Hoffman 60-mm Busbar Systems

By Design World Staff | May 20, 2008



Anoka, MN–Hoffman announces that it now offers the 60-mm Busbar System by Wöhner. The 60-mm Busbar System is UL508, CSA and CE recognized and designed to safely distribute power throughout a panel while conserving valuable panel space.

The 60-mm Busbar Systems Hoffman now offers are rigid and modular, and they can distribute currents of over 1600 amps at 690V. The busbars can be cut to the desired length to adapt to most enclosures, and they can be positioned vertically or horizontally to optimize space. Plus, innovative input and output terminals accommodate wire sizes to 600MCM and do not require drilling or tapping.


Applications
. 60-mm Busbar Systems provide simple to modify, direct mounting solutions for a wide range of manufacturers and industries, including:

    * Automotive applications
    * Wastewater operations
    * Material handling
    * Packaging OEMs
    * Food and beverage
    * Industrial ovens and industrial heating
    * Fluid transfer
    * Parts assembly


In addition, several features of 60-mm Busbar Systems make them particularly effective and convenient to use:

    * Components cover power distribution and circuit protection
    * Meets UL508A, CSA and CE standards
    * Busbars are touch-safe rated to IP20
    * Simple design eases planning, project design and installation
    * Components and both incoming and outgoing connections mount directly to the busbar
    system to save space and simplify modifications
    * Busbars are cut to specified lengths to adapt to most enclosures and can be positioned
    vertically or horizontally
    * Minimizes the number of connections, and all live parts are insulated to reduce arc flash
    danger
    * Distributes high currents of over 1600 amps at 690V
    * Establishes an electrical connection and mechanically fastens in one step for reduced
    installation time
    * Type tested, high-quality components are kept in stock at Hoffman to ensure system
    availability
    * Custom-bent flexible busbars available, and drilled or tapped holes can be specified for both
    rigid and flexible busbars
