DBTS Africa PTY (LTD) - Busbar Trunking Systems Global Manufacturer
What is busbar?
Busbar Trunking Systems is used for electricity distribution
and is an alternative for cumbersome conventional cable systems
Benefits of DBTS busbars
DBTS Africa busbar systems are designed and manufactured
utilising state of the art technologies and equipment
All busbar systems are available in Copper or Aluminium
conductors and have degree of protection rating up to IP68,
and can be enclosed in non-ventilated aluminium or steel housing
or in cast resin
Busbars conform to the latest IEC & British Specifications
and are designed and manufactured to the stringent ISO9001;
2000 quality standards and are also ASTA and SABS certified
All our busbars undergo stringent type testing to international
standards before being released from the factory
We use Thermoset blu-E-Coat™ epoxy insulation on our
busbars. It can withstand temperature above 180oC.
The blu-E-Coat™ epoxy insulation is bonded directly to
the busbar conductor thus eliminating any air gap between the
insulation and conductor. Water or moisture is not able to permeate
or condense under the blu-E-Coat™ epoxy insulation.
The unique Single Torque Bolt compression fastening system
ensures elimination of possible hot spots ensuring fault free
and timesaving installations
Low maintenance costs and fault possibilities compared to
bolted joint installations
Significant space saving can also be achieved with our compression
fastening system
Busbar designs are aesthetically pleasing in open plan areas
Existing busbar installations can be accommodated and integrated
into the new system
Our range of products are especially suitable for industries
such as Mining, Oil & Gas, Power Generation, Pulp &
Paper, Petro-Chemical, Cement, Process Plants, Factories, Hospitals,
Hotels, High Rise Buildings, Shopping Complexes, Airports etc.
Advantages of using busbar over cable
Lower risk of theft
Busbar Trunking System has the advantage of expansions,
changes, replacing and reusing capability in the future
Loads can be fed from a Plug-in Box unlike with cables,
where each floor/ machine is to be fed separately from the main
switchboard
Repositioning of distribution points is much simpler
Installation time is much shorter then cable system. This
provides low installation and manpower costs and help for better
time management
Busbar trunking systems have a modern and aesthetic look
and can be used in open plan areas
Busbar systems are maintenance free
Close proximity of busbars reduces inductive reactance,
resistance, impedance and voltage drop is much lower than with
cable
Specially designed housing act as a heat sink to yield improved
thermal characteristic, high mechanical and short circuit strength
Busbar Systems has no chimney effect, hence provide a better
resistance to the spread of fire
Automatic polarity is maintained during installation
System can be mounted edgewise OR flat wise horizontally
or vertically in any direction with all kinds of bends and tees
etc.
The compact structure and steel housing allows much lower
electromagnetic field around bus bar system then cable
Busbars do not generate electromagnetic interference on
data system
