The most convenient way to distribute secure electricity from UPS system to the cabinets is to use busbars, which are quick to install and allow for easy changes in power distribution without the need for extensive new cabling and installation work. The busbar system also allows you to bring measurement and monitoring to the pantographs as well as to the feeder unit.
The Starline busbar system was originally designed for Data Centers and its open channel allows flexible positioning of the tap off units during their life cycle. The unique connection mechanism allows true “Plug and Play” operation with the tap off units.
The busbars are available in several sizes, ranging from 160A to 1200A, with two different architectures. Same tap off units can be connected to different capacity busbars of the same architecture, i.e., they can be moved even from a 250A to a 400A or 800A busbar.
The tap off units are the part of the system that particularly enables customization and long life cycle with a wide range of options. We have implemented dozens of different tap off units to meet our customers’ needs.
The busbars are also suitable for Direct Current distribution at different voltages, for example 48V, or 350V to 400V. In fact, two DC distributions can be made on one 5-conductor busbar, which increases the capacity of the busbar for DC distribution. The old bar can therefore be used in the future, all that is needed is the right tap off units for DC distribution.
