Busbar (Bending): Principle

For the purposes of enclosure construction, additional copper items of different forms are required besides the busbar systems. These items must be variable in terms of form, cross-section, and size, and must be able to be adapted to the respective layout situation in the enclosure. Another requirement is that such individually defined copper items must be able to be machined (bending, drilling, milling).

In EPLAN Pro Panel, copper items are realized with the Busbar (bending) function. Such an item is defined by the following:

If a "Busbar (bending)" is placed, individually or following an already placed copper rail, in a layout space, this creates a copper bundle, a grouping of placed copper rails.

Each busbar in the copper bundle has mounting surfaces on all surfaces of straight segments that can be activated automatically or directly and, thus, be used for the placement of other rails.

If a "Busbar (bending)" is brought close to a mounting surface for the purpose of placement, the item will rotate according to the alignment of the mounting surface.
