Sandwich Construction
I-Line feeder and plug-in busway both utilize sandwich-type construction to provide superior voltage drop characteristics, even at low power factors. Steel housing sides and aluminum tops and bottoms have been carefully designed to reduce component weight and minimize the hysteresis and eddy current losses that are common in steel housings. Plug-in busway ratings that utilize two or three bus bars per phase have a phase paralleling feature at the joint assembly of each straight length. This helps equalize bus bar loading when plugs are mounted on one side only. The plug-in housing has notches along the top rail for easy alignment and installation of plug-in units. Within the same ampere rating, all I-Line II busway lengths and fittings are fully compatible between feeder and plug-in styles using standard universal tie channels (housing splice plates) supplied with each component.
Totally-Enclosed Housing
Ventilated busway depends on free air movement through a perforated housing to cool the bus bars. Unless mounted in its preferred position (for maximum bus bar cooling), ventilated busway must be derated. Ventilated housing also permits dirt accumulation and offers limited protection of bus bars due to open ventilating slots in the housing.
Ventilated Housing
Compact Size
I-Line II busway is compact. The small size means it can be used in locations where feeder circuits would not otherwise be possible. Efficient use of light-weight raw materials is an additional factor in I-Line busways compact design.
Finish
I-Line busway users get a tough, durable uniform polyester powder coat paint finish, making their busway installations functional and attractive for years to come.
Insulation
All bus bars are insulated using Class B rated, 266 F (130 C) vendor certified, materials to prolong insulation life. I-Line busway insulation consists of two layers of heat-formed polyester film surrounding each bus bar. On plug-in busway lengths, all insulation is notched at the openings to allow plug-in unit mounting. I-Line II busway uses the same two layers of polyester film to insulate the bus bars in indoor busway while outdoor busway utilizes powder-coated epoxy insulation for the bus bars. Both types of insulation offer high quality dielectric strength and long life expectancy.
Plating
Bus bars for I-Line and I-Line II busway are plated to ensure low surface-to-surface contact resistance and to minimize surface corrosion. Aluminum bus bars are electroplated with a coat of tin after preparation with the ALSTAN 80 process. Copper bus bars are plated with a layer of silver that is flashed onto the surface of the bus bars.
Dielectric Testing
Underwriters Laboratories (UL) and the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) require a one-time dielectric test for all new busway designs prior to certification. This test, at two times rated voltage plus 1000 Vac (2200 Vac), is intended to confirm the integrity of the insulation system. I-Line busway passes this test. Every length and fitting of our busway must also pass a 7500 Vdc hi-pot test before shipment from the factory. This additional test helps ensure the highest quality busway possible.
Visi-Tite Bolt
Labor Savings
I-Line II busway installs quicker than other forms of low voltage power distribution. Also, the labor required to install I-Line II busway is often much lower. This results in an overall reduction in total installation cost.
Tie Channels
Total Installation Cost Labor Labor
I-Line II busway uses one set of universal tie channels for all ampere ratings of buswayboth feeder and plug-in. This helps speed up busway installation.
Continuous air spaces inside I-Line II busway housing are closed off with special barriers to help prevent the spread of smoke and gases in the event of a fire in the area of the busway installation. This standard internal barrier allows busway to extend through walls or floors without creating open space for a chimney effect fire path. I-Line busway from 225600 A requires installation of a special internal barrier for wall or floor penetrations.
I-Line Busway
Voltage Drop
I-Line busway voltage drop is low because of its extremely low reactance. This efficient design allows power to be delivered in an installation with the highest efficiency possible. This makes I-Line busway ideal for efficient power distribution in commercial or industrial facilities.
Outdoor Busway
Outdoor feeder busway is furnished with a housing construction employing a special gasketed design to prevent the entry of rain. Unique engineering and design features allow field installation in any mounting position while still maintaining outdoor integrity. This product symmetry provides for proper installation in all instances. The Visi-Tite bolt is also standard on outdoor busway.
Universal Fittings
I-Line II busway fittings are designed for use with feeder and plug-in busway straight lengths as well as for continuations of service entrance busway runs. The compact universal fittings allow maximum layout flexibility without the need for special built-to-order combination fittings.

