The Fast Bus system
Fast Bus is a
3-phase busbar
system for power
distribution.
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 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.
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.

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.

How to Configure Fast Bus for Group Installation
1. Determine Required Load
2. Select Method to Power Fastbus

Main lug up to 600A

Circuit breakers, 15A to 500A
3. Select any additional circuit breakers or lugs to feed non-motor loads or
motors greater than 100A.
4. Select 3RA Combination, Compact Starters, or individual starter components
for each motor load.
5. Select Additional Fastbus Adapters for other control components
6. Determine the required length of busbar based on component widths and plan
for expansion space.
7. 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.
A.
B.
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

Industrial Automation

Step 2 – Select Method to Power Fast Bus
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 MaxFlex 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.
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 4 – Select Combination Starters
Starter Selection Process
 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.

 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

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.

Product Tips
40mm vs. 60mm Designs:
To clarify North American design requirements, 60mm center to center systems are approved
in the U.S. whereas 40mm systems are not and are predominantly for European systems. For
40mm system components, refer to the LV1 catalog chapter 17 for Fast Bus.
UL Panel Inspection Update:
The use of Fast Bus components must be described under the Panel Builders Procedure
documentation for UL inspection. For all current and future projects, please be sure to provide
a copy of the Siemens UL report E160776 Vol 1 Sec 1.
