1000A Lambar
showing the ability to
accommodate bends in small spaces
Lambar is a unique busbar trunking system,
offering neat, attractive distribution of power in commercial and industrial
applications. The system is easy to install, requiring no cable trays or
complicated terminations, and the strength of the construction over long
runs means that fewer fixings per metre are required than cable. The design
of the bend pieces and joining sections means that changes of direction can
be incorporated in a far smaller space than would be possible with cable of
a similar rating.
Lambar can be used in any distribution system
including both traditional horizontal power systems (typical in factories)
and rising main systems (as used in commercial buildings), or any
combination of the two. The system has been designed to be both reusable (it
can be taken down and re-installed at different sites in the event of
re-location) and extendable utilising standard components. Modifications to
the original scheme can be simply effected; any individual length can be
removed without disturbing the run of trunking and replaced with bends,
tee-offs etc.
Features of the
Lambar System
Reduced
installation costs
Due to the ease of installation and the strength of the
construction over long runs; fewer fixings per metre are required than cable
which leads to a significant reduction in installation times and invariably
costs.
Increased
voltage stability
In the manufacturing environment,
motors starting on an already loaded system, or with welders imposing peaks,
adverse disturbances can be caused to other equipment. In the commercial
environment, where the use of voltage sensitive IT equipment is common, the
stability of supply is a critical factor. In systems incorporating low
reactance trunking (1000A Lambar and above), the overall voltage regulation
of the transformer / feeder combination is better than with any other
system. Voltage drop is minimised even over long runs of trunking.
Temperature
withstand
In retail developments, large
manufacturing facilities and large office blocks, the evacuation of
personnel in the event of a fire is a serious issue. Lambar has been
designed to withstand temperatures of up to 250ºC for up to two hours
allowing ample opportunity for an orderly exit from the facility. Sectional
fire barriers are also available.
'Makeweight'
sections
Site conditions mean that accurate
measurement is often difficult, and installation exactly to drawing
specifications virtually impossible. The 'makeweight' sections, unique to
the Lambar system, are a range of adjustable lengths allowing variations to
be made up on site without the need for specially manufactured sections.
They represent the installer's comfort factor: small deviations from the
drawing can be taken up by adjusting the makeweight.
