Sentron Busway can be ordered with
Aluminum or Copper bus bars. Aluminum
bars are available in 800-4000 ampere
sections. Copper bars are available in 8005000 ampere sections. Sentron Busway
includes an integral housing ground, and is
available with an internal ground bar or an
isolated ground bar in all ampere ratings.
Sentron Busway housing is a four-piece
aluminum design.
Plug-In Sections
Sentron plug-in sections are designed with
plug-in openings centered on 24 in. (610mm)
intervals, and are located on both sides of the
busway for optimum utilization. Plug-in sections are available in standard lengths of 4 ft.
(1.22m), 6 ft. (1.83m), 8 ft. (2.44m) and 10 ft.
(3.05m). Sentron plug-in sections meet IP40
(indoor), IP43 (spray proof), and IP54 (splash
proof) requirements. One joint stack assembly
is provided with each plug-in section.

Riser Sections
Sentron Riser sections are designed with
plug-in openings centered on 24 in. (610mm)
intervals on one side of the busway only.
This eliminates unusable plug-in outlets in
vertical applications. Riser busway is available
in standard lengths of 4 ft. (1.22m), 6 ft.
(1.83m), 8 ft. (2.44m) and 10 ft. (3.05m).
Sentron Riser Busway is available in IP40
(indoor), IP43 (spray proof), and IP54 (splash
proof). One joint stack assembly is provided
with each riser section.
Plug-In Outlet Features
The plug-in outlet molded guard design prevents incidental finger contact with live conductors. Sentron plug-in outlets are IP 2X
rated: a .472 in. (12mm) or larger probe is
unable to enter a plug-in outlet.
Feeder Sections
Feeder busway carries the current of the
busway system from the supply source.
Feeder busway does not have plug-in
outlets. Sentron Feeder busway is available in custom lengths from 2 ft. (.61m) to
10 ft. (3.05m). Place orders for Sentron
Feeder sections in inches to meet exact
length requirements. Feeder sections are
rated as IP40 (Indoor), IP43 (Spray Proof),
IP54 (Splash Proof), IP65 (Outdoor), and
IP66 (Severe Outdoor). Outdoor feeder
sections require field applied caulking
and gasketing to meet IP65/IP66
requirements. Outdoor installation kits are
supplied with IP65/IP66 orders. One joint
stack assembly is provided with each
feeder section.

Elbows
Elbows
Sentron Busway elbows provide a simple, convenient method of changing the
direction (left, right, up or down) of a
busway run. All elbows are shipped with
a joint stack assembly on one end for
direct connection to the busway system.
Flatwise elbows are used for left and
right directional changes when the
busway system is mounted in the
horizontal plane; bus bars run parallel to
the floor. The nameplate (NP) lies on the
neutral side of flatwise elbows, which is
the side of the elbow that faces the floor.
The joint stack assembly may be moved
to the opposite leg to change the orientation from left to right/right to left.
Edgewise elbows create up and down
directional changes. The nameplate and
neutral side lie on the outside of the bend
for edge up elbows. The nameplate and
neutral side lie on the inside of the bend
for edge down elbows. The joint stack
assembly on edgewise elbows can not
be moved in order to change orientation
from up to down/down to up.

lies on the neutral side of the tee.
Edgewise tees are used to create
branches that stem up or down from
the busway run. The nameplate and
neutral side lie toward the floor on edge
down tees while the nameplate and
neutral side lie toward the ceiling on edge
up tees. Edgewise tees are housed in a
special box enclosure to provide rigidity
and shield against dirt and dust.

Offsets and Combinations
Offsets
Offsets can be utilized to solve difficult
contour problems and save space.
In applications where space does not
allow for two connected elbows, a
single offset can bypass an obstruction.
All offsets are supplied with one joint
stack assembly. Overall length may not
exceed 10 ft. (3.05m).
Combinations
Combinations are used to create edge to
flat/flat to edge changes in the busway
run. One joint stack assembly is shipped
with combination. Overall length may not
exceed 10 ft. (3.05m).

End Tap Boxes
End Tap Boxes

End tap boxes are non-fusible devices
used to connect cable and conduit to the
end of a busway run or where busway
runs connect without the need for overcurrent protection. End tap boxes may be
installed at the end or beginning of a run.
Vertical end tap boxes and horizontal end
tap boxes can be installed in both horizontal and vertical applications. Extended end
tap boxes are available if the application
requires additional wire bending space.

Center Tap Boxes
Center Tap Boxes

Center tap boxes are non-fusible devices
utilized to feed to or take off power from
the busway run. When loads served by
the busway run do not require over-current protection, center tap boxes may be
used. If the application requires additional
wiring bending space, extended center
tap boxes are available. Center tap boxes
are an actual part of the busway run and
require a space of 32 in. (810mm) for
installation. One joint stack assembly is
provided with each center tap box.

