We all know that electrical busway was initially developed by some companies in United States and officially put into practical application in Japan in the 1950s. Due to the use of copper or aluminum busbars as conductors, electrical busways have a large current capacity and good electrical and mechanical properties. In addition, metal grooves are used as shells, making them non combustible, safe and reliable, and have a long service life. Compared with traditional wiring of power distribution system, the area occupied by the electrical busway is significantly reduced, and the appearance is beautiful, which is very beneficial for the construction and electrical distribution of large industrial & commercial buildings. At present, electrical busway is widely used in modern buildings worldwide. Modern high-rise buildings, large industrial factories, and especially some data centers require huge amounts of electricity. Faced with the huge load that requires hundreds of thousands of amperes of strong electrical current, safe and reliable electrical equipment should be chosen. Electrical busway is a good choice. The electrical busway system is an efficient distribution device for conveying current, especially suitable for the needs of economically reasonable wiring in increasingly high buildings, large-scale mining factories. We have installed this electrical busway and its associated distribution transformers for their electrical distribution systems for data centers in many countries throughout the world.
Compared to electrical power cables, the advantages of electrical busways are more obvious, so many industrial & commercial buildings now widely use electrical busways to replace power cables. What are the obvious advantages of electrical busways?
1. The current capacity can be large;
2. The voltage drop is very small;
3. Strong short-circuit load capacity;
4. High reliability and long service life;
5. High safety;
Adopting a separate air insulation type, the safety net distance and creepage distance between phases are far greater than the standard requirements; The internal insulation components are made of high-strength engineering plastics, which improves the electrical busway’s resistance to vibration and thermal stability; The special construction adopted by the joint can prevent misoperation during installation.
6. The electrical equipment of the distribution system can be added or changed freely, flexible wiring
The electrical busway socket adopts a modular design, and the entire system can reserve a large number of sockets. Ensure that the load can be connected to the electrical bus way unit in the shortest possible path, and there is no need to change the bus system for the addition, movement, or renovation of workshop equipment.
7. Small overall size;
The electrical busway casing adopts rolling forming, small size, and exquisite appearance, greatly improving the long load capacity. It can carry a load of 60Kg at the center of the bus with a span of 6m, and the deflection does not exceed 10mm.
8. Electrical busway is lightweight and easy to operate;
9. The connection is very simple (just like connecting a water pipeline, with joints such as tees and elbows connecting each other into a system);
10. Simple construction and inspection;
The electrical busway installation process is very convenient and flexible, greatly saving installation time and labour costs.
11. With modern aesthetics.
Although the cost of electrical busway may be slightly higher compared to cables, compared to various accessories used for wiring and the entire power system, the use of electrical busway can greatly reduce construction costs. Therefore, both in terms of cost and actual use effect, the advantages of electrical busway are very obvious, and the future development trend will also be getting better and better.
