Segregated phase bus duct - The phase conductors are in an enclosure but segregated from

each other.

Non-segregated phase bus duct - The phase conductors are inside an enclosure but not
segregated from each other.

Isolated phase bus duct - The three conductors are in three separate enclosures. This is
normally used for large current applications like connecting alternators to step up power
transformers while the other two above are used for gas insulated substations.
Non-Segregated Phase Bus Duct
Non-segregated phase bus is an assembly of bus conductors with associated connections, joints, and insulating
supports confined within a metal enclosure without interphase barriers. Designed for use on circuits whose
importance requires greater reliability than power cables provide, the bus medium voltage bus is capable of
carrying rated current continuously without exceeding a conductor temperature rise of 65oC above an outside
ambient temperature of 40º.
