The CANALIS ® , 

decentralized 

distribution concept 


With CANALIS ® , you play all the 

right notes! 

Electrical power available at all points, 

throughout the installation. 

Exclusive features of the Schneider Electric system 

Total coordination of the Schneider Electric system provides maximum safety of life 

and property, continuity of service, upgradeability and ease of installation. 

Total coordination is made easy by the tables in the “Selection Guide”. They help 

you chose the right combination of circuit breakers and busbar trunking. Product 

characteristics are checked by calculations and tests carried out in our laboratories. 

A competitive installation. 

Simplicity, upgradeability, safety and continuity of service and operation. 

Savings start with installation 

With tap-off points every 3 metres, Canalis busbar trunking reduces already 

installation costs. 

Given the low cost of adding new circuits, savings increase as the number of loads 

increases, a natural consequence of the growth of your business. 

Upgradeable during operation 

In decentralised distribution, evolving operating requirements and costs are 

integrated right from the start. 

b The addition, relocation or replacement of load equipment can be carried out 

quickly, without de-energising the supply trunking or shutting down operation 

b The cost of making such changes is greatly reduced: 

v loads are located close to supply points, 

v tap-off points are always available, 

v tap-units can be reused or new ones added quickly for load relocation or 

replacement needs. 

Reusable in the event of major changes 

When making major modifications to your installation, the existing trunking can be 

easily dismantled and reused.

Safety of life and property 

Example: 

Consequences of a fire in a 100 m 2 office with 

electrical distribution by cables. 

200 kg of cables (i.e. 20 kg of PVC) produces:

Health 

CANALIS ® , in total harmony with 

the environment! 

With CANALIS ® , no risk in case of fire 

The busbar trunking has a low combustible load. Its construction uses very little 

consumable material and is halogen free. 

In the event of a fire, the busbar trunking does not emit any gas or toxic smoke. 

An inherent fire barrier, the busbar trunking helps prevent the propagation of a 

fire through partition walls and floors for a duration of 2 hours. 

Halogen-sensitive applications 

Public buildings (infrastructures, hospitals schools etc.). 

Buildings with evacuation difficulties (high-rises, ships, etc.) and service-activity 

buildings. 

Sensitive processes (production of electronic components, etc.). 

CANALIS ® b

contains no PVCs 

When PVC’s burn, they produce large amounts of smoke that can be a serious 

safety hazard. 

b Reduced visibility 

v risk of panic 

v complicates rescue work 

b Smoke toxicity 

v hydrogen chloride gas (highly toxic) 

v carbon monoxide (danger of asphyxiation). 

CANALIS ® reduces the risk of exposure to electromagnetic 

fields 

According to the WHO (World Health Organisation), exposure to electromagnetic 

fields can be a health hazard starting at levels as low as 0.2 micro-Teslas and 

could represent a long-term risk of cancer. Some countries have created standards 

that stipulate limits (e.g. 0.2 NT at 1 metre in Sweden). 

All electrical conductors generate magnetic fields proportional to the distance 

between them. The design of CANAlIS ® busbar trunking with tightly spaced 

conductors in a metal enclosure helps to considerably reduce radiated 

electromagnetic fields. 

The electromagnetic field characteristics of CANAlIS ® busbar trunking are well 

defined and measurements show that they are far below potentially dangerous 

levels.

CANALIS ® is fully recyclable 

CANAlIS ® busbar trunking can be reused. 

CANAlIS ® busbar trunking is designed for a long service life and can easily be 

dismantled, cleaned and reused. 

All packaging materials can be recycled (cardboard or recyclable galvanized 

protection covers).

products are designed for safe end-of-life recycling. PVC, on the 

other hand, requires neutralisation of the hydrochloric acid produced using lime 

and generates dioxins that are extremely toxic. 

CANALIS ® helps conserve natural resources 

The depletion of raw materials (copper, plastics, etc.) is one of our ongoing 

concerns. 

For this reason, we have optimised the used of all materials used to make our 


b Reduction of dangerous or polluting materials. We design our products to meet 

future European directives. 

b Reduction in the weight of insulating materials. 

b Reduction in the use of plastics for improved fire performance: less energy 

released during combustion, thereby limiting propagation and facilitating extinction 

(lower calorific value). 

