Available in 25, 40 and 63A ratings in both 4 and 6 pole (63A 4 pole, lighting application only – details
on request), the LUX range gives a varied choice of trunking lengths and pole configurations. With an
IP41 rating (IP55 available) the strong aluminium housing supports both suspended or bolt-on lighting.
The tap-off unit is a simple plug-in arrangement, can be supplied with or without cable fitted and is
phase interchangeable – a useful feature of Eaton’s Mempower LUX.
A simple push fit electromechanical joint with single screw fixing, reliant on alignment for minimum
electrical interference makes installation fast and simple. This is very effective due to its simple method
of jointing with flexibility for commercial installations. It is recommended that a universal fixing bracket
is used every 2m maximum. The LUX range influences a choice of end feeds, flexible lengths and accessories.
The maximum recommended run length for the Lux product is 99 metres. Where building movement is
2
a consideration, then a flexible joint is recommended every 30 metres to prevent movement of lengths.

Eaton’s Mempower LP range is available in 40, 63, 80, 100 & 125A ratings. The attractively styled housing is
manufactured from extruded aluminium giving a degree of protection to IP41.
The moulded interlocking covers provide support and insulation for the five copper conductors - 3 phase with
separate full size neutral and integral earth conductors. The fifth bar can be specified as a clean earth where
required, for example in computer applications.
In these circumstances, the aluminium housing provides a separate protective earth.
Supplied in 3 metre lengths (other lengths available on request) the trunking can be end or centre fed
(switched on 40, 63 and 80A) and is supplied complete with connection blocks for jointing to adjacent
lengths or fittings. Three positions for tapping are provided in every metre allowing easy access to tap-off
locations via a range of switches and overcurrent protective devices which include MCBs, HRC fuses and
RCDs. Tap-off units can be provided with BS4343 or BS1363 sockets.

Joint cover/outlet seal LPJC
For 125, 160, 250, 400, 630A and 800A applications Eaton’s Mempower MP system is the natural
extension to the LP range. Assembly of the pre-fabricated units is made easy with the housing offering
IP41 protection as standard (IP54e Tin plated versions available on request). The aluminium profile with
interlocking, flame retardant moulded covers provide both support and segregation for the five
conductors and includes tapping outlets every third of a metre. The fifth bar can be used as a clean
earth when specified, in which case the aluminium profile provides a separate protective earth.
A full size neutral is incorporated.
A wide range of metalclad tap-off units including switch disconnectors, fuse units, MCCBs, fuse
combination switches and MCBs are available along with a large selection of angles and components.
For riser applications it is recommended that a block bar is fitted every 9 metres and it is fitted integral
to the straight length. 630A and 800A have a block bar integrally fitted.
The New 800A version incorporates a new single bolt joint connection facility, complete with a torque
set spanner, which preset the connection torque on installation. These torque spanners are available for
future maintenance as a separate item. The New 800A joint pack also allows removal of installed
lengths without disturbing the rest of the installation, making flexibility lengths much easier.

incorporate (five) conductors, one of which is an integral earth conductor which does not rely on the busbar trunking case for
earth continuity.
Technical details
Fire resisting barriers are provided within the trunking where the enclosure passes through fire-rated floor or wall positions. The
fire barriers are manufactured from approved intumescent blocks in order to form a barrier of not less than 125mm thick.
Power tap-off points are provided at 333mm intervals on one side of the trunking and are fully shrouded by automatic shutters
(“finger-safe”) to prevent accidental contact with live parts. The shutters are operated by inserting and removing the tap-off units.
When a change of direction occurs in a busbar run, manufacturers purpose made fittings are used, especially flexible elements to
take up elevations in building walls etc.
Fixing brackets are supplied by the manufacturer for suspension, or wall mounting, at a distance of 1.5m unless stated differently
in the drawing/schedules.
Tapping Units
Tapping boxes are “plug-in” type fitted with HRC fuses, MCB’s, RCB’s, or socket outlets (BS1363 or BS4343) as detailed on the
drawings/specifications. The tapping boxes are designed and manufactured so that the current carrying conductors are not
exposed during insertion or removal.
The tapping box enclosures are manufactured from reinforced Thermoplastic Polyester resin, flammability grade UL94 V-O.
A safety device is fitted to ensure non-reversibility when connecting to the Busbar.

Technical details
Eaton’s Mempower XP busbar trunking system
Typical Specification
The busbar trunking in ratings from 500–6300A, is of approved manufacture, designed for use as a rising main and horizontal
power distribution system for both commercial and industrial applications. Current ratings are as detailed on the drawings/schedules
and comply to a degree of protection IP41, as defined in IEC60529 (BSEN60529) and capable of an advanced level of protection to IP54.
Eaton’s busbar trunking system is designed and manufactured to comply with IEC60439-2 and BSEN60439-2 standards and
suitable for use in 415V, 3 phase, 4 wire, 50Hz supply, taking into consideration the requirements of BS 7671 (IEE Wiring
Regulations). The system is supplied as factory assembled units, which are rigid in construction and symmetrical in appearance.
Trunking section ends are asymmetrical in order to prohibit phase reversal of adjacent sections. The joint between adjacent
trunking lengths rated from 500–2500A is formed by overlapping the conductors. Whereas the joint between adjacent trunking
lengths rated from 3200–6300A is formed by a removable joint pack. Insulator plates are provided within the joints to isolate each
phase conductor joint. With all exposed plastic components made from Low Smoke Halogen Free material, flammability grade
UL94 V-O. The integral joint and busbar construction form a combined structure sufficiently rigid to be supported on specified
centres.
Deforming the Busbar casing shall not compromise joint integrity. The Busbar casing has no ventilating openings. Horizontal or
vertical hangers are provided as required. Feeder, Distribution and Rising Mains section are interchangeable.
A non-shuttered outlet version is available as standard and are finger safe (IP2X) to prevent accidental contact with live parts. As
standard this tap off outlet style is supplied with a screw fixed cover giving upto IP54 protection.
On request a tap off outlet with an integral shutter that will automatically open upon fitting of a tapping unit is also available. It is
possible to position tap off outlets to the customers specification. These tap off outlets meet IEC60529 (BSEN60529) IP4X
requirements without the need for an additional screw fixed cover. These tap off outlets are also available to IP54 requirements
incorporated in IP54 Distribution trunking.
Tapping units are designed so that all accessories required to attach the unit to the trunking are captive. Switched Tapping units
are of the safety type, so interlocked with the trunking housing that they cannot be added or removed unless the switching
mechanism is “OFF”. As standard this electrical interlock is not fitted unless requested.
A safety device is fitted to ensure non-reversibility when connecting to the busbar.
Switched Tapping units are equipped with highly visible red/green indicator to indicate “ON/OFF” position of the switching
mechanism. The “ON/OFF” indicator also uses the international symbols for identifying “ON” (I) and “OFF” (O).
