Isolated Phase Bus

Generator Leads with current ratings from 6 kA up

F toor Main
50 kA, Isolated Phase Bus is the solution. Isolated Phase

Bus systems are used exclusively for Main Generator Leads

where minimal external electro-magnetic fields and
maximum phase to phase fault protection is required.
TECHNIBUS offers a complete line of Isolated Phase Bus
systems for those situations calling for high currents with
maximum integrity. TECHNIBUS can provide continuous
current ratings from 1,200A up to 50,000A with short circuit
ratings up to 900,000A.

Conductor

(A)

he conductor consists of high conductivity, conductor

T grade
aluminum.
Depending upon the diameter

required, extruded tubes or tubes rolled of plate metal are

used. The tubes shape permits exact calculation of current
displacement and heat dissipation as well as the short circuit
forces.
Aluminum expansion elements with welded
connections allow for thermal expansion of the conductor.
Maintenance is not required.

Enclosure (B)
nclosures are also made of high conductivity, conductor grade aluminum. The enclosures are
E manufactured
from rolled sheet or plate of variable diameters and wall thicknesses and are welded

together by using the inert-gas-shielded-arc process. The enclosure is self-supporting up to a length of

approximately 65 feet, allowing a free choice of the fixed points. Expansion joints in the form of
aluminum bellows provided at the terminations permit thermal expansion.

Post Insulators (C)

resin post insulators support the conductor and are arranged in the enclosure so as to ensure the
Cast
proper clearance in air between the conductor and earthed enclosure. A sliding surface provided
at the post insulator head permits relative movements between enclosure and conductor in an axial
direction. One insulator of each support system is equipped with an adjustable spring-type element for
compensating any variance in tube diameters during mounting as well as any conductor movements
caused by a short-circuit.