CANALIS ® reduces your line losses by 40 

CANALIS ® divides your consumption of copper and insulation 

by a factor of three 

The cost of an electrical installation includes the initial investment for the 

equipment and its installation, the cost of maintenance and the cost of energy 

losses during operation. 

The cross-sections of our products are dimensioned to minimise the total cost of 

your installation over a 3-year period for medium intensity use (30 % load level, 5 

days a week and 10 hours a day).

A compact solution 

A simple and economical 

system 

CANALIS ® KH-KG, a display of 

advantages! 

b The compact size of Canalis KH-KG means it takes up very little space in the 

building: 

v used as a rising main, it takes up only a minimum of space, 

v used for horizontal distribution, it fits easily into the building’s structure (false 

floors, false ceilings, service shafts, etc). 

b Changes in direction have been designed to optimise the space taken up, 

contrary to an equivalent installation using cables which requires large bending 

radii. 

b Tap-off units, complete with protective devices, are fitted along the busbar 

trunking thus reducing the floor taken up by the electrical distribution swichboards. 

b The design study is easy to perform as it does not require a detailed layout of 

each load. Equipment choice is pre-determined and optimised. 

b Installing the busbar trunking requires 2 or 3 people only, for a time equivalent 

to that for installing cableways. The time normally needed for laying cables is 

therefore saved. 

b The tap-off units can be prepared in the workshop thus reducing on-site time. 

Their connection to the busbar trunking is done in a single plugging-on operation. 

b Installing busbar trunking lengths can be done as and when building work 

progresses, thus optimising on-site work and allowing possible unexpected events 

to be anticipated in advance. 

b Tap-off units, complete with protective devices, are fitted along the entire length 

of the busbar trunking thus reducing the floor area taken up by the electrical 

distribution switchboards. 

b 

It is also important to note that busbar trunking is a factory tested solution, 

meaning the time needed for inspecting connections is reduced (visual inspection 

of tightening torque). 


Complete safety 

Operating continuity 

A large range of tap-off units 


CANALIS ® KH-KG, a display of 

advantages! 

b Busbar trunking temperature rise and short-circuit withstand are known and, 

independent of the installation. Coordination of the Schneider Electric system 

results in complete control of the electrical network. 

b Installation standards UTE C 15-105 chapter B.6.2 and IEC 60 364 chapter 

5.523.6 stipulate that above 4 parallel cables, it is preferable to use busbar 

trunking. Paralleling many cables leads to uneven distribution of currents and the 

risk of abnormal temperature rise. 

b The busbar trunking and tap-off units are designed to guarantee the safety of 

personnel and equipment: 

v plug-in connections to silver-plated copper bars, 

v bolted connections with tightening torque guaranteed by torque nuts, 

v foolproof system to avoid the risk of assembly errors, 

v access to live parts have IPxxC protection (2,5 mm wire diameter). 

Its metal enclosure and protection degree protect the busbar trunking from all 

external aggressions (corrosion, rodents, etc). 

When working on the electrical installation, the busbar trunking provides immediate 

readability of the electrical circuit thus allowing the appropriate zone to be quickly 

identified. 

Tap-off units can be plugged-on and off without the need for a shutdown; service 

continuity is thus irreproachable. 

The quality of the electrical contacts guarantees maintenance free operating 

continuity.

CANALIS® KH-KG from 1000 to 6300 A 


and transport 

KH and KG busbar trunking lengths are designed to carry an distribute high power, in normal operating conditions, in 

industrial, commercial or service buildings. 

The conductors are made of aluminium (KHF) for currents of 1000 to 5500 A, divided into 11 ratings, or copper (KGF) 

for currents of 1600 to 6300 A, divided into 5 ratings. 

Live conductors are said to be”sandwiched”, as show on 

the drawing opposite. This configuration reduces 

eletrodynamic forces in the event of short-circuits. 

Furthermore, the conductors are held in place by isolators, 

mechanically independent from the sheet steel structure, 

which counteracts these forces. The conductors are 

insulated by a polyester film. The neutral conductor is 

indentified by a blue ring inside the busbar trunking. 

The top and bottom of the casing comprises covers in grey 

Ral 7032 paint finished sheet steel with perforations. The 

sides are made of galvanised sheet steel C-shaped rails. 

These are use as protective conductors and every joint is 

made in such a way as to ensure efficient conductivity. 

A system with enforced protective conductors can be 

produced ( see enforced protective conductor and options). 

