 Comparison of 8 Bar and Safe-Lec 2
Comparison of 8 Bar and Safe-Lec 2
The original Insul 8® 8 Bar is the best “figure 8” bar on the market. But, if you are putting in a new installation, there are several reasons you should consider Safe-Lec 2
(CAT1003), the new standard in crane electrification.

8 Bar Safe-Lec 2
Quicker and Less Costly Installation
• 10 ft. (3.05 m) bar lengths, more splices required • 14.76 ft. (4.50 m) bar lengths; fewer joints
• Hangers hold only one bar each • Multiple pole hangers; a “snap” to install

“SNAP”
Step 1 Step 2 Installed
• Wires must be spliced to collector pigtails • Wires connect into lug integrated in the collector arm.

More Secure Bolted Splice Joint

• Pinned joints, no matter how good, are not as secure as bolts • Bolted joints
• Special tool required. • No special tools required
• No need for “joint keepers” or joint repair kits

More Secure Bolted Splice Joint

• 8 Bar can go 300 feet before an expansion section is required (or 200 feet for • Safe-Lec 2 can go further - 492 feet (150 m) - before an expansion section is
copper bar. required.

Easier System Alignment

• Bracket have round holes, so alignment must be more accurate • S lotted brackets are available to reduce hole
• Harder to make system alignment alignment problems
adjustments • System alignments are easy!

Superior Collector Shoe Tracking

• Shoe is guided by a plastic cover • Shoe is guided by the V-Contact in the metal bar
• Accurate system alignment is much more critical • Collector arm articulates to accommodate mild
system misalignments.

Conductor Bar Specification Data Sheet
Sizing systems for multiple hoists, motors, and/or multiple cranes
Use the information and chart listed below to help you determine the size of conductor bar system needed for the Specificating Data Sheet on the following pages.

For a single crane: Size the conductor bar to handle 100% of the current draw of the largest motor or group of motors, plus 50% of the combined current draw of the other
motors on the vehicle.

For multiple cranes or vehicles: Determine the current draw fro each crane/vehicle, using the method above. Sum all the current draws for each crane/vehicle, then
multiply the sum by the appropriate demand factor:

Number of Cranes/Vehicles Demand Factor

2 .95
3 .91
4 .87
5 .84
6 .81
7 .78

8 Bar: An excellent choice for tightly curved

systems

 Insul 8® 8 Bar and Side Contact Overview
Conductix-Wampfler has designed and built state-of-the-art conductor bar systems for over 60 years. Our experienced engineering and sales people are recognized experts
in the application of conductor bar in the most demanding applications.

Conductix-Wampfler USA was founded in 1944 as Insul-8 Corporation in San Carlos, CA. Insul-8 developed the first “Figure 8” conductor bar system, which became the
standard method for electrifying overhead cranes. In 1991 the company moved it’s manufacturing facility to Harlan, Iowa.

With the merger of Conductix and Wampfler in 2007, Conductix-Wampfler is now the world leader in design and manufacture of high-performance conductor bar systems
for industry.

Our innovations include the “finger-safe”, V-Contact Safe-Lec 2 system, Hevi-Bar II with optional Dura-Coat corrosion protection, and Hevi-Bar MD for high current mill
applications.

Conductix-Wamfpler 8 Bar and Side Contact systems are manufactured in the USA to provide unsurpassed service and quick delivery. Our plants are ISO9001-2008 certified
and adhere to stringent quality standards.

We offer a full complement of other mobile electrification products to include Cable Festoon Systems, Cable Reels (spring and motor driven), Push-Button Pendants, Radio
Remote Controls, and Crane Bumpers.

8 Bar
The first insulated conductor system for crane/monorail electrification. If you need 8
Bar, insist on the original! Many accessories available. Able to accommodate small
bend radii for curved systems and slip rings. 40A, 90A, 110A, 250A and 350A,
capacity bars.

