Mns switchgear busbar compartment height dimensions

Page Content

The busbar compartment in ABB MNS R switchgear is centrally located and its height is determined by the modular panel dimensions, typically ranging from 1025 mm to 1600 mm overall, with internal divisions adjustable in 25 mm increments.

Busbar Compartment Location and Configuration

In the MNS R switchgear, the busbar compartment is positioned in the middle section of the panel, segregated from the circuit-breaker and cable compartments for safety and accessibility . Main busbars can be installed at the top, center, or bottom of the panel depending on the design, while distribution busbars are vertically arranged to feed outgoing circuit-breakers . The compartment supports 1, 2, or 3 busbars per phase, with currents up to 6300 A for main busbars and 4000 A for distribution busbars .

Panel and Compartment Dimensions

The overall panel heights for MNS R switchgear are typically 1025 mm, 1200 mm, 1400 mm, or 1600 mm, with widths ranging from 300 mm to 1200 mm and depths from 200 mm to 600 mm . The busbar compartment height is a portion of the total panel height and can be adjusted in modular increments of 25 mm (1E), allowing flexibility to accommodate different busbar arrangements and operational requirements .

Segregation and Safety

The busbar compartment is mechanically segregated from other compartments, ensuring operator safety during maintenance and operation . It can be fitted with bare copper busbars, optionally treated with tinning, silver-plating, or sheathing, and is compatible with both fixed and withdrawable circuit-breakers .

Summary

  • Location: Middle section of the switchgear panel
  • Height: Determined by panel height (1025–1600 mm) and modular 25 mm increments
  • Busbar arrangement: Top, center, or bottom; 1–3 busbars per phase
  • Current rating: Main busbars up to 6300 A, distribution busbars up to 4000 A
  • Segregation: Fully segregated for safety and maintenance For precise compartment height in a specific configuration, it is recommended to refer to the ABB MNS R system layout drawings or consult ABB technical support, as the height may vary depending on the number of busbars, panel width, and installed apparatus .
