In cases where it is beyond the type tested arrangements, the Electrodynamic Force Calculation for Short Circuit Current becomes
the valid alternative for simulation of the type tested busbar system.
The size and material properties of both the copper busbars and the busbar supports, the distance between phases, the bolts and
studs used to secure the system, the torque used in tightening, the positioning of the busbar supports, the spacing between
supports, all of these will become essential factors in the simulation of the tested busbar system.
To simplify the procedure please do consult with Fibon’s technicians or the Fibon Guide or Fibon Electrodynamic Force Calculation
software for proper recommendation on the installation of the busbar supports. Every case can be assessed individually.

Beyond Type Tested Arrangement
In cases where it is beyond the type tested arrangements, the Electrodynamic Force Calculation for Short Circuit Current becomes
the valid alternative for simulation of the type tested busbar system.
The size and material properties of both the copper busbars and the busbar supports, the distance between phases, the bolts and
studs used to secure the system, the torque used in tightening, the positioning of the busbar supports, the spacing between
supports, all of these will become essential factors in the simulation of the tested busbar system.
To simplify the procedure please do consult with Fibon’s technicians or the Fibon Guide or Fibon Electrodynamic Force Calculation
software for proper recommendation on the installation of the busbar supports. Every case can be assessed individually.
The distances shown in the below table are the spacing between two sets of adjacent fixed supports. If the spacing is more than
700mm, it is recommended to have another set of floating supports to be installed in between the two sets of fixed supports.
Subsequently, the spacing between this set of floating supports and either of the fixed supports should be at least 300mm.

According to IEC 61439-1, CEI 61439-1 : 2009-01, the basic insulation material shall be made of suitable materials capable of
durably withstanding the mechanical, electrical and thermal stresses to which the insulation may be subjected in service. Paints,
varnishes and lacquers alone are not considered to satisfy the requirements for basic insulation.

Technical Data Sheet
Insulation Tube
Fibon Insulation Tube is an insulation sleeve that provides electrical and chemical insulation to the stud. Besides, the insulation
tube also as a guide to ensure all bolts & studs are tightened evenly during fixing of the busbar supports.
The length of the insulation tube shall be in such length that it shall not be shorter than the distance between the bases of the two
opposing counterbores by more than 0.5mm. It is to ensure that the busbar supports will not be lopsided during tightening.
If no insulation tube is being used or the tube is of incorrect length, the busbar support may get lopsided during tightening. It will
result in lever and fulcrum effects, amplifying the force and cause extreme stress at the fulcrum (pivot point). This extreme stress
will cause the busbar support to break at the fulcrum.
