The Fast Bus system Fast Bus is a 3-phase busbar system for power distribution. The modular design provides the flexibility needed to fit your application. Fast Bus also carries domestic and international approvals, which make it ideal for one global panel design. Fastbus helps provide for efficient assembly and simple maintenance, reducing down time.. Adapter shoes can be easily snapped on or removed from the Busbars in seconds and many of the starters and circuit breakers come pre-assembled from Siemens. The Fastbus system can help you save panel space by allowing you to wire and mount circuit protection and motor starters in a tight line. Leave space for future system expansion. Covering all exposed bus bars with the plastic profile.
The Fast Bus system and UL508A “Feeder circuit” is the circuit section located upstream from the last short-circuit-proof element (“short circuit protection device” = SCPD). “Branch circuit” is the circuit section located downstream from the last short-circuit-proof element. When using the Fast Bus busbar system in a power distribution board erected in accordance with UL regulations, it has to be checked whether the application is located in the Feeder or Branch circuit. Components used in the Feeder circuit require larger clearance and creepage distances than in the branch circuit. Clearance and creepage distances in acc. with UL508A in the feeder circuit (rated voltage 251- 600V):

How to Configure Fast Bus for Group Installation • Determine Required Load • Select Method to Power Fastbus • Main lug up to 600A • Circuit breakers, 15A to 500A • Select any additional circuit breakers or lugs to feed non-motor loads or motors greater than 100A. • Select 3RA Combination, Compact Starters, or individual starter components for each motor load. • Select Additional Fastbus Adapters for other control components • Determine the required length of busbar based on component widths and plan for expansion space. • Select appropriate length busbar, busbar supports, end covers and any other required components.
Step 1 – Determine total amperage of required loads Due to the nature of Fast Bus, most applications are considered Group Installation per NEC 430-53 Group Installation is an approach to building multiple motor control systems. In Group Installation, multiple motor starters can be grouped under a short circuit protective device. The 3RA Combination Starters have been UL listed for Group Installation in conjunction with Fast Bus. • Review the specification or line drawing to determine all of the loads in the circuit • Use the calculations below to determine the size to the Short Circuit Protective Device Circuit Breaker Selection - Select a circuit breaker (CB) between: Minimum CB size (per NEC430-110) = Sum of all motor Full Load Currents x 115% Maximum CB size (per NEC430-53c) = 250% x FLC of the largest motor + FLC of all other motors Fuse Selection - Calculate the maximum fuse size per NEC 430-53c: Maximum Fuse size = 175% x FLC of the largest motor + FLC of all other motors

FBCB250M-HB) for High Interrupting versions 100A-250A only. (see next slide) For Short Circuit Protection from 50 to 250A, we recommend using the FBCB***M Main Circuit breakers kits– These circuit breakers have the Fast Bus wires on the load side. Incoming power wires can be fed through the top of the enclosure directly to the line terminals of the circuit breaker. A Rotary or Max-Flex handle operator can be added to disconnect and lock the breaker in the off position. For Short Circuit Protection from up to 500A, we offer the VL Circuit breakers on Fast Bus Adapters – see slide 30 These Fast Bus adapters offer user flexibility in making electrical connections on the line or load side of the breaker. Lug KitRatingWidth SCCR 480V FBT600F 560A 180mm 65kA Feeder Circuit Compliant Other ratings available See page 5/6 of the 2010 Controls Catalog For Short Circuit Protection greater than 500A, use the Three Pole Lug Plate assembly with cover – Provides terminals for the incoming supply from a separately mounted Circuit Breaker or Fuse Block. These lug kits could also be used to jumper from one run of Fast Bus to another. Panel mount circuit breaker or fuse block over 500A
Step 3 – Choosing additional CB’sPre-assembled on Shoes or Kits ready to go Feeder CB Main CB
Step 4 – Select Combination Starters Starter Selection Process Pages 4/38 – 4/41 • Fully assembled Starters: • Non-reversing or reversing motor? • Full Load Current of the motor? • Control Voltage? • Number of auxiliary contacts required on the MSP and on the Contactor? • The 3RA devices can be ordered without any auxiliaries or they can be ordered with one SPDT contact block that plugs into the top front of the MSP and one NO contact block that mounts to the front of the contactor • We recommend using front mount or plug in auxiliary contact blocks to keep the device width to a minimum • Regardless of which version is ordered, additional auxiliary contacts can always be added in the field • These starters can also be built from stock components: • For quick component selection, use Section 4 of the catalog to select a 3RA factory assembled version. To the right of the 3RA catalog number, you will find a list of the components required for field assembly • To see a detailed visual of how to assemble these starters, refer to pages 4/63 through 4/68 of the 2010 catalog.

Step 6 – Determine the Required Length of Busbar • Add the widths of all components that will be mounted to the busbar. Including: • End Supports and Intermediate Supports • Main Circuit Breaker or Main Lug Kit • 3RA Combination Starters • Feeder Circuit Breakers • Feeder Lug Kits • Adapters to hold other control products • Determine what additional length may be required for future expansion (if any). • Specify required bracing rating for the system to determine if and how many intermediate supports are required. • Add the widths of all intermediate supports and end supports, which are 21 mm each. • Add all distances together to determine total length of busbar required. • NOTE: • Make sure that the required busbar length will fit in your control panel. If necessary, break the Fast Bus in to multiple runs within the cabinet. When breaking in to additional runs, be sure to add the additional end & intermediate supports and any additional Feeder Lug Kits or Circuit Breakers to your overall length calculation.
