Busbar trunking system cuts installation costs

The Canalis KSR rising main busbar trunking system launched by Schneider Electric enables electrical distribution to be rapidly installed in multi-storey buildings of all types, including office blocks, hotels, hospitals and car parks. Canalis KSR improves safety, cuts installation time and reduces the overall cost of installing and distribution systems compared to traditional cabling.

Rated at 400-800A, Canalis KSR is the first rising main busbar trunking to use aluminium connectors as standard. The system is lighter and easier to handle on site than conventional copper busbar trunking, allowing fast installation. Its lightness means it can be fitted in many cases by one person rather than two, and also means it needs fewer mechanical fixings, making it even faster to install.
