Modular APD System
Altech’s modular Power Distribution (APD) System is a new way to
simplify existing wiring methods!
The modular APD system provides flexible solutions for busing
common power to many different electrical components. Components
can be easily added or removed using quick disconnects saving
valuable time and cost during installation and maintenance. The APD
system also provides an organized method of wiring, that would
simplify the wiring schematics for troubleshooting, while reducing the
use of excessive wires and cables.
The APD system allows multiple connections per phase for many
applications, such as:
• Supplying separate voltages to auxiliary circuits and control
circuits for relays, contactors, timers, etc.
• Supplying power to circuit breakers, motor starters, switches,
contactors, etc.
Two conductors are housed within a rigid plastic insulation housing
suitable for voltages up to 600VAC. The conductors have current ratings
of 25A, 63A or 80A.
The entire system is touch proof (IP20).

Technical Note:
The standard busbar lengths can be cut to any desirable length. When cutting the busbars
remember to cut the conductor 62mm shorter than the insulation to ensure space for the
insulation cap (Part No. 17BI0) at each end. This guarantees adequate and required
creepage distance (see picture below). If an end support (Part No. 17BS) is used then no
insulation cap is needed.

Holders should be set approx. every
500mm (19.69 in.). For each
Busbar to be fixed cut 2 braces out
of the holder, keep the others to
assure stability
The bar-holder has engraved
numerical identification from 1-12.
The bar-holder can also
accomodate 42x25 mm (1.65 x
0.98 in.) labels and a transparent
protection cover. This marking-set
is available as part no. 17EET; it
contains one label with 6 positions
for marking and one transparent
cover in PVC.
The holder can accommodate up to
3 Busbars (6 conductor circuits)

The Power Input Connector is optional. It
can accommodate wires from 8 to 2AWG
and is used for circuits up to 90A.
90A can be distributed over a 63A APD
Busbar by using the Power Input Connector
as a feeder in the center of the busbar.
Note:
Standard Female Quick Disconnects (0.250 x 0.032 in.) can
be used for power feeding and between-busbar connections
of up to 30A. Power Input Connectors (Part No. 40017) are
only necessary for currents greater than 30A.