These busbars trunking lengths are ventilated, which enables optimum usage of the conductive part. 

They are designed to be flat-mounted, though it is possible to mount them edgewise. In this case, natural convection is no longer possible, 

and the busbar trunking must be derated (see characteristics on page 31). 


There are two types of straight length: 

p Type EA, designed as feeder trunking. Tap-offs can be made at each joint. These straight lengths are manufactured in 

3 or 5 metre sizes. They can be made to measure any length between 1 and 3 metres. 

p Type ED, for distribution. Tap-offs can be made at joints as well as along the length using tap-off outlets (3 for a 3 metre 

length, 5 for a 5 metre length). 

These outlets are fitted with shutters preventing foreign matter entering when no unit is fitted. With the shutters open, 

the IP 2 degree of protection is maintained. 

Connecting straight lengths 

N L3 L2 L1 


The electrical connection of lengths is performed by bolting the 

lengths together. Tin plates are welded at the ends of the 

conductors. 

The plates are bolted together. When there are several bars 

per phase, bars which have the same polarity are connected 

using “equipotential blocks”. The bolts must tightened to a 

torque of 4,5 daN.m. This torque is automatically reached 

when the breakable head of the bolt snaps off. 

This type of jointing is used for mounting fixed tap-off units 

(type SB). 

It is therefore possible to add tap-off units to an existing 

installation without modifying the lengths.

Electrical contacts 

KH-KG busbar trunking uses two types of contacts: 

- Bolded contacts for the connection of the lengths and bold-on tap-off units. 

The surface is tined. 

- Jaw contacts for the connection of the plug-in tap-off units. These contacts have a surface of silvered copper. 

Expansions 

p Expansion of the straight lengths 

All lengths of 3 m and more are fitted with an expansion joint wich absorbs the differential expansion between the busbars and the 

casing. 

The expansion joints are located in the centre of the 3 and 5 metre trunking lengths, and are composed of flexible laminates in the same metal 

as the conductors. The set of busbars are clamped at each end of the trunking length to orientate the expansion towards the expansion joint. 

p Building expansion unit 

This is a straight length available 3 m length only. This unit has a double expansion joint which allow for the differential 

expansion between the busbar and the casing and between the casing and the building. 

It is mounted across a building expansion joint. 

It is fixed on either side of the building expansion joint in order to firmly attach it to the building. 

This enables any force to be diverted to the expansion joint of the trunking length. 

p Fire barrier 

KH or KG busbar trunking lengths (exept ED lengths) can have a 2-hour rating fire barrier. (CSTB report N°759389C).The 

fire barrier must be positioned in the centre of the floor slab or wall in order to prevent the spreading of fire to other levels. 

Connections 

There are two types of units for connecting trunking to various types of equipment (transformer, distribution boards, 

circuit-breakers, etc.).

The flange unit is reserved for sizes KHF-14, 16 and 18 

and KGF-16. It provides a simple solution for any 

connection at the trunking run. 

The bars are always made of copper, no matter what 

type of busbar trunking (KHF or KGF) to which the end 

cover is attached. 

Whether the trunking is 3P or 3P + N + PE, the flanged 

unit is always 3P + N + PE. 

These units connect trunking from the end, from below or 

from above. 

A wide variety of type of connection is offered by varying 

the orientation and fixing centres of the bars as well as the 

position of the units on the trunking. 

The busbars are always copper.

Riser lengths 

Riser lengths 

Fixing brackets 

p This is the basic unit, of a similar design to horizontal 

trunking, and includes: 

- a differential busbar/casing expansion joint for any 

length, 

- a 2 hour rating fire barrier (CSTB test report N° 759389X), 

at the point where the trunking passes through the 

floor slab. 

The length is generally equal to the height of the floor 

to which it is to be fitted. 

The reference label should always be located on the 

top left of each length. This enables the tap-off unit 

covers to be opened downwards. 

There are two types of riser lengths: 

p Type VA 

Designed for use as feeder trunking without tap-off 

outlets between joints. 

p Type VD 

Designed for use as distribution trunking with two tapoff 

outlets between joints. 

Wall support brackets 

There are two versions: 

p For bottom thrust and intermediate thrust units. 

These receive flanges on the lengths and enable the fixing 

and adjustement of the trunking in relation to the wall. The 

correct installation of these brackets ensure the accurate 

positioning of the fire barriers along the rising mains. It is 

imperative that the fixing dimensions are strictly observed. 

p For the top suspension unit 

This bracket, whose support plate is not slotted receives 

the adjustement screws for the length. 