Figure 6:
If the flatwise busway elevation is too low to allow a cable connection that would comply with the electrical code, the vertical service head (SV) could solve this issue. The SV is attached to busway that exits the rear of the switchboard (see Figure 6) and is turned upward or is attached to busway that exits the top of a switchboard and penetrates the roof utilizing a drip flange and roof collar (see Figure 7 on page 24). If a vertical service head extends through a roof, the roof must be sealed around the busway. To do this, a fixed collar must be factory assembled onto the section of busway that penetrates the roof. The contractor can then flash from the collar to the roof. A roof flange kit can be ordered from the factory to make the flashing job easier. The kit consists of a drip flange and a roof collar. When installed, the roof collar must be sealed to ensure that no moisture gets indoors. The roof flange kit will accommodate a roof slope up to one inch per foot. See Detail A in Figure 7 on page 24.

Transformer Taps
A transformer tap performs the same function as a service head, except that the lugs and bussing that the service entrance cables are connected are not enclosed in a weather-proof enclosure. A flatwise service head (SB) with the box removed is therefore a transformer tap (SF). An SF is a transformer tap for one three-phase transformer. Figure 8 illustrates a typical SF service entrance run. If three single-phase transformers are supplied by the utility to deliver power to the customer, a separate transformer tap has been designed for this application. This transformer tap is known as a TTF and is shown in Figure 9.
Phasing
With bussed transformer connections, it is necessary to properly coordinate the phasing of the transformer and of the switchboard it supplies. Schneider Electric can coordinate the phasing for you. Simply supply the name of the transformer manufacturer and phasing details of the low voltage side.

Phasing
A typical I-Line II plug-in run is shown in Figure 12 on page 27. The phasing shown on the plug-in busway is GABCN top to bottom, with the top located as shown for a horizontal run. This phasing arrangement must always be followed so that proper phasing of the plug-in units is ensured (see Detail A). Because this busway phasing must be followed, it is the busway that will determine the phasing of the switchboard. NOTE: Plug-in busway has the integral ground bus plug-in jaw on the top side only.
Identification
When submitting busway run sketches for review, ensure that the plug-in busway sections are marked (P).

Plug-In Risers
I-Line II plug-in busway can be utilized for the entire vertical riser. There is no need to use feeder busway to penetrate the floors. This feature enables the use of more plug-in openings per floor of the riser. (Plug-in risers under 800 A require internal barriers where the busway passes through a floor.)
Dimensions
The riser in Figure 14 has been fully dimensioned. Note that the feeder style busway has been used out of the switchboard and the two 120-inch (3048 mm) sections of plug-in style busway on the second and third floor do not have a joint located in or near the floor. Refer to page 30 for a discussion and detail of joint accessibility requirements. Figure 13 shows typical dimensions that are known to ensure an accurate installation: floor-to-floor height, floor thickness, exact layout of multiple run riser, closet dimensions, the type and quantity of plug-in tap units per floor, which side of the busway the units should mount on, and (if necessary) the desired height of the units from the floor.

Circuit breaker type 400 A and below and the 30 A, 60 A, and 100 A fusible type plug-in units can be mounted on either side of the busway in riser installations. When fusible type plug-in units are being supplied, the location of the plug-in unit determines the phasing of the busway. NEC Article 404.6 and CEC Article 14.502 state: Single throw knife switches shall be mounted so that gravity will not tend to close them. It is essential that the busway is oriented with the correct side available for the insertion of the units. To determine the correct busway orientation (based on where the plug-in units mount for your installation), please contact your local representative for assistance and coordination. Figure 15 shows the correct mounting and phasing of the riser busway and plug-in unit. NOTE: It is imperative that the face labelled TOP is installed as shown on the installation drawings provided with your project.

Figure 16:
Once busway is installed through a floor opening, the remaining unused area must be filled to prevent smoke from passing floor-to-floor (chimney effect) in case of fire in the building. Some recommended materials available are fire rated foam and caulk. Grouting is also acceptable, but must be applied in a very dry form to prevent water and contaminants from entering the busway once the grouting cures and the water leeches out. Check with your local inspector to determine the appropriate materials to use in filling the void around the busway.
Plug-In Units
When entering an order, the factory must know not only which side of the busway the plugs will mount on, but also the type and quantity of plugs to use on each floor. Also, notify the factory if the plugs need to be mounted at a certain height from the floor.
Hangers
Spring hangers are recommended for riser applications. When properly installed and maintained, spring hangers compensate for expansion and contraction of the busway, as well as shrinkage of the building. In riser applications, support for busway must be provided at intervals not exceeding 16 ft (488 cm).
Feeder Runs
Feeder type runs are normally used for distributing power to loads that are concentrated in one area. Typical connections are switchboard-to-switchboard tie runs (see Figure 17), or a switchboard feeding a remote motor control center (MCC).

