Overview
Busway carries large currents in a compact route with low losses and easy tap-off boxes along its length, so it suits machine-heavy factories, data centres and tower risers.
Choose the IP rating for the environment, fire-stopped wall penetrations and expansion units on long runs. Joints must be torqued correctly and checked thermally in service.
Uses
- 01Transformer to main LV switchboard
