Canalis KT

A comprehensive offer

Canalis KT : rising mains

Transport and Distribution from 800 to 5000A

A new path for achieving your electrical installations

Canalis is part of a comprehensive offer of products that are perfectly
coordinated to meet all medium and low voltage electrical distribution
requirements. All of these products have been designed to work
together: electrical, mechanical and communication compatibility.
The electrical installation is thus both optimised and has improved
performance:
b better service continuity,
b increased personnel and equipment safety,
b guaranteed upgradeability,
b efficient monitoring and control.
You therefore have all the advantages at hand in terms of knowhow and creativity for achieving optimised, safe, upgradeable and
compliant installations.

Canalis KT distributes power to all floors

of a multi-storey building
(office buildings, hotels, hospitals, etc).

An electrifying
new repertoire

Canalis busbar trunking

Easy installation in a small space

In ducts, where there is generally little space,
Canalis provides a substantial space
saving compared to cables.

Lighting distribution
Canalis KBA/KBB (supports light fittings)
Rated service current: 25 and 40 A
Protection index: IP 55
Canalis KBX (lighting duct)
Rated service current: 25 A
Protection index: IP 20
Canalis KDP (flexible busbar trunking)
Rated service current: 20 A
Protection index: IP 55

Guaranteed safety in the event of a fire

No risk in the event of a fire. The busbar trunking has
a low combustible load. Its construction uses very little
consumable material and is halogen free. In the event
of a fire, the busbar trunking does not emit any gas or
toxic smoke.
An inherent fire barrier, the busbar trunking helps delay
the propagation of a fire through partition walls and
floors for a duration of 2 hours.

Power distribution
Canalis KN for low power

service continuity
b They meter consumed power to allow precise management
of your electrical distribution

Electrical power available at all points

Canalis KT is for transporting and distributing electrical
power, from 800 to 5000A.
Canalis KTs high protection degree (IP55) protects
it against water projections, sprinklers and dust. Its
compact design and robustness (IK08) mean it can
be used in industrial applications, shopping centres,
tertiary buildings and infrastructures.

Office buildings and hospitals

An adaptable offer
Adding, moving or replacing loads can be done quickly, whilst live and
without the need for a shutdown.
The cost of these modifications is low:
b line proximity,
b tap-off point always available,
b moving, replacing or adding a tap-off unit is very quick.

Mastered safety
Busbar trunking temperature rise and
short-circuit withstand are known
and independent of the installation.
Coordination of the Schneider Electric
system results in complete mastery of
the electrical network.

Operating continuity
The busbar trunking provides immediate readability of the electrical
circuit and enables quick intervention on the zones concerned.
Work can be carried out without the need for a shutdown.