Guide brackets 

These are designed to guide the colomn in relation to the

Determining the rating according to the temperature rise 

The nominal current of a busbar trunking, represents the maximum intensity of the constant current which the trunking can 

continuously support, when the average ambient temperature is 35 °C, and in accordance with normal temperature rise. 

Determining the rating according to the temperature rise consist of selecting the busbar trunking rating immediately 

above the operating current of the installation. However, the intensity of the current which crosses a busbar trunking 

generally varies continuously. The operating current is therefore defined as that of the constant current which produces 

the same thermal effects as the actual current. 

It is sometimes difficult to determine the operating current, especially when no reading has been made on the existing 

installation or an equivalent installation. 

However, the operating current is estimated with sufficient precision by calca-ulating the product of the sum of the 

nominal currents of receivers connected to the busbar trunking y a coefficient know as the “average demand 

coefficient”. 

The average demand coefficient is empirically determined by comparison with existing installations. 

It is dependant upon: 

- the average quantity of machines operating, 

- the load variation of each machine (a machine rarely absorbs its maximum power, as peak periodes alternate with 

those of no-load operation). 

- whether several machines are operating at the same time, whether peaks are superimposed and their duration. 

As an example, here are a few coefficients for a general mechanical engineering workshop: 

Number of receivers 2 or 3 4 or 5 6 to 9 10 to 40 40 plus 

Average demand coefficient 0,9 0,8 0,7 0,6 0,5 

Depending on the ambient temperature and installation conditions of the busbar trunking, they must be up-rated or 

derated: see page 31 Characteristics. 

Checking the rating according to the permissible voltage drop 

The permissible voltage drop is that which is compatible with the correct operation of receivers refer to the 

manufacturers manuals). 

Read the voltage drop in V/100m/A in the tables on page 31 for the busbar trunking selected according to the 

temperature rise. Determine the voltage drop for the most disadvantaged receivers (those which are the furthest from 

the source) and for the highest current. 

Repeat the checking procedure with the new rating. 

Checking the rating according to the withstand to short-circuit currents 

Calculate the short-circuit current at the points which are considered to be unfavourable 

Check, by referring to the tables on pages 31 “Characteristics”, that the selected rating of the busbar trunking enables 

it to withstand this short-circuit current. If not, there are two possible solutions: 

- select busbar trunking of a higher rating and repeat the checking procedure 

- provide a protection system which limits currents peaks. 

Example of selecting the rating of busbar trunking 

The table below enables the rating of the KH (aluminium conductors) or KG (copper conductors) busbar trunking and 

the supply circuit-breakers (Merlin Gerin) to be determined according to the power of the transformer.

Enforced protective conductor 

Enforced protective conductor 

The protective conductor for lengths KHF and KGF is provided by the casing, its characteristics are as follows: 

- Resistance: 0.175 mΩ/m to 20°C 

- Equivalent copper cross-section: 105 mm2 

- Equivalent aluminium cross-section: 172 mm 2 

We supply trunking lengths with a protective conductor with a cross-section which is increased by the addition of 

copper bars, 120 mm2 = option 2 (see options on page 80) 

If the protective conductor provided by the casing + option 2 does not satisfy, then we can provide a busbar trunking 

with an extra bar for the protective conductor – enforced PE ➞ PER 

This extra conductor is placed in a wider housing. This busbar system is only provided in 3P + N + PER 

Reference PER: Rating % PER

The protective conductor for lengths KHF is provided by the casing, its characteristics are as follows: 

- resistance : 0,175 mΩ/m to 20 °C. 

- equivalent copper cross-section: 105 mm 2, 

- equivalent aluminium cross-section: 172 mm 2. 

We supply trunking lengths with a protective conductor with a cross-section which is increased by the addition of copper 

bars. 

Option 2 Additional copper earth 120 mm 2 

Option 3 PE-Neutral link for TNC network 



Options: presentation, protective conductor 

The cross-section of the protective 

conductor is increased by 120 mm 2 by 

adding four copper bars with a 20 x 3 

cross-section. 

In the TNC layout the busbat trunking 

neutral is used as a PEN conductor. Its 

cross-section can be the same as or 

half of that of the phases. 

