BASIC CONCEPTS FOR
BUSBAR TRUNKING
SYSTEMS
Flexible
With the use of tap-off outlets situated on the straight lengths, the busbar trunking systems provide high levels of
flexibility both during the planning stage (in the engineering department) and during the installation of the system
(installer), and the inevitable modifications of the electrical system to meet the end-user’s changing needs.
Tap-off boxes can be inserted and removed from their tap-off outlet when the busbar is live and can be inserted in
another tap-off outlet, hence avoiding downtime.
The engineer in charge of designing the busbar trunking system does not necessarily need to know the exact position of
machines or the electric loads that will be installed in the building.
The designer’s plan will take into consideration the end-customer’s modifications and variations which will be determined
during the operation of the system. No more point-to-point connections but just one power distribution system where
power can be tapped-off wherever there is a free tap-off point.
Due to its flexible and long-lasting features, the installation of Zucchini’s busbar in a building allows easy modification
of its use within business premises, thus providing benefits even to those who manage and rent out different
parts of the building.
ZUCCHINI 2
Quick installation
Zucchini’s jointing systems have been made and designed to allow easy installation of busbar trunking systems.
When using a traditional cable system, the time needed to install only one cabletray is equal to the same time needed
to install a complete system in a busbar trunking system. Furthermore, given the same capacity, a power busbar trunking
system – which is generally provided with aluminium conductors – is much lighter than an equivalent one made with
cabletrays and (copper) cables: lighter weights require a lower number of supports or, at least simpler and less
expensive supports. This is why the time to install a busbar trunking system is obviously shorter than a similar
traditional cable installation.
Reduced dimensions
The overall dimensions of busbar trunking systems are generally smaller than an equivalent traditional cable
installation, especially when the currents to be carried exceed 1000A and when several cables in parallel are
required to ensure such ratings. Further advantages can be found in route changes, where cables have a
minimum bending radius to avoid damage to the insulation; the busbar trunking systems allow route changes
with 90° angles, thus maximising the use of the reduced spaces available within technical premises.
Easy to rate
The electrical rating of busbar trunking systems is carried out by Zucchini in compliance with the product Standards.
The rated current of Zucchini’s busbars is guaranteed for room temperatures at 40°C (the Standard requires 35°C).
After choosing the appropriate current requirements for the busbar, it is extremely easy to check the voltage drop as
well as the protection against overcurrents. To do so, use the technical charts available for all Zucchini product lines.
These charts basically specify: the short-circuit currents and the peak current withstand of the busbar while waiting for
the protection device to start operating upstream, the voltage drop of the average cosϕ of the loads, the losses as
well as a series of additional data (R, X, Rpe, etc.) which allow the designer to make calculations using the results
from tests carried out in accredited LOVAG laboratories for heat and short-circuit tests which have been used to certify
all of our ranges. With busbar trunking systems, the protection device is located close to the load (decentralised
protection); as a result, protection devices such as thermal magnetic circuit breakers, fusecarriers and motorised
switches can be housed in the tap-off boxes, thus allowing easy and effective management of the system.
Fail-safe behaviour
Due to its particular features, a busbar trunking system does not normally use great amounts of insulating plastic material
potentially dangerous material in case of fire. Moreover, plastic material used for the insulating parts of busbar trunking
systems are always of the self-extinguishing type (from V0 to V2) and generally have low smoke emission (Halogen
Free). Another advantage of the busbar trunking system is in its low electromagnetic emission compared to that of an
equivalent traditional cable installation: as a result, the steel casing of the busbar serves as a shield for the electric field
(shielded enclosure) and the sandwiching of the phase conductors considerably reduces the emission of the magnetic
component, too. The Italian law, 8/7/2003 DPCM (Prime Ministerial Decree), sets 10 µTs as the “target level” and a
maximum limit of 3 µT as the “quality level”. Tests carried out on one of Zucchini’s 2500A SCP busbars at full rated
current show that the emission of the magnetic field (magnetic induction) is lower than the “target level” specified in the
Decree when at a distance of 0.3 m, whereas the threshold considered as the “acceptable level” is set at a distance of
only 0.7 m from the busbar. These features make busbar trunking systems the unavoidable choice for hospital facilities,
data processing centres and wherever it is necessary to supply great amounts of power for workplaces.

BENEFITS
DYNAMOMETRIC MONOBLOC
Tighten the “dynamometric” bolt on the monobloc until the head
breaks to electrically connect the elements. Breaking the head of
the bolt guarantees long-term reliability and safety.
COVER PLATE
If the monobloc has not been tightened correctly, the head of the
dynamometric bolt will prevent the mechanical coupling from clo-
sing. The joint covers and the gaskets protect the element during
handling, and once installed, they guarantee mechanical rigidity
and the degree of protection.
“IP” PROTECTION
The MR busbar on edgewise position has a standard IP52 degree
of protection.
By simply adding covers to the tap-off outlets the degree of
protection of the run becomes IP55.
ZUCCHINI 68
BENEFITS
TYPES
The MR symbol indicates a busbar with 4 conductors with an
equal cross section (3L+N), and the casing acts as the protective
earth conductor (PE); the MRf (full) busbar has
5 conductors with an equal cross section (3L+N+PE). The MR and
MRf busbars are available with a galvanised sheet steel casing
and a version with a painted finish (RAL to be defined).
MR
even in considerably long systems. If the MR line is installed ver-
tically (rising main) there is no need to install a busbar thrust unit
because the new monobloc prevents the conductors from sliding.
MAXIMUM STRANGTH
The MR busbar has been designed and manufactured for heavy
industrial environments. The degree of impact-resistance of the
casing which houses the MR bus-line is the maximum stated in IEC
EN 60068-2-62: IK10.

CALCULATION OF CURRENT RATING
In order to determine the current rating certain planning data must be known in VOLTAGE DROP

In the case where the room temperature is other than 40 °C, the nominal rating of the busbar
must be adjusted as follows. ex: MR 400 Al
