Description
The AKAPP 4-Ductor
conductor system is a compact,
reliable and safe power supply
for cranes, hoisting equipment,
monorail systems, conveyor belts
etc.
The basic design of the 4-Ductor
is a channel housing, in which
four slots are prepared to accomodate
copper conductors. The flat
conductors are installed without
the need for joints. Thanks
to the design of the 4-Ductor
and its continuous conductors,
the system offers unique features
as listed below.
FEATURES Continuous
copper conductors The
flat copper conductors can be
pulled from rolls into the previously
installed PVC housing in long
continuous lengths, without
any connections in the conductor.
High current capacity
Copper conductors of various
capacities can be pulled into
the channels in the housing.
Standard conductor capacities
are 35, 50, 80, 125 and 160A.
Simple
installation Due to the
light weight of the PVC housing,
copper conductors without connections
and the design of accessory
components, system installation
is a quick and easy operation.
Volt
drop absolute minimum
and constant due to continuous
copper conductors, thus avoiding
problems associated with added
resistance at joints and increased
volt drop characteristics when
joints loosen or corrode.
Virtually
maintenance free The
PVC housing needs no maintenance
and as previously mentioned
continuous copper conductors
ensure minimal brush wear. Thus
minimising the presence of carbon
deposits. Inspection periods
can be scheduled in line with
the schedule of the apparatus
to be fed (i.e. a crane).
Compact
design By virtue of design,
the 4-Ductor system utilises
an absolute minimum of space.
High
mechanical strength The
PVC housing has a combination
of high flexural yield, impact
and tensile strength and is
complimented by the design of
associated components.
Maximum
power transmission The
brushes are positively located
in the PVC housing and contact
with the copper conductors is
maintained by spring pressure.
This guarantees a positive contact
and excellent power transmission.
Exceptional
long carbon brush life
is achieved due to the absence
of conductor joints and connections
which ensures trouble free operation.
Safety to personnel The
high level of volume resistivity
of the PVC housing ensures absolute
safety to personnel.
No
expansion problems Due
to the clearance that exists
between the conductors and their
location and the clearance between
the PVC housing and sliding
hangers, expansion due to changes
in ambient temperature is accomodated
without affecting the operation
of the system. This also applies
to extra long installations
where standard components eliminate
expansion problems often experienced
with alternative systems.