The metallic earth of the casing must 

be linked to the PEN conductor at each 

joint using a connection supplied with 

option 3. 

This connection can be supplied 

separately under the reference 

KH0-00PEN.

Options 

Rating change 

The rating can be reduced along the line. When the number of bars per phase is identical for the two ratings, the lengths 

are compatible. When the number of bars per phase is different, a transitional length must be used. 

All busbar lengths (straight lengths, elbows or zed units) can take the rating change option. The lower rated length is 

referenced and the option added to it. 

The reduction always takes place on the side opposite the reference. 

Option M: reduction on the reference end 

Option N: reduction on the end opposite the reference

to KHF-16, on a 3m straight length 3L 

+ N + PE. 

KHF-16EA13AN 

N = KHF-26 

Standard treatment is suitable for the majority of applications: 

- the “C” rails and the insulator supports are in galvanized sheet steel. 

- The protective grills, joint covers, feed units and tap-off units are in sheet steel painted with RAL colour 7032 

(treatment: alkaline cleaning, phosphatation, epoxy polyester powder 50µ and fired at 140°C). 

Option E Special RAL colour 



Options: Rating change, Special colour of the casing 

Reference

example below. 

Example: from RAL 6720 

KHF-26EA05AE 

E = RAL 6720 

Option H Special RAL colour on joint covers only 

In certain cases, for example in order to identify lines, the joint cover can be painted in a different shade. 

This option enables the user to choose a colour from the RAL range for the joint cover only. State the reference of the 

chosen shade as indicated in the example below. 

KHF-26EA05AH 

H = RAL 6720 


Options 

It is sometimes necessary to invert the direction of the fishplates for ease of mounting. For example if part of a trunking 

runs is located very close to the ceiling, with the fishplates underneath. On another part or the run the SB units are 

mounted with the fishplates uppermost. 

In order to achieve this inversion, there are two types of length (straight or elbow): 

- lengths with short-short reference side 

- lengths with long-long reference side 

Option C: length with short-short reference side 

N L3 L2 L1 

Reference 

Option L: length with long-long reference side

N L3 L2 L1 

Example : 

A straight length with aluminium conductor, 

1200 A rating, standard 

length, type shot-short 

KHF-16EA13AC 

The length has two reference labels 

and reference sides. The fishplates 

are inverted. 

Example : 



length, type long-long 

KHF-16EA13AL 

The length has no reference labels. 

The fishplates are inverted. 

To facilitate certain direct connections, for example to a transformer or panel, it is possible to invert the direction of the 

fishplates without inverting the phase sequence. 

Option Y: inversion on reference side 

Option Z: inversion on reference side

Options High power busbar trunking 


Options: Tap-off outlets, Non ventilated casing 

Inversion of tap-off outlets (on type ED 3 m and 5 m lengths) 

Option D: 

If accessibility is a problem, it is possible to have tap-off outlets on the lower side of the busbar trunking. Their position 

is the same in relation to the joint axis of the reference end. 

Example: 

1 KHF26ED13AD 

Additional tap-off outlet (on type EA lengths) 

Optie U 

Within the limits of the size of the length, 1 or 2 tap-off outlets can be added to EA lengths of between 1440 mm and 

2999 mm. 

It is also possible to add one or two tap-off outlets to the variable part of riser lengths. 

Example 1, one additional tap-off outlet (1440 < L < 2220)) 

KH26EA1BAU 

L = 1500 

Example 2, two additional tap-off outlets (2220 < L < 2999) 

KHF26EA1CAUU 

L = 2400 

Non ventilated casing 

Option V 

A steel plate is welded along the whole length of the 

ventilated casing 

Remark: when you use this option the busbar trunking 

must be derated with 25 % 

Example: KHF26 with option V becomes 1650 A. 




Options: Factory premounting, vertical mounting fixings, special 

angle on elbow or zed unit 

Mounting feed units, end covers and other additional parts 

These are mounted in the factory. 

The length which receives this feed unit must be labelled with the letter P for mounting at the reference end or R for 

mounting at the end opposite the reference. This labelling must be followed by the number of the feed unit, the end 

cover or the part which is to be mounted on this length. 

Option P: Mounting on the reference side 

Option R: Mounting on the side opposite the reference 

Vertical mounting fixings 

Special angle on elbow or zed unit ( > 90° angle) 

Example : 

Item Qty Reference

Example : 

Item Qty Reference 

01 1 KHF28EA13AR 

P = item 07 

... 

