The ideal segregated bus duct solution for rugged applications 

Avail’s segregated bus duct systems are built to deliver decades of reliable service in some of the most hostile environments. The innovative design of Avail’s segregated bus ensures effective performance with minimal maintenance.

Our segregated bus supports voltages ranging from 600 to 38kV and ampere ratings up to 10,000 amps. The design uses single-phase conductors in a common enclosure with metal barriers between phases. This versatile design allows for the mounting of copper or aluminum insulated conductors on molded polyester porcelain post insulators. The 3-phase, 4-wire system (available in both full and half neutrals) enhances and suitability for diverse needs.

Segregated bus engineered for reliable performance in industrial and power generation environments

Innovative isolated phase bus duct systems to meet global demands

Around the world, Avail’s medium voltage isolated phase bus duct systems are deployed in a wide range of critical applications that require the highest degree of reliability. For decades, plants and facilities have relied on Avail’s expertise in custom-designed solutions to deliver unmatched performance in iso phase bus ducts.

Avail isolated phase bus systems, used as generator main leads extending to GSU transformers and excitation service/auxiliary transformers, offer a cost-effective, fully integrated solution for multiple applications, including hydro plants, nuclear power stations, combined cycle power plants, fossil plants, and renewable plants. 

The advantages of a value-based iso phase bus duct partner

As a single-source provider, Avail offers cost efficiency not available with other isolated phase bus system suppliers. Our welded in-plant elbows and t-taps are easier to install, reducing field costs. Additionally, our extensive shipping capabilities, including transporting 40-foot sections with all three phases on a single skid, further reduce field costs.

Engineered for optimal performance in isolated phase bus systems

With Avail’s advanced design, each phase in our isolated bus duct is mounted in individual enclosures. The conductors are air insulated and supported in the center phase enclosures by strategically arranged insulators. This safer approach ensures maximum system integrity by eliminating phase-to-phase short circuits. Our insulated saddle supports prevent current induction in steelwork, cables, pipes, or other metal structures. Avail can design and install the entire isolated phase bus system, including interfaces with major manufacturers of generators, generator circuit breakers, and transformers.
