Legrand’s range of Zucchini busbars, which forms part of the company’s complete power distribution system, incorporates inherent flexibility to allow easy adaptation to layout modifications or expansion of existing installation environments. Legrand’s total system solution allows for integration between the company’s busbar trunking systems, cast resin transformers and XL³ cabinets.
Legrand’s EdM cast resin transformers are custom made to exact specifications with a pre-installed interface connection for Zucchini busbar trunking systems. XL³ cabinet assemblies have been tested together with these busbars to provide a guarantee of a certified system that meets stringent quality and safety specifications. The busbars also undergo rigorous short circuit tests to ensure a safe, reliable system in any environment.
Legrand’s power solution encompasses power supply stations, transformer to main panel-board connections and main panel-board to secondary boards. Aluminium or copper busbars and cast resin transformers are equipped with various accessories to provide versatility for any type of power application and in any environment, including areas which are subjected to high thermal stress. This system is also suitable for environments where there is equipment sensitive to electromagnetic interferences and in the presence of a large number of people. Legrand’s certified low emission (CLE) cast resin transformers can be installed with high-power busbars to minimise electromagnetic emissions.
The connections of the busbar line elements have reliable mechanical interlocks for easy installation. This design eliminates errors and prevents potential dangers which can occur with conventional systems when starting up the system.
