System overview1.3 BD01 systemConnection methodThe assembly of the trunking units – even with the end caps and feeder units – is fast andinherently safe. The trunking units or end caps are simply inserted into the lower housing ofthe joint block. Once the upper part of the joint block or end cap is fitted, a secure connectionis established by simply tightening the four screws.Figure 1-7Establishing a safe connectionTap-off unitsTap-off units are available in four different sizes to connect the loads and also with variouscomponents fitted, e.g. such as plugs, fuses, miniature circuit-breakers or combinations ofthe aforementioned.Figure 1-8Tap-off unit BD01 systemAncillary equipment units offer additional space for decentral function expansions. Thus,automation and control components can be installed directly on the busbar.Fixing and mountingThe BD01 busbar is installed edgewise, with the tap-off points on the side using fixingbrackets on the wall, ceiling or non-fixed installation. The mounting is implemented on theconnection points using a universal fixing bracket. The system can also be fitted flat with thetap-off points pointing downwards. This reduces the required fixing interval by half.Figure 1-9Mounting the BD01 systemPlanning with SIVACON 8 PS18 Planning Manual, 10/2007, A5E01541101-01
