole (Ph + N) and (Ph + Ph)
b 3-pole,
b 4-pole (3 Ph + N or 3 Ph + common).
Double mounting plates enable the following types of distribution: 2-pole (Ph + N,
Ph + Ph), 3-pole or 4-pole (3Ph+N and 3Ph + common).
Extension plates 10 can be bolted onto single and double mounting plates to enable
mounting of wider components. Using a side stop 15 in conjunction with these
extension plates also supports the AK5 JB busbar system when used vertically.
A control terminal block 13 comprising a support plate bolted onto the single or
double mounting plates and a 10-pole plug-in block, enables connection of the
control circuit wires (c.s.a. 1.5 mm2 max).
