Configuration information<br />
Comparison of busbar trunking and cable installation systems<br />
Feature Busbar trunking installation Cable installation<br />
TTA assembly Yes No<br />
Mechanical safety High <strong>Low</strong><br />
Fire load <strong>Low</strong> High<br />
Temperature characteristic<br />
System structure<br />
Protective devices for loads<br />
Ambient temperature<br />
according to IEC/EN 60439-1 and -2<br />
max. +40 °C and +35 °C on a 24 hour average<br />
Clearly structured thanks to a linear system configuration<br />
with serially arranged load outgoings via tap-off<br />
units<br />
In the tap-off unit:<br />
Means direct and immediate on-the-spot identification<br />
of assignment to load<br />
Cable loads are related to +30 °C in accordance with<br />
DIN 57298 Part 4/VDE 0298 Part 4/2.88.<br />
Very large accumulation of cables at feed point due to<br />
point-to-point supply of loads from central power distribution<br />
unit<br />
Centrally in the distribution board:<br />
Makes the assignment to the load not directly verifiable.<br />
It is necessary to rely on correct inscription of the<br />
cables and loads.<br />
Space requirement <strong>Low</strong> High, because correspondingly large distribution<br />
boards are required. Routing criteria (cable accumulation,<br />
type of routing, current carrying capacity, etc.)<br />
must be complied with.<br />
Retrofitting capability if load feeders<br />
are changed<br />
Planning and configuration<br />
Dimensioning (current, voltage drop,<br />
protective earth conditions)<br />
Great flexibility due to tap-off points in the trunking<br />
units and a great number of different tap-off units<br />
Simple and fast with EDP-aided planning tools being<br />
used<br />
Not complex<br />
Only possible at great expense; laying additional<br />
cables from the central distribution board to the load.<br />
Highly intensive engineering (distribution and cable<br />
layouts, cable plans, etc.)<br />
Very complex<br />
Troubleshooting <strong>Low</strong> High<br />
Fire barrier Type-tested, ex-works Dependent on the work standard applied on the<br />
building site<br />
Functional endurance<br />
Tested functional endurance according to<br />
DIN 4102-12<br />
Dependent on the work standard applied on the<br />
building site<br />
Electromagnetic interference <strong>Low</strong>, due to sheet-steel enclosure and conductor configuration<br />
Relatively high with a standard cable<br />
Mounting<br />
Very little fitting materials and tools required,<br />
short mounting times<br />
Complex mounting materials and a comprehensive<br />
range of tools required, long mounting times<br />
Weight Up to 1/3 of the comparable cable weight Up to 3-times the busbar trunking system weight<br />
Halogen and PVC free Trunking units are always halogen and PVC free Standard cables are not always halogen and PVC free<br />
