Modular APD System Altech’s modular Power Distribution (APD) System is a new way to simplify existing wiring methods! The modular APD system provides flexible solutions for busing common power to many different electrical components. Components can be easily added or removed using quick disconnects saving valuable time and cost during installation and maintenance. The APD system also provides an organized method of wiring, that would simplify the wiring schematics for troubleshooting, while reducing the use of excessive wires and cables. Modular APD System The APD system allows multiple connections per phase for many applications, such as: 22 • Supplying separate voltages to auxiliary circuits and control circuits for relays, contactors, timers, etc. • Supplying power to circuit breakers, motor starters, switches, contactors, etc. Two conductors are housed within a rigid plastic insulation housing suitable for voltages up to 600VAC. The conductors have current ratings of 25A, 63A or 80A. The entire system is touch proof (IP20).

When cutting the busbars remember to cut the conductor 62mm shorter than the insulation to ensure space for the insulation cap (Part No. 17BI0) at each end. This guarantees adequate and required creepage distance (see picture below). If an end support (Part No. 17BS) is used then no insulation cap is needed. 31 mm 31 mm insulation cap insulation cap Altech Corp.® • t 908-806-9400 • f 908-806-9490 • www.altechcorp.com 23 FIxINg AND MoUNTINg Bar-Holder The holder can accommodate up to 3 Busbars (6 conductor circuits) Holders should be set approx. every 500mm (19.69 in.).

It can accommodate wires from 8 to 2AWG and is used for circuits up to 90A. 90A can be distributed over a 63A APD Busbar by using the Power Input Connector as a feeder in the center of the busbar. Note: Standard Female Quick Disconnects (0.250 x 0.032 in.) can be used for power feeding and between-busbar connections of up to 30A. Power Input Connectors (Part No. 40017) are only necessary for currents greater than 30A.
