Estes s\u00e3o chamados de barramentos ou sistemas de duto de barramento e s\u00e3o usados para distribuir eletricidade sem fia\u00e7\u00e3o grande e arriscada. A tecnologia de barramento originou-se na Europa, e ainda \u00e9 a mais avan\u00e7ada neste continente. Os fabricantes de barramentos mais bem-sucedidos da Europa tamb\u00e9m est\u00e3o localizados aqui, especialmente na Alemanha, Fran\u00e7a e It\u00e1lia.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Os l\u00edderes na ind\u00fastria europeia de barramentos e busway s\u00e3o a Schneider Electric da Fran\u00e7a, que possui a famosa s\u00e9rie Canalis.

A It\u00e1lia tem sua participa\u00e7\u00e3o no neg\u00f3cio com empresas como BTicino (parte da Legrand), Pogliano Busbar, NAXSO, SCAME garantindo uma posi\u00e7\u00e3o forte nos segmentos de distribui\u00e7\u00e3o LV e industrial. Em 2025, o mercado global de barramentos ser\u00e1 avaliado em aproximadamente $7 bilh\u00f5es, com expectativa de dobrar para cerca de $14 bilh\u00f5es at\u00e9 2035, com um CAGR de 7.3% devido ao desenvolvimento de data centers e processos de constru\u00e7\u00e3o, bem como projetos de eletrifica\u00e7\u00e3o e renova\u00e7\u00e3o de edif\u00edcios.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>O que \u00e9 Barramento \/ Busway?<\/h2>\n<p>Barramento (nomenclatura UK\/IEC) e busway (nomenclatura norte-americana) descrevem o mesmo equipamento: unidades pr\u00e9-fabricadas de barras de alum\u00ednio ou cobre dur\u00e1vel e leve capazes de transmitir eletricidade e colocadas em inv\u00f3lucro met\u00e1lico ou isolado. As barras s\u00e3o mantidas fixas com o uso de isoladores dentro do duto. Pontos de deriva\u00e7\u00e3o el\u00e9trica est\u00e3o localizados a cada v\u00e1rios metros, permitindo conectar o consumo sem cortar o percurso das barras.<\/p>\n<p>Os sistemas de barramento possuem v\u00e1rias vantagens competitivas em compara\u00e7\u00e3o com sistemas convencionais de cabos ou condu\u00edtes. Eles t\u00eam: densidade de corrente muito maior e volume\/se\u00e7\u00e3o transversal m\u00ednimo, menor queda de tens\u00e3o, maior efici\u00eancia de dissipa\u00e7\u00e3o de calor, pontos de deriva\u00e7\u00e3o podem ser instalados facilmente e movidos para qualquer lugar ao longo do comprimento do barramento, s\u00e3o resistentes ao fogo e podem ser instalados mais rapidamente (at\u00e9 30-50% comparado a percursos equivalentes de cabos).<\/p>\n<p>Termos-chave: Barramento = termo EU\/IEC; Busway\/bus duct = termo norte-americano; barramento sandu\u00edche = tipo de constru\u00e7\u00e3o popular usando barras isoladas colocadas entre coberturas met\u00e1licas; barramento isolado a ar = outro tipo que usa espa\u00e7amento de ar entre barras, desempenhando sua fun\u00e7\u00e3o de forma relativamente pobre; barramento de resina fundida = tipo relativamente novo processado em resina que oferece m\u00e1xima resist\u00eancia ao fogo e prote\u00e7\u00e3o contra umidade.<\/p>\n<h2>O Mercado Europeu de Barramentos em Resumo<\/h2>\n<p>De acordo com pesquisas do setor, o mercado global de barramentos foi avaliado em cerca de 7,04 bilh\u00f5es em 2025 e espera-se que esteja em torno de 14,18 bilh\u00f5es at\u00e9 2035, o que corresponde a uma taxa de crescimento anual composta de 7,26 por cento. Os fatores de crescimento s\u00e3o: constru\u00e7\u00e3o de data centers, eletrifica\u00e7\u00e3o industrial, renova\u00e7\u00e3o de edif\u00edcios, regulamenta\u00e7\u00f5es mais rigorosas de seguran\u00e7a contra inc\u00eandio e integra\u00e7\u00e3o de energia renov\u00e1vel.

