BUSBARS
Busbars shall conform to BS 159 and shall be totally enclosed air insulated type. They
shall be made of high conductivity hard drawn copper bars shrouded with epoxy resin
or heat shrinkable material with high dielectric strength,
Except for those associated with the bus section panels, all busbars for circuit breaker
shall be of a standard unit length with provision for mounting on a panel basis at the
busbar orifice tee off connectors.
STATIONARY PORTION
The stationary cubicle portion of the switchgear equipment shall comprise a fabricated
steel structure with sheet steel cladding of rigid construction and shall withstand
repeatedly without distortion shocks caused by closing and opening impacts under all
conditions.
Each cubicle shall be fully compartmentalized into circuit breaker, busbar, cable, relay
and metering chambers. There shall be no vertical partitioning in the air insulated
busbar chamber. Each cubicle shall be fitted with a flap to relieve any pressure which
might build up due to an internal fault. The fixed isolating contacts shall be insulated
and shrouded by resin moldings. Provision shall be made at the rear of the panel to
run a continuous earth bar to earth frames of all panels of a switchboard
SAFETY SHUTTERS
Main plugging contact apertures shall be fitted with fully automatic metal safety shutters
arranged to close the apertures and access to live parts when the circuit breaker is
withdrawn and to open when the circuit breaker is being plugged in. The shutters shall
form reasonably dust, drip, fire and insect proof covers over the apertures and shall be
arranged in two sets, one to cover the busbar spout apertures and the other to cover
the circuit spout apertures, normally opening and closing simultaneously. Means shall
be provided to uncouple each set from the mechanism and to lock in the closed position
with padlocks, The safety shutters shall be so designed as to facilitate the insertion of
test plugs, when necessary.
Busbar and circuit shutters shall be indicated and boldly labelled 'BUSBAR' and
CABLE’ respectively.