Special Paint
I-Line busway can be provided in colors other than ANSI 49 gray for an additional fee. The special color requested should be specified by an ANSI color code at the time of order entry. With typically lengthened lead times for special color parts, it is imperative to provide this information as early as possible in the order process so delivery commitments can be met.
The qualified busway equipment must be installed, anchored, and restrained in accordance with Schneider Electric installation guidelines. For the purpose of seismic restraint design, the center of gravity is centrally located for all outside linear dimensions for each section or device (as listed along with their respective weights). Anchorage of equipment to the primary building structure is required to validate seismic certification of the equipment. The structural engineer or design engineer of record is responsible for design of the code compliant seismic restraint system for the building equipment. Schneider Electric is not responsible for the specification and performance of seismic restraint and anchorage systems.

Quick flanges and closing plates are typically shipped with the switchboard/switchgear. The quick flange closing plate closes the gap between the busway and the top of the gear. If a separate quick flange or closing plate kit is needed, the catalog numbers can be created by adding the suffix "QF" or "CP" respectively to the prefix of the busway being installed. For example: AF2530GQF or CF2312GCP. NOTE: Refer to Detail of Phase Bussing Connections in a Switchboard on page 69.

NOTES: Box can be moved to opposite end in field (Vertical Only). 20.2-inch (513 mm) clearance required from C L of busway, for mounting bolt-on tap boxes when box is on top; and 10.0-inch (254 mm) required mounting clearance when box is on the bottom. Add H on the end of the catalog number for units that will be horizontally-mounted busway and V for units that will be vertically-mounted busway. These mounting frames are NOT interchangeable. Can be used only on plug-in busway with the same number of poles (e.g., do not use 3-pole units on 34W busway or 34W units on 3-pole busway.) Cannot be mounted in the last opening on either side of a busway run. Cannot be used on 800 A Copper I-Line II busway.

NOTE: Special purpose plug-in devices are not defined by this catalog numbering system. Consult the factory for cataloging details of these devices.
Compatibility
All plug-in units in this catalog can be used on original I-Line as well as I-Line II busway. There is no need to stock two different types of units.
Bracket allows unit to be padlocked in off position Hook stick operated mechanism Hinged door over switch
Fusible Unit
Fusible
Plug-in switches that are 30, 60, 100, 200, 400, and 600 A contain a heavy-duty safety switch mechanism. Switches that are 8001600 A contain a circuit breaker and fuses.
Circuit Breakers
Molded case circuit breaker plug-in devices are available in frame sizes of 100 A (FA)1600 A (RG) with standard, high-interrupting, current-limiting, and solid-state trip circuit breakers. The operating handle gives visual indication of tripped status for all devices as well as floor operable reset on all devices. The FA frame circuit breaker unit is a high-interrupting capacity breaker that would fit into the same enclosure as the standard molded case breaker shown below. The mounting and the interlock are identical to the fusible unit shown above. The short circuit ratings for circuit breaker devices are listed on page 96.
Interlock
Plug-in devices rated for 30 250 A are interlocked with the busway housing to prevent installation or removal of the unit when the disconnect is turned ON. All devices incorporate an interlock to prevent the door over the disconnect from being opened when the unit is ON. This door interlock can be defeated from outside the unit.
Grounding
All plug-in units come with standard grounding means. A grounding spring cuts through the busway paint and forms an electrical ground continuity. An equipment ground is established before the phase jaws make contact with the bus bars by means of a grounding stab, which then makes contact with two ground jaws on the busway. A ground lug on the inside of the plug-in unit is provided for the purpose of attaching a ground wire.

Horizontal only. This dimension is 14 in. (356 mm) for vertical applications.
Vertical Mounting
Fusible Units
Fusible switch plug-in units (30100 A) mount on either side of the vertical busway and comply with NEC Article 404.6 and CEC Article 14.502 concerning gravity tending to close a switch blade. With unit mounted on one side of the busway, the operating handle is on top and when mounted on the opposite side; the handle is on the bottom. The 200 A fusible unit (PS) mounts only on the front of the busway. (TOP sticker on the busway is on the right.) The operating handle is on the right side of the mounted unit. The 4001600 A fusible units mount only on the front of the busway. The handle is on the cover. NOTE: Orientation of the busway is essential for proper mounting of plug-in units. The busway must be positioned so that the top marking is to the right and the neutral position is to the left.

