In complex industrial environments or those exposed to atmospheric agents, choosing the right degree of protection for electrical systems is a strategic choice . Busbar trunking with IP66 and IP68 protection guarantees continuity, safety, and durability . In this article, we explore what these codes mean, which applications require high protection, and why Graziadio’s Isolsbarra technology is the ideal solution for outdoor installations or in harsh environments.
The IP ( Ingress Protection ) degree of protection is a standard defined by the IEC 60529 standard , which indicates the level of protection of an electrical enclosure against the penetration of solid bodies and liquids.
It is made up of two numbers:
In electrical distribution systems, especially when installed outdoors or in harsh environments, the degree of protection is crucial.
Graziadio busbar trunking with Isolsbarra technology offers high protection (up to IP68), designed for:
Graziadio ‘s Isolsbarra solution stands out for its use of individually insulated conductors , a technical feature that directly contributes to achieving high levels of protection.
Graziadio busbar trunkings with IP66–68 protection are suitable for environments classified as “aggressive”.
Common environmental conditionsIn addition to protection from dust and liquids, Graziadio busbar trunking is designed to offer resistance to the spread of flame and, where required, fire resistance.
For these applications, the ducts can be integrated into an additional protective casing that increases their thermal and mechanical resistance.
Here are some examples showing the effectiveness of IP66 and IP68 joints on Isolsbarra busbar trunking:
Certified reliability GraziadioRelying on Graziadio for the design and installation of IP66 or IP68 busbar trunking means choosing a certified, durable, and tested solution . Isolsbarra technology combines robustness and modularity, allowing for safe installations even in environments requiring the highest levels of protection.
For electricity INSIDE and OUTSIDE, discover Isolsbarra
Today we are talking about Isolsbarra, which is one of our outdoor ducts: not only indoors, but also outdoors it guarantees energy transport!
It has a particular characteristic… that of transporting electricity underwater, up to 5 meters deep (it is no coincidence that its icon is the elephant, an animal strongly connected to this element).
⚡ Its conductors are individually insulated, by PVC or GRP (thus also ensuring high resistance to short circuits).
It is COMPACT and LIGHT, allowing a very quick and easy installation.
♀️ And then: it is resistant to CORROSION, it is RECYCLABLE and REUSABLE.

❗ PREVENTION OF EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
Our products offer A HIGH EARTHING SYSTEM: it is significant in terms of safety and reliability of operation of electrical systems.
➡ By providing a low resistance earth path, a high PE system can protect sensitive electronic equipment from potential damage caused by electrical faults or power surges. Vital in industries where equipment is critical to operations, in addition to the expense of the equipment
➡ All of our busbars have enhanced protection due to the external casing being produced with aluminium. This metal has a low resistance to electricity and consquently any fault current is discharged through it and then in to the ground
➡ In addition, the earthing system helps to stabilise voltage levels throughout the busbar system, providing a reference point (zero volts) for the system itself which is useful for maintaining the proper functionality of electrical devices.
We have supplied our busbar trunking for the project at Polo Davinci-1, Genova. It is a new Datacenter made by the Italian company Leonardo and it is among the top 100 in the world for power and performance.
Our supplied products are
* GDA 160A & GDA 250A thanks to which we offer a simple plug and play solution for power distribution. Power cables can be quickly installed with a large variety of tap off boxes, switches, plugs and meters.
* Isolsbarra 630A & 1600A busbars in aluminium and IP66
The flexible distribution of energy provided by Graziadio’s products is suitable for moving and changing load distribution frequently, very quickly and without cost.
IP68 busbar 1600 A Isolsbarra type installed on the roof of FIAT Cassino (South of Italy).
There are 2 lines in parallel with aluminium conductors to feed panels at significant height.
With a rating of IP68, the lines are watertight ensuring no interruption to power supply and meaning that this product can be used despite potentially turbulent weather conditions
At such a vital institution, reliability is key and with fully insulated conductors and a protection rating of up to IP68, outdoor installations are no longer an obstacle.
In the Local Government building of Puglia in South Italy, GDA and Isolsbarra busbar is mounted on panels for electric distribution, which supplies the entire building.