Cast resin is specified where fire resistance or environmental protection is of primary concern.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Choose the Right Manufacturer<\/h2>\n<p>All the European nations are well-acquainted with the matter as they follow five guidelines:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Match technical specifications and voltage levels. Check that the manufacturer\u2019s range is sufficient for your operation. The busbar must be rated for a full load while also considering derating due to temperature and orientation issues.<\/li>\n<li>Confirm standards and certificates. All European busbars must meet IEC 61439-6 (LV busbars) or the national alternative; it is necessary to consider fire safety requirements EN 1363 \/ BS 476, IP ratings, and withstand short-circuit current (Icw). Request certificates of type-testing from manufacturers.<\/li>\n<li>Define flexibility of tap-offs. If there is a chance that the layout may change, a plug-in solution will come in handy \u2014 Starline and Canalis KT can be the best options.<\/li>\n<li>Think of smart monitoring. Data centers and energy-efficient buildings should get the monitoring systems installed \u2014 Siemens LData, Schneider EcoStruxure, and Legrand monitoring could be introduced. In case you need instantaneous data for tap-offs, narrow your scope to the manufacturers offering it.<\/li>\n<li>Balance brand name, support, and price. Leading brands like Schneider, Siemens, ABB, and Eaton win international bids having all required papers and universal assistance. Local players like BTicino, Pogliano, NAXSO, and SCAME offer first-rate localization and good costs in their countries.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A word of practicality from the field: the installation of the busbar is as vital as the product itself. Regardless of whom you select as the manufacturer, make sure you have qualified people at the installation. Be particular about following the joint preparation and torque details as well \u2014 the number one reason for unsuccessful joints is bad installations, and not bad products.For the protection side of your distribution design, understanding how the breakers feeding the busbar are specified matters too \u2014 our overview of <a href=\"https:\/\/huyuglobal.com\/pt\/blog\/what-is-ul-489-breakers\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">padr\u00f5es de disjuntores UL 489<\/a> e o <a href=\"https:\/\/huyuglobal.com\/pt\/blog\/what-is-mccb-and-mcb\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Compara\u00e7\u00e3o MCB vs MCCB<\/a> covers the protection hardware that pairs with busbar systems, while our guide on <a href=\"https:\/\/huyuglobal.com\/pt\/blog\/how-to-tell-if-a-breaker-is-bad\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">detecting failing breakers<\/a> helps maintenance teams keep the whole chain reliable over its life.<\/p>\n<h2>Price Ranges and What Drives Them<\/h2>\n<p>Busbar pricing is highly project-specific, but typical 2025-2026 figures provide a useful baseline:<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>System Type \/ Rating<\/th>\n<th>Typical Price Range<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Small plug-in busbar (100-250A)<\/td>\n<td>$60 &#8211; $150 per meter (materials)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Medium sandwich busbar (400-800A)<\/td>\n<td>$120 &#8211; $350 per meter<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Large feeder busbar (1,250-2,500A)<\/td>\n<td>$250 &#8211; $700 per meter<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>High-power busbar (4,000-6,300A)<\/td>\n<td>$600 &#8211; $1,500+ per meter<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Tap-off boxes \/ plug-in units<\/td>\n<td>$80 &#8211; $400 each (depending on rating and breaker)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Cast resin busbar (any rating)<\/td>\n<td>+40-80% over sandwich equivalent<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Engineering, supports, and installation<\/td>\n<td>Typically 30-60% of material cost<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The price determinants include the type of conductor, whether it is made of copper or aluminum (price of copper conductor rises by approximately 60-100% compared to aluminum conductor of the same capacity), the level of IP\/fire rating, the presence of smart features for the product, brand level and amount of purchase. Currently aluminum busbars are widely used in most cases in LV distribution due to cost effectiveness. Copper is still being used for heavy duty high voltage applications.<\/p>\n<h2>Certifications and Standards<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>IEC 61439-6 is the worldwide standard for low-voltage busbar trunking systems (the most recent version took the place of the previous version IEC 60439-2).<\/li>\n<li>EN 61439 \/ national adoptions represent the European standard (DIN EN in Germany, NF EN in France, CEI EN in Italy).<\/li>\n<li>Fire resistance is determined according to such standards as EN 1363-1 \/ BS 476-20 for fire-resisting busbar installed in tall buildings.<\/li>\n<li>IP ratings are being governed by IEC 60529: IP54 (dust\/splash) standard indoor and up to IP68 for cast resin and very tough conditions.<\/li>\n<li>Short-circuit withstand (Icw) describes the rms current which can be supported by the busbar within one second of the failure; this is very important safety parameter for validation.<\/li>\n<li>UL 857 \/ UL 1065 are the busway standards for North America in case of the export projects.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When purchasing goods from any manufacturer \u2014 especially any non-European company \u2014 request the type test certificates in IEC 61439-6, the fire rating report, and the short circuit test information. Busbar mistaken for a bargain deal is a bad risk against the verification certificates.