Busbar range receives expansion

An Eaton Corp product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Aug 16, 2007

The Mempower MP busbar trunking system is used extensively in residential blocks, hotels, department stores, hospitals, offices and industrial installations.

Eaton has extended its Mempower MP medium power busbar range with a new 800A rating.

This means that it is able to offer the 800A rating in either its air-insulated MP range or its 500-6300A Mempower XP low-impedance range.

The full Mempower range is described in a new 38-page product guide.

Mempower MP is a versatile, cost-effective busbar trunking system used extensively in residential blocks, hotels, department stores, hospitals, offices and industrial installations.

It is often used for vertical risers and offers tap-off units every 0.3m.

These include switch disconnectors, fuses, fuse combination switches, moulded-case circuit-breakers or miniature circuit-breakers.

The new 800A rating offers a competitively-priced option at this rating.

It is offered in four-bar and five-bar options.

The five-bar option provides an integral earth conductor which avoids the necessity to use the casing as an earth conductor.

Meanwhile Mempower XP is a low- impedance system for high power ratings.

It has a 40kA short time withstand rating.

A "sandwich" construction of conductors and solid insulation results in a compact, high-performance system with low heat loss.

The Mempower XP "velocity angle" dispenses with the need for a separate 90 degree angle joint and the radial velocity can be specified where an edge angle is required between 0 and 90 degrees.

"The new 800A MP rating enables us to offer a genuine choice between a competitively-priced air-insulated system at the top end of the medium-power range and a compact, high-performance system with a higher fault rating" says Steve Witham, Eaton's Product Manager for Busbar Trunking.
