A new generation of channelled
busbars
Linergy channelled busbars implement advanced
technology and are made of aluminium, a material
widely used for electrical conduction,.
Ductile and malleable, aluminium can be used to
create complex shapes that improve electrical
conduction, rigidity, ventilation and appearance.

Ergonomic shape
The low density of aluminium and its malleability make it possible to produce high-
tech sections offering both exceptional rigidity and minimum weight.
Twice as light as copper for the same current ratings, the busbars can held easily in
one. What is more, their shape is ideal for handling and installation.
Maximum power in less space
The manufacturing process allows great flexibility in terms of the shape, notably for
the creation of internal partitions that increase the current-flow perimeter. In this way,
busbar efficiency is optimised and external dimensions reduced.
As a result, up to 1600A, these channelled busbars can be installed in compartments
just 150 mm wide and 400 mm deep.
Very rigid shapes
The ease and flexibility of the extrusion process makes it possible to create closed
and ribbed sections offering exceptional rigidity.
Two supports spaced over the bars and one at the bottom are sufficient to cover most
installation needs (Icw
y
40 kA rms / 1 s).
Always at the right temperature
The increased heat exchange surface enhances the natural convection of the bars.
The bars are anodised to enhance emission and radiation, and thus the evacuation
of heat.
Whatever the switchboard configuration, the bars maintain their performance level.
