6.2 Busbars
6.2.1 The busbar compartment shall contain the following:
– The main busbars
– The two–position upstream disconnector switch
– The tee–off connections.
6.2.2 The main busbars shall link the contiguous functional units without using
intermediate partitions in order to have a continuous duct.
6.2.3 The electrical connections between the various individual sections of
busbars/busducts and between them and other parts of switchgear shall be made

6.2.4 All conductor connections between bus bar sections shall be of sliding contact
type with multi–finger plug, in order to absorb the conductor longitudinal, thermal
expansion.
6.2.5 The fixed contacts and the fingers of the movable section shall be silvered coated
to reduce the contact resistance and minimize the production of metallic dust.
6.2.6 All connections and conductors shall be capable of carrying the continuous
current, without exceeding the temperature specified in IEC 60694, subclause
4.4.2. The conductors and connections shall be capable of withstanding the
electrodynamic forces under short circuit conditions.
6.2.7 Removable sections located on busbars, between adjacent compartments, shall
be provided for easy dismantling/reassembling facilities.
6.2.8 All insulators shall be made of cast resin with alumina filler in order to prevent
chemical attack from the SF6 decomposition products.

during a long period of time and to withstand the expected maximum
phase–to–earth voltage with SF6 gas at atmospheric pressure.
6.3.10 The thickness of the enclosures shall prevent a melt–through or puncturing of the
enclosure, with the maximum single–phase short–circuit current stated on the
Data Sheet. The possibility of arc traveling may be considered in this respect and
