In other words, it is a type of electrical junction in which all the incoming and outgoing electrical current meets, Thus, the electrical bus bar collects the electric power at one location. The bus bar system consists the isolator and the circuit breaker. On the occurrence of a fault, the circuit breaker is tripped off and the faulty section of the busbar is easily disconnected from the circuit. The electrical bus bar is available in rectangular, cross-sectional, round and many other shapes. The rectangular bus bar is mostly used in the power system, The copper and aluminium are used for the manufacturing of the electrical bus bar. The most common of the bus-bars are 40x4mm (160 mm?); 40x5 mm (200 mm?) ; 50x6 mm (300mm?) ; 608 mm (480 mm?) ; 80x8 (640 mm?) and 100x10 mm (1000 mm).

The selection of the bus bar is depended on the different factor likes reliability, flexibility, cost etc. The following are the electrical considerations governing the selection of any one particular arrangement, v The bus bar arrangement is simple and easy in maintenance. v The maintenance of the system did not affect their continuity. v The installation of the bus bar is cheap. The small substation where continuity of the supply is not essential uses the single bus bar. But in a large substation, the additional busbar is used in the system so that the interruption does not occur in their supply. The different type of electrical busbar arrangement is shown in the figure below. Single Bus-Bar Arrangement The arrangement of such type of system is very simple and easy. The system has only one bus bar along with the switch. All the substation equipment like the transformer, generator, the feeder is connected to this bus bar only. The advantages of single bus bar arrangements are v It has low initial cost. v It requires less maintenance ¥ It is simple in operation [Link]-bus-bar-anc-is-ypes him! 2n6ro5r0%8 ‘what is Electrical Bus-Bar?- Defntion & Types of Electrical Bus Bar - Circuit Globe Circuit Breakers Isolators Bus-Bar Isolators Circuit Breakers Transformer Lad Circuit 21 Breakers f Single Bus-Bar Arrangement Isolators 7 eat” re 7 4 Outgoing Feeders Drawbacks of Single Bus-Bars Arrangement v The only disadvantage of such type of arrangement is that the complete supply is disturbed on the occurrence of the fault. v The arrangement provides the less flexibility and hence used in the small substation where continuity of supply is not essential. Single Bus-Bar Arrangement With Bus Sectionalized In this type of busbar arrangement, the circuit breaker and isolating switches are used. The isolator disconnects the faulty section of the busbar, hence protects the system from complete shutdown This type of arrangement uses one addition circuit breaker which does not much increase the cost of the system.

Disadvantages of Single Bus-Bar Arrangement with Sectionalization v The system uses the additional circuit breaker and isolator which increases the cost of the system. Main and Transfer Bus Arrangement Such type of arrangement uses two type of busbar namely, main busbar and the auxiliary bus bar. The busbar arrangement uses bus coupler which connects the isolating switches and circuit breaker to the busbar. The bus coupler is also used for transferring the load from one bus to another in case of overloading. The following are the steps of transferring the load from one bus to another. 1. The potential of both the bus bar kept same by closing the bus coupler. 2. The bus bar on which the load is transferred is kept close. 3. Open the main bus bar. Thus, the load is transferred from the main bus to reserve bus.

When the fault occurs on any of the buses the entire load is shifted to the another bus. v The repair and maintenance can easily be done on the busbar without disturbing their continuity. v The maintenance cost of the arrangement is less. v The potential of the bus is used for the operation of the relay. v The load can easily be shifted on any of the buses. Disadvantages of Main and Transfer Bus Arrangement v In such type of arrangements, two bus bars are used which increases the cost of the system. v The fault on any of the bus would cause the complete shutdown on the whole substation. Double Bus Double Breaker Arrangement This type of arrangement requires two bus bar and two circuit breakers. It does not require any additional equipment like bus coupler and switch.

Because the fault and maintenance would not disturb their continuity. v The continuity of the supply remains same because the load is transferrable from one bus to another on the occurrence of the fault. advantages of double bus Double breaker v In such type of arrangement two buses and two circuit breakers are used which increases the cost of the system. v Their maintenance cost is very high. Because of its higher cost, such type of bus-bars is seldom used in substations. Sectionalized Double Bus Bar Arrangement. In this type of bus arrangement, the sectionalized main bus bar is used along with the auxiliary bus bar. Any section of the busbar removes from the circuit for maintenance and it is connected to any of the auxiliary bus bars. But such type of arrangement increases the cost of the system. Sectionalization of the auxiliary bus bar is not required because it would increase the cost of the system.

Archana T November 9, 2017 at 7:35 am Reply Segregated Busduct is a metallic enclosure where all the three phases busbars are commonly enclosed. These phases are isolated by the help of the non-magnetic metal barriers. The construction of the non-segregated bus duct is similar to that of the segregated bus duct the only difference is that instead of metallic barriers it uses air as an insulator between the phases Madan March 8, 2018 at 11:59 pm Reply Nicely written JAMES J.