Powerfeed Hanger Clamp 1” mounting staff
End Cover
Hanger Clamp: Suspends the conductor bar from hanger bracket

1” Square 8 Bar End Cover: Caps off the end of the conductor bar
Bar Conductor
Hanger Bracket: Attaches to crane beam or other structure to support multiple
Collector
hangers.

Anchor Clamp: C
 onnects the bar to the structure and directs movement of the

Conductor Bar Information
NOTE: Please use the Specification Data Sheet on pages 6-7 to determine your conductor bar needs. Contact Conductix-Wampfler Sales (+1 800 521 4888) if
you have any questions about the suitability of this product for your application.

Roll formed of 1/16” (1.59 mm) material except laminates which are 1/32” (0.79 mm) copper steel, or stainless steel, and the 90 A galvanized bar. The cross-section area is
188 mcm (95 mm2). The equivalent rectangle for all conductors is 1.0” x 1/4” (25.4 x 63. mm). Supports are required every 3’ (0.91 m) for curves, 3’-4” (1.01 m) for lateral
mount, and 5’ (1.52 m) standard.

 8 Bar Conductors
8 Bar conductor bars come with cover and connector pins installed. Bars are available in 40A, 90A, 110A, 250A, 350A, capacities (@ 600 volts maximum). Expansion
Sections, listed below are required to compensate for thermal expansion; one every 350’ (106.7 m) for 40A, 90A and 100A systems or one every 250’ (76.2 m) for 250A
systems.

Power feeds are used to bring outside power to the conductor bar.

Factory installed covers are available in:

• Rigid PVC: -10°F to 160°F (-23.3°C to 71.1°C)

• Medium Heat: -25°F to 250°F (-31.7°C to 121.1°C)
• Extreme Temp: -60°F to 280°F (-51.1°C to 137.7°C)

 8 Bar Collector Assemblies
Sliding contact Collector Assemblies are offered in either single shoe or tandem shoe configurations. Current capacities range from 30 Amp to 200 Amp depending on the
model. The shoes are supported by insulated holders on articulation, spring-loaded collector arms. C-Base collector arms are made from Stainless Steel, H-Base collector
arms are cast aluminum. Both types have upgraded riveting for longer life, keeping the wear on the collector assembly is confined to easily replaceable contact shoes.

30 Amp and 60 Amp J-Head, C-Base Type

90A, 110A, 250A, and 350A capacities @ 600 volts maximum. Expansion Sections listed below are required every 350 feet (106.7) for 40A, 90A, and 110A systems or
250 feet (76.2m) for 250A and 350A systems to compensate for thermal expansion. Power Feeds bring outside power to the conductor bar.

Factory installed covers are available in:

• Rigid PVC: -10°F to 160°F (-23.3°C to 71.1°C)

• Medium Heat: -25°F to 250°F (-31.7°C to 121.1°C)

Side Contact Collectors

Side Contact Collectors are available in numerous configurations to match the application. Note that collectors should not be used as power switching devices. The resultant
arcing may cause rapid deterioration of both contact shoes and conductor bars. Ampere capacity of conductor bars, power feeds, jumpers, etc. should be greater than or
equal to that of the system. Contact factory for systems using tandem mounted collectors and special requirements. For mechanically discontinuous systems only collectors
designed as “self-centering” should be used. Contact shoe pressure: Between 4 and 6 pounds (1.81 kg to 2.72 kg) for all collector styles.

Side Contact Curves

Side Contact can be set up to handle curves, horizontally or vertically, with standard 6.0 (152) tangents on each end. The systems are specially designed for curves,
switches, interlocks, gaps, and continuous control circuits. They are readily adaptable for most operating conditions. Both conductor bar and insulated cover are sufficiently
flexible to permit bending to any desired radius up to the noted minimums. Hanger spacing is every 3 feet (0.91 meters) on curves. Maximum bar length is 10 feet (3.05
meters). Information required for curves are:

• Radius for each conductor bar

• Angle
• Inside or Outside contact
