The newly expanded 400 amp-rated main and new 125Vdc rating now offered in the Cooper Bussmann® Quik-Spec Coordination Panelboard (QSCP), provides greater application flexibility while simplifying selective coordination. Configurations up to 600Vac/400A/200kA SCCR or 125Vdc/400A/100kA SCCR make the QSCP ideal for power distribution as well as utility and Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) circuits. For hazardous locations, a new optional Class 1, Division 2 housing has also been developed.

Cooper Bussmann, the industry leader in critical circuit protection, power management and electrical safety, matches critical loads to the right level of protection by introducing more ampacity selections in its fusible panelboard. The QSCP s 18 different branch fuse amp ratings, including the 70 to 100 amp branch circuit disconnects coming soon, can more closely match fuse ampacity requirements of UPS loads to limit voltage sags during faults and reduce the probability of losing voltage-sensitive loads unnecessarily. This is particularly important in the one to 10 amp range in applications including alarm and protection systems, sensors and monitors, and PLCs.

Since its introduction, we have seen quick adoption of the fusible Quik-Spec Coordination Panelboard, said Ivo Jurek, Cooper Bussmann president. This includes applications in sports arenas, hotels, museums, municipal buildings, coal mines and oil refineries, just to name a few. The product also was awarded the 2009 EC&M Product of the Year award for power distribution equipment and was a finalist in the 2009 Plant Engineering Product of the Year in the electrical power category.

To make the QSCP even faster to specify, Cooper Bussmann developed and launched the new Quik-Quote configurator. This online program accurately generates all submittal documents a panelboard bid requires, including the panel-specific take-off/diagram, bill of materials and list pricing all in a matter of minutes.
 

Quik-Spec also means Quik-Ship, explained Jurek. All configurations of the standard NEMA 1 enclosure are available for shipment within 10 business days of the order for fast installation.
The industry standard in fusible panelboards, the Quik-Spec Coordination Panelboard addresses NEC® selective coordination requirements to meet the needs of COPS, UPS, healthcare and places of assembly. The QSCP also utilizes the finger-safe, UL Class CF Low-Peak® CUBEFuse® in conjunction with an ampacity-rejecting Compact Circuit Protector Base (CCPB) UL 98 disconnect.