Service Heads
Service Heads
Service Heads are used to connect
busway to a service entrance. In the
Sentron Busway line, 3-single phase
service heads and 3-phase service head
connections are available. The standard
service entrance connection is the
3-phase service head which consists of
one service head for all three phases.
3-single phase service heads consist of
three heads one for each phase and
may be used to meet the requirements of
certain applications. To ensure ease of
installation of incoming cables, both types
of Sentron service heads are constructed
so that the lugs face the Glastic bottom
of the box. The Glastic bottom provides
insulation and protection to the incoming
cables.

In-Line Disconnect Cubicles, Expansion Fittings,

Reducers and Phase Rotation Fittings
In-Line Disconnect Cubicles

Cubicles provide a means of mounting
switches or circuit breakers where power
feeds to or pulls from the busway
system. When bolted connections are
preferred, cubicles may be used in place
of plug-in units. Cubicles can also be used
at ampere ratings that exceed standard
plug-in unit ratings. Modifications to
cubicles can be made in order to accommodate kirk key interlocks, ground fault
detector systems and the Siemens
Access System. (Refer to Siemens
publication number SG3099 for more
information on Access System.)

Expansion Fittings
Expansion fittings accommodate for
expansion and contraction of a busway
run. In order to compensate for the difference in the coefficient of expansion
between the copper/aluminum bus bars
and the aluminum housing, an expansion
fitting must be used. Expansion fittings
are installed in the center of long busway
runs, where both ends of the run are held
in a permanent, fixed positions or where
a busway run crosses an expansion joint
of a building. Additionally, NEMA recommends the use of expansion fittings
when the run exceeds 200 ft. (608m).
Expansion fittings allow for a +/- 2 in.
(50.8mm) movement along the length of
the busway system.
Fused Reducers
The NEC (Art. 364-11) requires overcurrent protection when busway systems
are reduced in ampacity. A fused reducer
is used to reduce the allowable ampere
rating in those sections of the busway
that do not require a higher rating (i.e. at
branch circuit junctures).

Non-Fused Reducers
Non-fused reducers are used in conjunction with the following exception to the
NEC (Art. 364-11): "For industrial establishments only, omission of overcurrent
protection shall be permitted at points
where busways are reduced in ampacity,
provided that the length of the busway
having the small ampacity does not
exceed 50 ft. (15.2m) and has an ampacity of at least equal to one-third the rating
or setting of the overcurrent device next
back on the line, and provided that such
busway is free from contact with combustible material." Special joint stack connections are provided for non-fused
reducer connections. Consult factory for
specific design guidelines.
Phase-Rotation Fittings
Phase-rotation fittings can be used when
the application requires a phase rotation
in the power supply. Phase rotation fittings can be ordered for "phase and
ground", "phase only" and "ground only"
rotations.

Flanges
Roof, wall and floor flanges are available
for Sentron Busway. When the busway
run passes thorough a roof, wall or ceiling, a flange should be used. Flanges do
not offer support to the busway, only a
means of covering the hole created in the
existing structure. An additional sealant
may be required to meet fire codes and
all other local requirements; no caulking
or gasketing is provided with Sentron
flanges. Roof flanges provide a watertight
seal for use with IP65/ IP66 rated
busway. Roof pitch must be indicated on
drawings when ordering roof flanges.

Hangers
Hangers
A complete offering of hangers is available to support Sentron Busway in both
vertical and horizontal applications.
Standard trapeze hangers and single drop
rod hangers support Sentron Busway in
horizontal applications; both hangers are
designed to be hung on 10 ft. (3.05m)
centers, however, additional hangers may
be used if structural requirements
mandate their use. The contractor must
supply drop rods to complete assembly
for both single drop rod and trapeze
hangers. Spring hangers and floor support
hangers must be used to provide secure
mounting of the busway run in vertical
applications. Spring hangers counter the
weight of the busway on each floor and
also compensate for minimal building
movement and thermal expansion.
Maximum distance between spring hangers may not exceed 16 ft. (4.88m). When
ordering 18 ft. (5.49m) floor to ceiling
height assemblies, intermediate support
hangers are necessary.

Notes:
1. For plug-in distributed loads, divide voltage
drop values by 2.
2. To determine voltage drop line-to-neutral,
multiply line-to-line values by 0.577.
3. Actual voltage drop for different lengths and at
loadings less than full rated current can be
calculated using the formula:
Vd (actual) = Vd (table) x actual load x actual length (ft)
rated load
100 feet
50
4. For 50 Hz, multiply reactance (X) by 0.85 and

resistance values do not change. For 400 Hz,
multiply reactance by 3.75 and multiply resistance
by 1.4. Calculate new voltage drop:
Vd = amps load x =3(Rcos + X sin ) per 100 ft,
where cos = Power Factor.
5. For metric conversion R, X, Z values

in Ohms per meters Line to Neutral
R x .0328
X x .0328
Z x .0328
6. For metric conversion
Line to Line per meter at 25 C ambient in mV/A/m
(Vd 32.8) / A Divide Vd by 2 for distributed loads.