... 

07 1 KH026AC11301 

Option Q 

These fixings can rest on KH0OQZA1 

wall brackets. 

To support a length which is to be 

installed in a vertical position, fixings 

can be fitted to the length. 

These fixings are positioned in 

relation to the axis of the joint in the 

reference side. Min distance 480 mm 

The orientation of the fixing is 

determined according to the position 

of the bottom plate in relation to the 

reference side joint. 

Example: 

KHF26EA1AAQ 

A = 1500 

Q = 600 

Option W 

To follow the required line, parts with 

special angles of between 91° and 

179° can be produced. 

Example: 

KHF26LB1XAW 

X = 650 x 700 

W = 145° 




Options: Flange unit 

Flange unit (on busbar trunking with 1 bar per active conductor) 

On KGF16 busbar trunking, the flanged end feed unit ER can be integrated on straight lengths or special elbows of type 

LB, LC, LE or LF. 

Option A 

The flange unit is located on the 

Reference end 

Example: 

KGF-16EA1AA 

L = 1250 

Example: 

KGF-16LB1XAA 

L = 150 x 500 

Example: 

KGF-16LC1XAA

X = 150 x 500 

Example: 

KGF-16LF1XAA 

X = 150 x 500 

Option B 

The flange unit is located on the end 

opposite the reference 

Example: 

KGF-16EA1AB 

L = 1800 

Example: 

KGF-16LB1XAB 

L = 500 x 150 

Example: 

KGF-16LC1XAB 

X = 500 x 300 

Example: 

KGF-16LE1XAB 

X = 150 x 500 

Example: 

KGF-16LF1XAB

Options: Special joints 

Joints with special distance and special phase sequence 

To facilitate certain direct connections, for example to a transformer or panel, the joint distance can be modified, with a 

minimum distance of 160 mm. 

It is necessary to indicate the phase sequence and fishplate axis dimensions from the centre of the length to the 

outside. Options S and T can be used simultaneously on the same length. 

Option S: special distance on reference end side

Shape 

Each simple shape is distinguished by a group of two letters. 

The shape of a length is always defined from the reference label. 

Dimensions 

Dimensions are always given starting from the trunking joint on the reference label side and in the order of the limbs 

along the busbar trunking length. 

To order? 

The order must be set out on two lines: 

p First line 

Write down the complete reference from this catalogue. 

p Second line 

Write down the dimensions for the made to measure equipement, and where options are selected: 

-- when the reference ends with “X” there are one or more variable values. Write down X = A x B x … from the reference 

and in the order of limbs. 

-- When the 9th letter of the reference is an “A” there is an option. This should be filled in with a variable value. Write 

down X = 650 x 700, W = 145° (example of an elbow which has a special angle of 145° with limbs of 650 mm – on 

reference label side and 700 mm – next limb, see page 91) 


Example: 

A straight length KHF, rating 2500 A 3L + _ N + PE, length 1820 mm, has the following reference: 

KHF-28EA1B 

L = 1820

The nominal length of each limb is measured from the 

connection axis to the axis of the other limb, in mm. 

Example: 

A flat elbow KHF, rating 2200 A, 3L + N + PE, type LC 

length of limb A = 450 mm, limb B = 850 mm, will have the 

following reference: 

KHF-26LC2X 

X = 450 x 850 



Example: 

A edgewise elbow KHF, rating 2500 A, 3L + 1/2N + PE, 

type LE length of limb A = 600 mm, limb B = 500 mm, will 

have the following reference: 

KHF-28LE1X 

X = 600 x 500 



The nominal length of the intermediate limb(s) is 

measured from limb axis to limb axis, in mm. 

Example: 

A edgewise-flat zed unit KHF, rating 2500 A, 3L + 1/2N + 

PE, type NB length of limb A = 536 mm, limb B = 300 mm, 

limb C = 500 mm, will have the following reference: 

KHF-28NB1X 

X = 536 x 300 x 500 

Units type AA, AB The phase sequence is that of the busbar trunking. 

If necessary, indicate, on the second line of the order, the 

distance between the outputs starting from the side 

connected to the busbar trunking. 

Units type AK If necessary, indicate, on the second line of the order, the 

distance between the outputs, followed by the phase 

N 

sequence, starting from the busbar trunking reference 

label side.
