Type and application

Feeder Busway
Feeder Busway is used to distribute power to loads that
are concentrated in one physical area. Industrial
applications frequently involve long runs from the power
source to a single load. This load may be a large
machine, motor control center, panel board or
switchboard.

Indoor-IP40, Drip Proof-IP42, Splash Proof-IP54,

Outdoor-IP65
3000mm standard Length, Min 400mm

Plug-In Busway

Riser and Plug-in Busway

Plug-in Busway is used in applications where power
requirements are distributed over a large area. Using
plug-in units, load connections can be added or
relocated easily.
Plug-in openings are located on both sides of the
busway.

Plug-in Busway is for indoor use only.

-Plug assist, assuring positive & safe connection;

-The operating handle of plug can be installed on the top or sides with very
accurate opening or closing indication.

-Interlock device ensure the safety operation, prevent the opening of the cover
when the switching devise is in the ON position, prevents the switching device
from being operated when the cover is open.

-Phase offset taps…eliminated arcing between phases when operating with

Aluminum Housing - Integral housing ground

¾ Full covered Al housing provides an extremely low impedance

ground pass with less resistance (the entire housing has 50%
grounding capacity);
¾ All-aluminum housing forms a high level ground path for ground
faults and serves as a continuous bond between busway sections,
fittings and bus plugs.
¾ Conductor fully enclosed with Al housing, provides good heat
radiation, improve the power transmission efficiency;
¾ The all-aluminum housing has perfect rust resistant, withstand
scratching and 1000hrs fog salty test.

Systems Harmonics

ƒ Where non-linear loads presented, application of added neutral bus

bar (100% or 200% neutral) to minimize harmonics effect and
provide safe operating condition within the heat rise limit.

ƒ All Aluminum Housing, low magnetic material (aluminium and

magnesium alloy), minimum harmonic loss on the distribution
system.

ƒ Superior than 100% steel housing or Al/Steel combinations
