Adjusting the size
The conductor rail system should be built using as many standard components as possible. The total length of a conductor rail
system built using standard (L
STD
) is made up of the following elements:
L
STD
= End segment (first section) + n (conn power rails) + con end segment (end section).
The power rails must not be seamlessly connected to each other. The connectors must not be fully inserted into the conductor rails,
but with a 2.5 mm wide gap between the conductor rail's arrester and the power rails with a tolerance of 1 mm on each side. This
tolerance means that it is not possible to calculate the conductor rail's exact length in advance.
The Annex contains a table showing the possible total minimum and maximum system lengths when using standard components
(L
STD
), see section 13.1.
In most cases, it is not actually possible to achieve the actual length required (projected length
L
P
) by connecting standard
components (
L
STD
) in series. The projected length (L
P
) is achieved by adding X [mm] to the next smallest length achievable with
standard components L
STD
:
L
P
= L
STD
+ X
Turning this equation around makes it easier to calculate X:
X = L
P –
L
STD
X
= 1 con the last conductor bar.
→
If X is less than 302.5 mm
(2.5 mm connector, 300 mm power rail), the
conductor bar in front of the last one has to be
shortened as well
.
CAUTION!
Check the number of conductor bars!
Double check the number of conductor bars before installation.
Once the section before the last one has been fitted, it can be difficult and time-consuming to cut
because the conductor rail cannot be removed without permanently damaging the connector.
CAUTION!
Make sure that the hanger clamps are fitted at the correct intervals, see section 6.2.3.