Wiring Diagram
NOTE: The ground detector and neutralizer plug-in unit consists of a disconnect, a high resistance connection from each phase-to-ground, and neon indicating lights wired in parallel with the resistors. The resistors provide a discharge path for high transient voltages that can be impressed temporarily on the busway system. The neon indicating lights provide visual indication of grounds in a 33W ungrounded system. Operation of the lights is such that under normal conditions all three lights glow dimly under half voltage. If one phase goes to ground, the indicating light associated with that phase goes out while the other two assume full brilliance under full voltage conditions.

Power-Zone bus design and construction is in strict accordance with ANSI Standard C37.23. It can be supplied with full, round edge 98% IACS copper or 57% IACS aluminum bars. Copper contact surfaces are silver-plated. Aluminum contact surfaces are tin-plated. All aluminum electrical connections are fitted with conical washers to maintain a constant contact pressure. Standard hardware for conductor joints is plated steel for bare connections not exposed to weather or insulated connections where the bus rating does not exceed 5000 A. Hardware is stainless steel for bare connections exposed to weather and all connections where the bus ratings exceeds 5000 A. With the exception of 600 V class, which is normally uninsulated, the bus conductors are insulated with a flame-retardant, non-hygroscopic, high dielectric strength fluidized bed epoxy insulation rated 266 F (130 C). The 5000 V and 15000 V busway joints are insulated with removable insulating boots, while the 38,000 V busway joints are taped. The 5 kV and the 15 kV bus conductors are mounted and secured against short circuit forces in molded, track resistant, flame-retardant, non-hygroscopic support blocks of glass-reinforced polyester. The UL molded support insulators are ribbed to maximize both tracking distance and mechanical strength. They are spaced as appropriate to maintain the required short circuit strength of the bus. Semi-conducting silicone rubber corona suppression inserts are used between the conductor and support blocks. Porcelain is optional for 5 kV and 15 kV and is standard for 38 kV. The 600 V supports are glass-reinforced polyester. The bus conductors are completely enclosed in a grounded metal housing for the protection of both personnel and property. The housings are fabricated from painted aluminum, steel, or stainless steel. Aluminum housings are standard and are recommended for current ratings above 2000 A due to the effects of hysteresis associated with ferrous, magnetic housing materials, such as steel. On outdoor applications, bottom covers are equipped with screened breathers to eliminate the accumulation of moisture within the housing. In addition, manually or themostatically controlled electric strip heaters are provided to aid condensation control. To complete the system, a line of steel structural supports is also available for both indoor and outdoor applications.

Power-Zone bus is custom designed, manufactured, and tested per ANSI Standard C37.23 to meet customer specifications. It is a completely coordinated package of equipment with all the auxiliary material and supports for connecting transformers, switchgear, MCCs, and motors in all types of utility, industrial, and commercial facilities. Transformer Connection This type of termination should be used whenever the bus is connecting to a transformer, motor, switch, or any connection where the bus bars are connecting to porcelain-mounted equipment terminals. It will include the same components as a flanged end plus one set of flexible braid-type connectors and a terminal box (if required.) Generator Connection All "Transformer Connection" information above applies to general connection with the addition that enclosure bellows should be included when the busway attaches to a generator. Bushing Box (Weatherhead) A bushing box is used on a service entrance run where the cable connection to the bus must be made via porcelain bushings. It is comprised of the same components as a transformer connection plus three-through stud-type apparatus bushings, bushing stud connectors (lug pads), and a strip heater. Ground Bus The bus housing is designed and constructed to provide an electrically continuous ground path. The side rails of the bus housings are capable of carrying the full-rated phase current continuously and, under short circuit conditions, are capable of carrying fault current for three (3) seconds. Consequently, a separate ground bus is not necessary unless specified. Wall Entrance Seal A wall entrance seal consists of an external wall frame and a vapor barrier that prevents air or vapor from passing from one room to another or from outdoors to indoors. One-, two-, and three-hour fire ratings are optional. Equipment Entrance Seal An equipment entrance seal should be used whenever a barrier is required to prevent the passing of flame and or gasses between the bus housing and the terminating equipment. Expansion Fittings An expansion fitting is used to counteract the strain placed on the bus due to the expansion and contraction of the building or the bus itself. One should be used whenever the bus run crosses a building expansion joint and whenever a straight run of bus exceeds 80 feet (2438 cm).
