DSL Shrouded Bus Bar System
Insulated, touch‑proof conductor bars for safe power transmission
Down Shop Lead System (DSL) Conductor bar – tracks are super finished and cross section is maintained to achieve required ampere. The material for track is Copper, Aluminum & Galvanize. Conductors shall be accurately aligned to ensure positive electrical contact between the collector and the conductor. Separate conductors shall be provided for each phase. Insulation cover shall be rigid PVC, self extinguishing, with a heat distortion point of 70°C at 260 psi. These conductors are compact, insulated & touch proof. Do not expose live parts. Standard length 4.5 meters.
Bolt Jointed Type Busbar
ACCESSORIES
Hanger Clamp
Snap fit type hanger clamp with hardware, required per meter. The conductor bars are clipped in to the hanger clamp. We offer Single Pole, 3 Pole and 4 Pole hanger clamps.
Conductor Joint
Bolted type jointer provided at each conductor joint. We offer four bolted type jointer with 80mm length to perfect joint of conductors.
Center Power Feed
Used for incoming power, easily installed anywhere in the system. One or more power feed points are possible to reduce voltage drop.
Conductor Joint Cover
Conductor joints are covered with joint cover, snap fitting with locking arrangement. Required on each conductor joint.
End Cap
Used to close the end of the conductors, to cover exposed conductor and avoid live contact.
Anchor Clamp
Fall proof protection to the busbar. Required at each 50 meters.
End Power Feed
This accessory is used for incoming power and is fully insulated. Simple clamp type is easily installed at the end of the busbar.

C-Rail [Festoon] System
Festoon systems are used to electrify various types of mobile equipment. They can be designed not only to support and protect flat and round electrical cables, but air and water hoses as well. Systems can be pre-assembled at the factory to ease installation and reduce time. Festoon systems are typically used on overhead cranes, port cranes and other material handling applications. We also have a solution for extremely corrosive environments. Our product range includes accessories for the various cable management systems. Standard length 4.5 meters.

Voltage Drop
The voltage drop on our conductor system should be restricted to 2.5 to 5% of the nominal supply voltage.
Three Phase Alternating Current (3ph AC): ΔU = √3 × FL × I_total × Z (Volts)
Single Phase Alternating Current (AC): ΔU = 2 × FL × I_total × Z (Volts)
Direct Current (DC): ΔU = 2 × FL × I_total × R (Volts)
Where:
ΔU = Voltage Drop
I_total = Total Currents [Amps]
R = Resistance of conductor [ohms/meter]
Z = Impedance of conductor [ohms/meter]
FL = Feeder Length [Meters]
L = System Length [Meters]
Un = Operating Voltage
If the voltage drop is too high, then either the number of feed points or the cross section of the conductor rail should be increased to reduce the voltage drop along the system.
Multiple feed-in points
- FL = L feed from one end
- FL = L/2 feed from the center
- FL = L/4 feed from both ends
- FL = L/6 two feed-in positions, L/6 from each end
- FL = L/10 feed-in points in the center and at L/10 from both ends
Other possibilities to arrange the feed positions can be selected. For very high current, cables can be connected in parallel (booster cables).
Note: When considering ΔU calculations any effects of additional temperature caused by either heating of the conductor due to duty cycle, or a rise in ambient temperature above 35°C must be considered.
