Types of Busducts and Use of Switchgear in Electrical Networks

1. Types of Busducts and Use of Switchgear in Electrical Networks The use of bus ducts helps improve the efficiency of the electrical network system. You have bus ducts of different materials and types. The bus ducts ensure continuity of power supply. In construction, it is a copper or aluminum sheet with busbars and provides a reliable link for transferring power. This occurs between the equipment at the desired voltage level. Design of segregated Bus Duct In the segregated phase bus duct, the busbars of all three phases remain enclosed within the same enclosure. The actual design depends on the ​Bus duct manufacturer​​. All the busbars have a nonconductive wrapping such as plastic or electric tape. The phases remain segregated by non-magnetic metal barriers. At the point of connection, the busbars will flare out. This is to ensure that they can connect to the next segment. The support for the busbars is high creep porcelain. They find use as an interconnection between transformers and switchgear or between the switchgear. It may also connect a small generator and a transformer. Non-segregated Bus Duct design The non-segregated bus duct is like the segregated bus duct but there is no separation between the phases. Due to this the construction is more compact and need much lesser electrical clearance. Like the segregated, these serve as an interconnection between switchgear, switchgear and transformers, and between transformers generators. The plug-in bus duct system might use switches for disconnection. A common instance is the distribution bus duct used in a long building. The design of the busway allows the devices that include and low voltage

At the other end of the scale, you might need to isolate electrical equipment to repair or work on them. To do this, one uses a combination of switchgear. This is a combination of circuit breakers and disconnects switches. By de-energizing the equipment, you can clear the faults downstream. Before, they did this through the use of simple open knife switches. The insulating panels were of asbestos or marble. When the power and voltage levels increased, such a situation proves dangerous. The modern-day equipment is oil-filled to contain the arc energy. Today we use air-filled or vacuum equipment. Another substance in common use is SF₆ because it gives good safety. Large currents and huge power can flow safely through the equipment that does not need any human intervention. You can get the details from the ​Switchgear manufacturer​​​website. Parts of the Switchgear You have two types of components in the switchgear. The first is the power conducting components. The second is the control equipment. The former group has the switches, fuses, circuit breakers, and anything that helps to regulate the flow of the electric current. The second group has the current transformers, control panels, protective relays, and circuitry for protection and control. The basic idea of using the switchgear is to protect the person. So, you can interrupt the flow to affected circuits with the switchgear. The flow of power to the unaffected circuits continue unabated. You may also enhance availability using the switchgear.
