The Power Busbar Division of C&S founded in 1982 has been meeting the evolving needs of power generating stations, process and manufacturing industries, infrastructure establishments, technology and technological centers and real estate developments with its complete and fully tested product line of Busduct, Bustrunking and associated equipment. The concept which was already in use in the sixties in industrial installations is now in the third generation form. Due to the typical characteristics, the system guarantees the integrity of many projects world-wide, providing safe and maintenance free electrical power supplies in both Low Voltage and Medium Voltage installations.This concept is unique as it is based on the direct encapsulation of copper or aluminium conductors with an insulation compound, B.I.M. casting mix, consisting of epoxy-resin mixed under vacuum.
This B.I.M. casting mix has excellent electrical characteristics and high mechanical withstand with specific physical properties. It is moisture- resistant, fire-resistant and self extinguishing. A flexible fabrication method, universal moulds and an integrated process controlled mixing technique allow the production of an almost unlimited number of element forms for L.V as for M.V applications. The prefabricated elements are self-supporting and are interconnected electrically by joining the conductors with 2-sided compression contacts, ensuring an excess of contact surfaces and a maximum of adjustment. Junctions and element extremities are overcast with a B.I.M. casting mix resulting in a homogeneous insulation over the full length of the connection. Today, we have an enviable track record of having associated with 14 Units of 660 MW, 25 Units of 500 MW, 35 Units of 250 MW, 30 Units of 150 MW Thermal Power Stations, Hydro Power Plants and Nuclear Power Plants, besides many Captive/Private Power Projects of capacity less than 100 MW. The largest proportion of power generated in India flows through C&S busducts.
