V Bar

Inverted ‘V’ Aluminum Conductor System

Inverted ‘V’ conductor systems provide an efficient and economical means to power all types of moving electrical equipment. V-Bar is particularly well-suited for high contamination and outdoor applications due to its under-running design where dust and ice are unable to collect on the contact surfaces. The tracking action of the ‘V’ rail and the current collector accommodates misalignment for long conductor runs and simplifies conductor system installation. Available in configurations up to 6000 amps using a highly conductive and corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy, V-Bar systems require no field drilling or welding and can be assembled with common hand tools.

Features

• High current capacity aluminum extrusion with excellent chemical resistance properties
• Highly rigid cross-sectional geometry resists bending and twisting and permits hanger spacing up to 15 feet
• Systems are engineered to customer specifications, including system layout and installation support
• ‘V’ shaped interface provides large contact area and collector tracking for efficient current collection
• Full range of standard components including hangers, anchors, feeders, splice joints, fixed and floating expansion joints and isolation joints
• Multiple collector configurations available
