Product catalog summary
Overview
The document provides comprehensive technical specifications and guidelines for the XCP busbar trunking system, designed for power applications ranging from 630 A to 6300 A with an IP55 degree of protection. It is suitable for industrial, commercial, and service sector installations, emphasizing safety, flexibility, and simplicity.
Specifications
The busbar system is certified under IEC 61439-6 and offers fire resistance tested to IEC 60331-1. It is designed for heavy industrial environments with a maximum impact resistance of IK10. The system can be accessorized with a sprinkler kit for additional protection.
Product Lines
There are two main product lines: XCP-S and XCP-HP. XCP-S is optimized for standard applications, being lighter and more compact, while XCP-HP is designed for heavy-duty applications with higher energy efficiency and short circuit withstand capabilities.
Components and Accessories
The system includes straight elements, elbows, tap-off boxes, connection interfaces, and fixing supports. New fiberglass and metal tap-off boxes are available, offering safety, optimized dimensions, and reduced maintenance costs.
Installation and Design
The XCP system is designed for ease of installation with pre-installed monoblocs and keyed connections. Legrand's PSZ software supports project design, allowing for detailed layouts and material lists compatible with Autocad and Revit.
Energy Efficiency
XCP-HP offers lower Joule losses compared to XCP-S, providing potential economic savings over time. The system can be integrated with resin busbars for hybrid systems requiring different protection levels.
Innovations
New features include a patented monobloc for better junction connections, SmartBolts for visual torque indication, and new tap-off boxes with enhanced safety and installation features.
Technical Information
The document discusses the impact of harmonic distortion in electrical distribution systems, highlighting the negative effects such as power factor deterioration, neutral heating, additional losses in electrical machinery, and instability in protection elements. Harmonic components are described, with a focus on the third and fifth harmonics, and the total harmonic distortion (THD) is calculated at 25.5%.
Busbar Specifications
The XCP busbar system is detailed, with specifications for different THD levels and rated currents ranging from 630A to 6300A. The document specifies the use of double neutral busbars to protect against overloads due to harmonics.
Protection Standards
The document outlines the degrees of protection (IP and IK) for equipment against mechanical impacts and environmental factors, following IEC standards. The IP rating indicates protection against solid bodies and liquids, while the IK rating measures resistance to mechanical impacts.
Fire Barriers
Fire barrier elements are necessary for busbar systems crossing fire-resistant walls or ceilings, with specifications for internal and external barriers to comply with fire resistance certifications.
Expansion Elements
The document describes the use of expansion elements to accommodate thermal expansion in busbar systems, necessary for straight sections longer than 40 meters.
General Features
The Xtra Compact (XCP-S) line offers a range from 630A to 5000A with aluminum alloy conductors and from 800A to 6300A with copper conductors. Its compact design enhances resistance to short circuit stresses and reduces circuit impedance, allowing installation in confined spaces. The system supports tap-off boxes from 63A to 1250A, accommodating protective devices like fuses and switches. It complies with IEC EN 61439-6 standards and is designed for maintenance-free operation, except for periodic inspections.
Structural Features
The XCP-S line features an outer casing made of galvanized steel, painted with RAL7035 resins for chemical resistance. It offers a standard IP55 protection degree, with IP65 available on request. The busbar conductors have a rectangular cross-section with rounded corners, available in electrolytic copper or aluminum alloy. Insulation is provided by a double polyester film sheath, with thermal resistance options. The system is halogen-free and supplied with pre-installed components to reduce installation time.
Technical Specifications
The XCP-S line is designed for both horizontal and vertical installations without derating. It includes features like tin-plated aluminum or copper junction contacts and shear head bolts for secure connections. Each product undergoes an insulation test to ensure safety and performance.
Environmental and Safety Considerations
The systems are designed to operate in a wide range of temperatures, with correction factors provided for ambient temperatures from -5°C to 70°C. Special considerations are required for temperatures above 50°C or below -5°C.
Conclusion
The XCP series busbars offer advanced insulation technology with a robust design that ensures high performance and safety in various environmental conditions. The use of PET film and the sandwich construction logic are key features that contribute to the product's reliability and effectiveness.

RANGE features Xtra-compact design XCP is available with aluminium or copper conductors and is characterised by a smart and extra-compact design. The external dimensions do not change based on the number of conductors. The length and height change with the rating, but are the same for all three combinations of conductors (3 - 4 - 5 conductors) available. Often, for the transport and the distribution of high power (5000A Al /6300A Cu rated current), the energy distribution consists of a parallel of two independant busbars. With XCP multi-bar design is always supplied in a single structure so as...

2 product lines Energy Saving The two busbar ranges, XCP-S and XCP-HP, also differ in the loss values due to the Joule effect. XCP-HP has lower Joule losses compared to XCP-S and this feature means that in a relatively short time it will be possible to recover the additional cost invested in the purchase of a low loss busbar duct, compared to the cost of a standard loss busbar duct. Difference in initial investment In the graph below you can see an indicative example of the possible economic savings in relation to the loss values of the busbar duct. BEP (break even point) Difference in losses...
