MAXIAMP^® is a uniquely designed cable bus feeder system package which includes technically selected power cables, a well ventilated aluminum or steel enclosure, all associated hardware, entry fittings, and cable terminations (including an insulation shield and conductor lugs); tailored to be an effective and highly engineered product. This unique lug-to-lug solution simplifies and streamlines the project managers’ task tremendously.

MAXIAMP^® CABLE BUS INSTALLATION ADVANTAGES

Installer Friendly System

The MAXIAMP^® Cable Bus system design is based on the same construction as a ladder type Cable Tray with rungs, which almost all electrical installers are well experienced with in terms of system structural supports, site tailored enclosure adjustments, cable-pulling techniques, positioning and clamping. This provides an installer with a comfort level and the ability to produce a highly reliable and trouble free installation cable power delivery system.

Site Installation Flexibility

The sturdy two level four “I” beam enclosure consisting of wide and smooth cross member cable rungs welded to the “I” beams on both levels, spaced one foot apart, can be cut to any desired length at site with ease and without any concern about long cable support gaps.

Speedy and Simplified Cable Pulling

The smooth short span cable rungs, which provide optimum close proximity cable supports, are designed for straight long cable pulls without the need of installation of a series of cable rollers, normally required to prevent cable damage during cable pulling.

Easy Multi-level Access During and After Installation

Each level of cable rungs are staggered by 6” from level to level to allow for ease in clamping or removing cables at any time during or after installation without the need to dismantle any part of the system.

Quick and Easy Cable Positioning and Securing

The lightweight, one piece pre-formed cable pre-spaced positioning and securing clamp is effectively connected to the rung with an easily positioned spring-loaded bolt and self-centering wing nut that is hand tightened. No tools are required, allowing for ease of installation in both open and limited working spaces.

Cable Clamp Spacing Flexibility

The one piece metal clamp not only serves as an electrically conductive path to the enclosure bonding conductor to ensure a rapid system break in the event of a highly unlikely cable fault, but also allows the installer the flexibility to clamp the cables at any intermediate one foot spaced cable rung if additional clamping is deemed to be necessary by the installer, especially in vertical circuit sections. Cable clamp spacing in horizontal runs is normally every three or four feet.

Installation Ease in Forming Cable Phase Trefoil Configuration

The pre-formed one-piece cable clamps are designed for installer ease and flexibility in forming a rotating cable phase trefoil configuration of the paralleled cables to ensure the lowest possible system reactance through effective cancellation of the cable current generated electromagnetic flux.

Ease of Site Installation Deviations Around Unexpected Circuit Route Obstacles

In many instances installers encounter unexpected obstacles placed in line with the system circuit route unbeknown to the system designer. The MAXIAMP^® system allows the installer to simply and easily deviate around the obstacle with readily available hinged horizontal and vertical adjustable tray enclosure plates.

Easy and Well Protected Installation of MAXIAMP^® System Bonding Conductors Within Enclosure

Stranded bare copper bonding conductors are easily pulled over the top level of the smooth cable rungs throughout the circuit length and connected to the inside wall of one of the top MAXIAMP^® enclosure “I” beam with supplied compatible ground clamps. Installation within the enclosure is not only easier but eliminates the risk of unanticipated removal, metal theft, as well as excessive exposure to corrosion.

Easy, Quick, and Reliable Installation of Pre-Designed and Assembled Dust and Weatherproof Entrance Plates.

Pre-designed, pre-drilled, and pre-assembled circuit end entrance plates, complete with pre-positioned and assembled dust and weatherproof cable entrance connectors, gasketing, pre-drilled attachment holes including connecting hardware are provided for an easy, quick and reliable entrance installation

Easy Installation of Enclosure Top Covers

The system enclosure indoor louver ventilated flat covers and the peaked roof outdoor covers, which the latter is designed to effectively allow rainfall to wash any accumulation of debris or dust off, are easily and quickly installed with metal tap screws provided. In addition, for system safety, during and after installation, the louvered covers disallow entry of any penetrable objects at greater than 45 degrees off horizontal.

MAXIAMP^® Cable Bus Feeder Systems are well ventilated and qualifies for the free air rating and can carry higher ampacities that cannot be achieved by other installation types such as conduits, bus ducts, and direct burial.

The overall cost savings using the MAXIAMP^® Cable Bus Feeder Systems can be upto 20% over other equivalent feeder systems due to ease of installation and free air rating.

The MAXIAMP^® Cable Bus allows the venting of corrosive, explosive or toxic gases instead of trapping them along the circuit as conduits and duct banks do. Trapping of such gases provides a significant path for conduction of flames and fumes which can pose a great safety risk.

MAXIAMP^® Cable Bus Feeder Systems allow ease of access for maintenance. The ability to perform periodic visual inspections with minimal disruptions allows the system to operate at peak efficiency throughout the lifetime of the system.

Whether you consider direct burial, duct banks or even conduits, MAXIAMP^® Cable Bus take up far less space (due to our free air rating and innovative design), allowing more cable to be placed within a given footprint.

Designed to simply and easily accommodate additional cables per phase for increased load requirements.
