Prefabricated connections
The insulated flexible bars are tested in a type-tested switchboard environment.
Their design takes into account the switchboard architecture where they are often in
close proximity to a protection device (circuit breaker or fuse) with significant heat
losses.
The sizes for the flexible bars indicated below take into account the heat losses of
Schneider Electric devices in a Prisma switchboard.

Connection between device busbar
The flexible bars are determined taking into account the connected device, whatever
the internal temperature of the switchboard.
The bar sizes indicated below take into account the derating curves of devices.

To connect a Compact NSX250 to Linergy BW busbars, use a 24 x 5 mm flexible bar (04746).
Note:
the references 87646 (3P) and 87647 (4P) can be used up to 250 A, when binding of
insulated flexible bars, to withstand Isc.
Connection between busbars
Flexible bars are designed for connections between busbars taking into account
the following characteristics:
b
b
a maximum temperature of 60 °C inside the switchboard. This corresponds to the
average temperature inside a switchboard for an ambient temperature of 35 °C
b
b
the maximum withstand temperature for the insulating material is 125 °C.