<\/p>\n<h2>Perguntas Frequentes<\/h2>\n<h3>Is busway the same as busbar?<\/h3>\n<p>Indeed, busway and busbar trunking are different terms for an identical product that is called differently in different regions of the world. The expression \u201cbusway\u201d refers to the North American terminology (UL 857), while \u201cbusbar trunking\u201d represents the European\/IEC terminology (IEC 61439-6). Both of them refer to a finished enclosed system whose construction consists of copper and aluminum bars used to deliver electric energy with the help of tapping points. The two definitions are used instead of one another in international ventures.<\/p>\n<h3>What is a busway trunking system?<\/h3>\n<p>A busway system is a prefabricated duct form for the distribution of electricity; it consists of copper or aluminum busbars suspended from insulators in a metallic duct. The tap off points are spaced in such a way that it is possible to connect a load anywhere along the busway route without having to cut any cables. It serves to distribute electricity from the transformers to the switchboards and to the loads in commercial and industrial establishments, and telecommunications centers.<\/p>\n<h3>What is busbar trunking used for?<\/h3>\n<p>Busbar trunking ensures efficient and safe distribution of high power as seen in vertical riser installations within buildings, horizontal installations in industrial systems, power distribution in data centers, supply line between substations and switchboards or whenever different distribution might be required (e.g., plug-in takeoffs). In addition to this, busbar trunking is used in situations where limited space is an issue, voltage is high, reconfiguration is needed, and fire safety regulations are many.<\/p>\n<h3>What is the difference between bus duct and busbar trunking?<\/h3>\n<p>There are no important differences \u2014 &#8220;bus duct&#8221; and &#8220;busbar trunking&#8221; refer to one system. The term &#8220;bus duct&#8221; tends to be more common in the North American context (while being commonly used in reference to feeder sections without any taps), whereas &#8220;busbar trunking&#8221; is the term used in IEC\/European context for both feeder and plug-in (tapping) systems. All things being equal, international tenders often take them to mean the same thing; however, there are some major differences with regard to plug-in vs feeder, sandwich vs air insulated, and also the standard (UL 857 vs IEC 61439\u20136).<\/p>\n<h2>Refer\u00eancias<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.snsinsider.com\/blogs\/busbar-trunking-market\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">SNS Insider \u2014 Busbar trunking market size, key players and forecast<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.se.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Schneider Electric \u2014 Canalis and I-Line busbar systems<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.siemens.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Siemens \u2014 SIVACON 8PS busbar trunking systems<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.legrand.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Legrand \u2014 DLp busbar and Starline busway<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eaton.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Eaton \u2014 Pow-R-Way busway systems<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.socomec.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Socomec \u2014 power distribution and busbar products<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rittal.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Rittal \u2014 RiLine60 busbar systems<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/webstore.iec.ch\/en\/publication\/64305\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">IEC 61439-6 \u2014 LV switchgear and controlgear assemblies (busbar trunking)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Conclus\u00e3o<\/h2>\n<p>The manufacturers of busbar trunking and busway in Europe are globally recognized when it comes to the power distribution technology. France, leads with brands such as Schneider (Canalis), Legrand (DLp\/Starline) and Socomec; Germany on the other hand utilizes Siemens (SIVACON 8PS) and Rittal (RiLine); and Italy is represented by BTicino, Pogliano, NAXSO and SCAME \u2014 and there\u2019s also a number of international brands, with Eaton, ABB and the Irish critical-power brands included.<\/p>\n<p>The criteria for selection are simple: determine the right rating, check for compliance with IEC 61439-6 and fire certificates, analyze the options for tap-off, check for smart monitoring feature and balance brand support and price. When doing an international project, it is advisable to work with the international brands; while for local projects there is no better choice than the local brands; and when budget is what is driving the decision it is worth checking experiences and certified high volume producers with countries outside of the Western Europe. Whichever way you go, do ensure verified testing certificates and professional installation \u2014 as the busbar system is meant to last longer than the building and must therefore be treated with the same technical precision as the transformers and other distribution devices.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you visit a contemporary data center, factory, or skyscraper, you will be able to witness various overhead installations \u2013 large, metallic tubes that channel a great amount of amperes from an electric transformer to switchboards.
