KXA1600ED4 — Schneider Canalis KX 1600A Distribution Busbar
The Schneider Electric Canalis KX is a high-current prefabricated busbar trunking system rated from 800 A to 6300 A, designed for main distribution and sub-main power distribution in large commercial buildings, data centres, industrial plants, and infrastructure facilities where the current capacity and installation speed advantages of busbar trunking outweigh the lower material cost of cable. The Canalis KX 1600 A rating covers the most common main distribution busbar capacity for large Saudi commercial towers, shopping malls, and industrial facilities powered at 11 kV/400 V transformer secondary outputs of 800–2500 kVA. Each Canalis KX section is factory-assembled and tested to IEC 61439-6, arriving on site ready to bolt together — eliminating the field termination risk of large conductor cabling and reducing installation time by up to 60% compared to equivalent cable installations on large projects.
The KX system's rated short-circuit withstand current of 100 kA for 1 second satisfies the fault level requirements of Saudi Arabia's 11 kV/400 V distribution transformers up to 2500 kVA rating without special reinforcement. The IP55-rated enclosure option makes the Canalis KX suitable for outdoor or covered-external distribution at industrial sites where the busduct is routed along external walkways or in partially-exposed plant rooms. The aluminium housing combined with copper or aluminium conductor options allows material selection to optimise between weight, cost, and conductivity for each project's specific distribution run geometry.
In Saudi Arabia, Canalis KX busbar trunking is specified for large commercial developments including mall distribution, hospital main distribution risers, airport passenger terminal main distribution, and industrial plant power distribution where multiple transformer secondary outputs are consolidated into a common busduct ring. NEOM's The Line infrastructure requires extensive busbar trunking for the compact, high-density electrical distribution architecture of its linear building concept, and ROSHN's mixed-use residential developments specify Canalis KX for high-rise main riser distribution.
Razz Middle East supplies Canalis KX busbar trunking for Saudi major projects, providing section count design, elbow and tee configuration drawings, tap-off unit selection, and logistical coordination for factory delivery to site. We work with Schneider's Canalis engineering team for custom section lengths and special configurations required by Saudi project specifications.

Key Features & Benefits
- Factory-assembled and IEC 61439-6 tested sections arrive ready to bolt together, eliminating field termination risk and reducing installation time by up to 60% versus large cable bundles on Saudi major projects.
- 100 kA rated short-circuit withstand current satisfies the fault level of Saudi 11 kV/400 V distribution transformers up to 2500 kVA without special busduct reinforcement.
- IP55 enclosure option enables outdoor and partially-exposed plant room installation at industrial sites, covering Canalis KX runs along external service walkways without additional weather protection.
- Copper or aluminium conductor options allow cost and weight optimisation for each project's distribution run length, enabling cost-effective aluminium selection on long horizontal runs.
- 800 A to 6300 A range covers all current ratings from sub-main distribution to primary main distribution busduct, maintaining a single system product family across multiple current levels.
- Modular elbow, tee, and offset sections accommodate the building structure geometry without field fabrication, ensuring the factory-tested IP and current rating integrity is maintained throughout the distribution run.
- Integral earth conductor in all sections eliminates the need for a separate earth bonding cable along the distribution run, reducing installation material cost and ensuring continuous earth continuity.
Industrial Applications in Saudi Arabia
- Main distribution riser busbar in Riyadh and Jeddah commercial towers, where Canalis KX replaces 800 A–2500 A cable bundles on vertical risers, reducing riser shaft space and installation programme time.
- Shopping mall sub-main power distribution at Majid Al Futtaim and PIF-owned retail developments across the Kingdom, where KX busduct connects transformer room outputs to electrical plant room sub-distribution boards.
- Hospital main distribution riser at Ministry of Health hospital projects across Saudi Arabia, where the compact footprint of KX busduct reduces riser space consumption in structurally constrained medical facility designs.
- Airport passenger terminal main distribution at King Khalid International Airport expansion and King Abdulaziz International Airport Phase 2, where KX busduct provides the high-current distribution backbone.
- NEOM The Line electrical distribution infrastructure, where compact KX busduct is required for the high-density linear building concept with minimal plant space available for conventional cable routes.
- Data centre main distribution busbar connecting UPS output to PDU input rows, where KX busduct's compact footprint and tap-off flexibility match the structured power distribution architecture of hyperscale facilities.
- ARAMCO and SABIC industrial plant main power distribution, where factory-assembly and rapid site installation align with the compressed construction schedules of petrochemical plant expansion projects.
