    ● Ventilation of the system. The minimum distance for guaranteeing sufficient heat dissipation is 0.10 m. You can find recommendations for distance dimensions in the planning manual "Planning with SIVACON 8PS". Busbar trunking systems up to 6300 A (order number: A5E01541101) Note Shorter distance in special cases If a fire barrier or expansion compensation is used, the wall/ceiling distance is lower at this point since the system is overlapped by the fire barrier, for example.
