Bus Tie

[Alwayslearningelec]

There is an new section of switchgear being attached to the extg. gear. The pic looks like it is gogin to be a bus tie. Couls someone explain how that is done? IS the copper bus bolted together. From the drawing it looks different than that a little. Alamost like cable tying them together. Yes I could ask someone in the office who was NOT an electricain so I would rather go to the experts first and kinda look like I know what I am talking about when i go back to the person I am helping

THANKS.

Yes it was. :grin: He is talking about the kind of tie you wear to a formal event.

That wouldn't surprise me. I have seen some one line drawings that look like a spaghetti factory barfed.

I would guess bus tie. The bus from the existing will bolt to the bussing of the new section with a bus kit from the manufacturer. Best bet would be to get the cut sheets for both sections and contact the manufacture for kit part numbers etc.
