Product Structure Features

Small in size, highly flexible.

The compact “sandwich” structure not only saves space but also boasts excellent voltage characteristics. Various functional units can be adapted to changes in both corner angles and heights, making them suitable for installation in any architectural space—such as mezzanines or along walls.

The conductor with a “sandwich” structure, combined with a fully enclosed housing, together form an integrated thermal propagation path, resulting in improved heat dissipation performance.

Safe and reliable plug-in box

The operating handle for the plug-in connection can be mounted on the door panel of the enclosure and is equipped with precise trip and close indicators.

The padlock mechanism is used to prevent the plug-in box from being accidentally closed and to block unauthorized access to the power grid.

The fuse-equipped junction box is equipped with a dedicated fuse-pulling tool.

The socket-molded cover prevents fingers from accidentally coming into contact with live conductors.

Internal grounding and enclosure grounding employ a plug-in connection. The pins feature a rationally designed structure and are silver-plated to ensure reliable contact in the system.

The internal connection mechanism of the plug-in box prevents the door from being opened when the power is on, further ensuring the personal safety of operators.

The all-aluminum housing, after being coated by spraying, can withstand a salt-spray test lasting 1,000 hours.

The all-aluminum enclosure boasts excellent corrosion resistance, heat dissipation performance, and electrical conductivity. The entire enclosure features 100% grounding capacity.

High-performance materials

Busbar systems use high-quality tin-plated or silver-plated copper or aluminum busbars as conductive materials, and the outer surfaces of these conductive bars are all equipped with excellent corrosion protection.

The busbar is entirely wrapped with Class B (130℃) thermally formed polyester film insulation, which significantly enhances the busbar's insulation strength and impact resistance.

It uses environmentally friendly insulation materials and has passed SGS’s six physical property tests required by ROHS, as well as CE certification.

Easy and quick connection

The conical insulating plate enhances mechanical strength, and the molded housing ensures that there is no warping under pressure.

Wide-flange manganese steel washers ensure even pressure distribution across the contact surface.

A standard #19 wrench is all you need to tighten the double-ended single bolt with the red indicator. When the indicator mark naturally falls off, no further action is required.

Any detection tool can determine whether the connector is securely fastened.

The bolts can be reused during maintenance.

To compensate for the impact of installation errors on the connection, the connector features an adjustable tolerance of ±4 mm along the length of the busbar.

The precision CNC sawing machine ensures a smooth cut surface of the busbar, minimizing contact resistance at the busbar connection points.

The wide lead-manganese steel washer ensures a reliable connection for the connector. The double-ended bolt, which eliminates the need for a torque wrench, maximizes connection efficiency and effectiveness.

Insertable Straight Segment

The plug-in busbar trunking system features flexible socket arrangements, with sockets available on both sides. A standard 3-meter section can accommodate up to four sockets on a single side. Users can reserve additional sockets based on specific requirements, allowing for easy reconfiguration when equipment loads are relocated or when expansion is needed in the future.

Each socket outlet is equipped with a socket base plate and a socket cover plate. The socket base plate prevents accidental contact of fingers with live conductors (IP2X), while the phase sequence of the conductors is clearly marked on the socket base plate. The socket cover plate helps prevent contamination of the conductive contact surfaces; when paired with gaskets, it can provide dustproof or moisture-proof capabilities. The standard lengths are 3000 mm or 4000 mm, with a minimum length of 1000 mm. The minimum dimension for L1—the distance from the center of the socket outlet to the standard end—is 400 mm, and the minimum dimension for L2—the distance between the centers of two adjacent socket outlets—is 610 mm.

Connector

The KLD-C busbar system employs a specialized connector equipped with dual-head torque-shear bolts. When the correct torque value is reached, the top bolt head will shear off, ensuring a tight and reliable connection at the joint.

For convenient connection, the connector provides an adjustment range of ±4 mm. The connecting cover plate prevents over-adjustment of the connector; the connector is allowed to make its maximum adjustment only when the connecting cover plate has been removed. The connector can be safely removed without interfering at all with adjacent busbar trunking systems, enabling maintenance of a specific section of busbar trunking or the removal of an entire section.

Double-head torque shear bolt

When the correct torque value is reached and the connector is tightened, the top bolt head will break off, causing the red tag to fall off immediately, thus facilitating inspection.

*The initial installation can be completed without a torque wrench.

*After the first nut falls off, the bolt can still be reused with the help of a torque wrench.

* The standard tightening torque is 68 N·m.
