To supply data centres with flexible, secure and redundant power, busbar systems are the best choice

The Anord Mardix Databar busbar system is a truly unique open channel modular busway system targeted at rack power distribution in data centers. The system has been developed by Anord Mardix, a Flex company, to be super compact and features patent applied for innovations in the integral coupling system for installing and extending the busway and tap-off actuator mechanisms. Data centre operators can rest assured that they not only have the ability to add tap-offs as needed but also to easily extend or re-configure the buswaysystem over their white space

Anord Mardix Databar busbar: Two sizes that cover all ratings

Safe and simple were at the heart of Databar’s development which is why there are only two sizes that cover all ratings from, one size for 160A-630A and a second for 800A-1000A. Both sizes use a unique low-profile housing to accommodate 4 and 5 pole systems whilst still maintaining the smallest footprint design. Extending the busway requires no separate joint pack. Fully factory tested busway assemblies feature custom integrated connectors that provide true plug-n-play functionality.

Unique actuation system of the Databar datahall busway system ensures that no load is connected during the engage operation

The tap-off engage operation is carried out in two simple steps. Firstly, the tap-off box is installed on the busway and secondly, a unique actuation system which not only controls the tap-off contacts but interlocks with the tap-off’s switching device to ensure that no load is connected during the engage operation. Databar’s market leading range of tap-offs are super compact and thanks to the small form factor busway design and actuation system, only require 30mm of mounting clearance – the industry’s smallest!
