Pogliano BusBar s.r.l.
a modern solution for power feeding and distribution
The philosophy behind busbar
Cable
Power distribution by cable trays
Blindosbarra Pogliano
Power is distributed by means of selfsupporting and modular standard lenghts. Tap-off outlets are distributed along the run.
Power tap-off by connection boxes
A specific cable for each load Power is easily tapped-off by means of tap-off plugs
Components and terminology
Power feeding by cache
Disadvantages of cable vs. busbar
Installation time twice as long as with busbars
Heavy weight requires multiple fixing.
Installation requires a mechanical support on which cables are installed. The handling of cables is difficult , especially if the space is narrow.
Cables take up more space
Cable bending requires high radiuses in crowded spaces.
Wear and tear of insulators in time
PCV deteriorates
Feeding power by busbar trunking
Advantage of busbar links vs. cable
Reduction of fixing points
Busbar trunking is 40 % lighter than cable.
Easier than cable
Installation can be completed in just one step.
Less space Easy connection to transformer
In case of fault the transformer can be disconnected within an hour. A single duct can substitute many cables in parallel. Busbar trunking allows for 90 bends, and makes for optimal usage of space
Durability of components
Poglianos busbar systems are almost forever!
Power distribution by cable
Disadvantages of a centralized cable system
A centralized cable system is complex
Each load draws power individually from the switchboard
Hard to modify
When a load is moved or a new load inserted, it must be cabled again
Installation time: twice as long as with busbar trunking
All cables must be supported mechanically along their length
Downtime
During load maintenance power must be turned off since protection is inside the switchboard
High magnetic fields
Components generated by each phase are not balanced or screened
Power distribution by busbar
Advantages of decentralized distribution by busbar trunking
Less space
Distributing power by busbar means smaller switchboards!
Installation time cut in half
Just one installation step
Easy layout Magnetic fields greatly reduced
When distributing power in places like offices or hospitals, busbar trunking minimizes magnetic fields and their risks The layout is simple and it is not necessary to know the final layout of the loads
More flexible and less expensive than cable
Lower fire loads
Fewer plastic insulators
Power distribution by busbar trunking
Advantages of decentralized distribution by busbar trunking
No downtime Very easy to modify.
Loads can be moved easily without any need to modify the system.
Protection devices can be inserted in the tap-off plugs, which means that no need to turn off the power during load maintenance.
Modularity
Runs can be modified, moved or removed when the need arises
Easy to layout
- Layout is easy - Technical data and parameters are clear from the beginning.

Cable distribution for lighting
Disadvantages of cable vs. busbar trunking
Difficult to modify Installation time. Adding or removing more lamps is difficult or impossible once completed
1. Installation of cable trays 2. Installation of cables and of lighting equipment
Downtime Maintenance of loads may require that the whole system be switched off
0,5 hours
per meter for the run
0,5 hours
per lighting device
Lighting distribution by busbar
Advantages of busbar trunking
Installation time cut in half
Busbar trunking can be assembled just as fast as cable trays, but the lamps can be prepared on the ground and assembled together with the busbar trunking
Very easy to modify
Lamps can be removed or added very quickly
Easy to modify the circuit
By modifying the cabling of the plug you change the phase from which you draw power
No downtime
Any maintenance only involves one lighting load, which means power doesnt need to be turned off
0,2 hours
per meter to install the busbar trunking
0,2 hours
per lamp for suspension and electrical connection
More competitive than cable tray+cable
Pogliano BusBar product range

Ideal for lighting
Pogliano BusBar trunking
Advantages to electrical consultants
Easy to design
- The design is easier and faster - Design possible even without knowing the exact destination of loads. Knowing total loads and the characteristics of the installation is sufficient
Technical warranty:
- It complies to all existing standards. - Safely designed. - Reliable.
More competitive than cable.
For distribution, feeding or for lighting
Pogliano BusBar trunking
Advantages to installers
Weeks
It satisfies customer needs
Modular design satisfies customer needs
Lower stock. Good for business
Speed of installation means delivering the job a lot faster Fast delivery times allow for lower stock and quick replacement
Pogliano BusBar trunking
Advantages to end customers
Adaptability
Modularity makes it possible to reconfigure the layout after installation.
Speed of installation.
Time to deliver the job cut in half
No downtime
Protection devices contained in tap-off plugs make it possible to single out maintenance operation without turning off the general power
Safe buildings
Low magnetic fields (much lower than with cable). Low emissions even in case of fire.
No maintenance
Once installed they dont require any maintenance other than common sense (and tightening of joints in case of BX)
Pogliano BusBar service
Tradition and innovation
No systems go out of production Reliability over time is the best warranty (since 1943)
