UniGear ZS2 Double Busbar System
Description
Most switchgear used in installations with normal

service conditions is based on single busbar
systems.
When compared with double busbar switchgear,
single busbar switchgear is definitely easier to
operate and maintain, requires less space and the
total cost of the installation is lower (equipment,
site procedures, maintenance, footprint etc.).
The use of double busbar switchgear may be
necessary when some of the following features
are required:
• Operation of incoming feeders with non-
synchronised circuit-breakers
• Load shedding of outgoing feeders with a
different level of importance during emergency
conditions This solution has two main advantages :
• Isolation of particular outgoing feeders from • Incoming feeders and the most important
the normal network outgoing feeders can be equipped with two
• Outgoing feeders balancing on two busbar circuit-breakers in order to allow apparatus
systems during normal service redundancy
• Flexibility during inspection and maintenance • Circuit-breaker maintenance and testing
procedures without load interruption without feeder shutdown
• Extension without switchgear shutdown • Fewer number of components and less
• The double busbar system is based on the switching apparatus
following scheme:
• Two busbar systems, two circuit-breakers Thanks to the numerous standard units available,
compartments with one or two circuit breakers the switchgear can be suitably configured to

This scheme provide full busbar system
