Midroc Electro presents a new heavy duty busduct system

Published 2010-03-19 12:14:40 | Updated 2010-03-24 23:21:56

The new heavy duty busduct system for low voltage systems, NATUS POWERLINE is now available from Midroc Electro.

The compact POWERLINE cast resin busduct complies with the protection rating IP68 and is a busbar trunking system that offers a compact and flexible alternative to cables when installing high power distribution systems 630A- 6300A up to 1000V.

Powerline is manufactured under the concept of direct encapsulation of copper or aluminium conductors with an insulation of compound ”cast resin” that consists of epoxy-resin mixed with a high content of selected inert mineral fillers.

The intire system is halogen free, non-flammable and emits no toxic gases. Excellent electromechanical characteristics thanks to the systems design.

Compared to other cast resin busduct systems, the POWERLINE system has a modular connection design that allows quick and trouble free assembly and disassembly.

The POWERLINE system is arc fault and earthquake tested.

The POWERLINE system is ideal for heavy duty conditions and gives you new possibilities in power distribution.
