Schneider Canalis KT Compact Busbar 100–400 A

The Schneider Electric Canalis KT is a compact, pre-fabricated distribution busbar trunking system rated from 100 A to 400 A, designed for sub-main power distribution in commercial buildings, data centres, and industrial facilities where busbar trunking provides a faster, more flexible alternative to large multi-core cable bundles on short to medium distribution runs of 5–50 m. Canalis KT connects transformer secondary outputs to main LV distribution boards, or sub-main distribution boards to panel boards, using factory-assembled busduct sections in 0.5 m, 1 m, 2 m, and 3 m standard lengths — eliminating field cable lacing, lugging, and termination labour that represents the dominant installation cost component for large-conductor sub-main cables in Saudi construction projects. Each section's silver-plated copper busbar joints are factory torque-sealed, providing consistent low-resistance connections that outlast field-crimped cable lugs in the high-ambient-temperature environment of Saudi Arabia's cable containment systems.

Canalis KT's tap-off positions at 0.5 m intervals allow branch circuit connections to be added at any point without modifying the main distribution run — a critical advantage in data centres where rack PDU connections must be repositioned as server racks are relocated, and in commercial buildings where tenant fit-out changes require new circuit tap-off points after initial building commissioning. The system is available in 3-phase and 3-phase plus neutral configurations, and in IP31 and IP55 enclosure options for dry indoor and humid or dust-exposed industrial environments respectively. The KT160 model's 160 A rating covers the sub-main distribution requirements of the typical 315–630 kVA transformer secondary for a mid-size Saudi office floor or commercial unit.

In Saudi Arabia, Canalis KT is specified for floor-by-floor sub-main distribution in Riyadh and Jeddah commercial towers, where the Canalis riser carries 160–400 A from the basement main switchboard to each floor's sub-distribution panel. NEOM's The Line commercial floor distribution infrastructure and Red Sea Project resort electrical distribution use Canalis KT to minimise the cable riser shaft cross-section while maintaining future tap-off flexibility for tenant reconfiguration. Data centre row distribution from the main LV switchboard to individual PDU row feeds is another major Saudi application for Canalis KT compact busduct.

Razz Middle East supplies Canalis KT sections in standard lengths with elbow, tee, reducer, and tap-off unit accessories for complete distribution runs. We provide busduct layout design, section calculation, and coordination with the structural and mechanical services team for riser and horizontal runs in Saudi commercial building projects.
