10kV Outdoor Busbar Bridge Support Spacing
Adequate spacing prevents short circuits and enhances system safety: Bare copper busbars: Minimum clearance ≥20mm to avoid phase-to-phase or phase-to-ground faults. Insulated busbars: Insulation allows for reduced clearance but must meet IEC 60664or UL 746Cdielectric strength. From time to time we are asked what bus spacings are required by ANSI standards for switchgear. It defines the minimum distances between live parts and between live parts and earthed metal parts.

Our bus bar insulation system offers an alternative to cables routed in parallel and enclosed metal bus bar trunking, especially for the transmission of high currents and power, and situations where space is limited.
