The Zenith Series DPB Bus System Busway assembly is comprised of three major elements

Anodized Aluminum Housing

• protects the assembly

• improves thermal properties,

• Incorporates TOUGHRAIL technology allowing optimized support methods, site specific labeling and system communication links

Bus Bars • vary in cross-sectional area depending on

ampacity

• nickel-plated to resist corrosion and minimize contact resistance

• 99% pure electrical grade copper.

Insulators • Class B 148° C material

• enhanced short circuit capability

• insulating capacity of up to 1000 volts

Series DPB Bus Rail Technology

Housing – common housing, 160 - 800 Amps

Top channel - bus rail hanger / mounting and grounding plate

Side channel – integrated custom labeling, side mount support

Integrated communication channel monitor all loads / devices

True IP2X-rated bus rail channel opening finger safe!

Isolated ground channel (optional) integrated channel design

Datacenter A/B Exterior Color Coding standard is black ; red & blue option

Series DPB Bus Rail Technology

Robust, Configurable, Multi-Purpose Housing Assembly

• Improved Bus Rail Coupler is 50% less size, and doubled the number of contact points. Minimizes resistance and voltage drop.

• Tested for 60degr C ambient (200-400A)

• Compact design minimizes “Keep Out Area”, so more TapOff Boxes can be installed on the rails

• No special tools required for installation

• Supports BCMS communication cable for secure use of installation & maintenance

Series DPB Bus Rail Coupler Technology

3.75” Industry Leading Keep Out Area

Two Step Process insures Safety and Electrical Integrity

STEP 1: Mechanical Connection • All grounding connections engage &

seat directly to the open bus channel.

• Top Mast connects mechanically to the bus rails. Set screws then insure alignment to rails. Rail design prevents backwards installation.

STEP 2: Electrical Connection • Once Top Mast is mechanically

secured, the cam action lever seats all electrical contacts against the phase bussing. Once energized, it locks down into position. At this point, the circuit breakers can be safely energized.
