Frequently Asked Questions

Manufacturing of busway systems, lighting products, cable tray products and machinery production are carried out in the new Gebze/Kocaeli plants - the neigbouring city of Istanbul's Asian side - while the existing Istanbul European side busway factory continues it's productions.

By sharing our expertise on our products and solutions with our customers, we ensure that the best possible solutions are generated. Services like designing, technical support, electrical calculations, mechanical calculations, simulation layouts and such are provided by EAE.

According to the project, our team will review and evaluate the shipment of our product from Turkey, into the United States and to the jobsite.

No. On-site technical support and training can be provided to the companies involved with the installation of EAE products based on the needs of the project.

Busway Systems comprise of a sophisticated and modern energy transmission and distribution system of modular structure, used in place of cabling.

Busway Systems could also be referred to as busway bus duct system.

Busway Systems could also be called a bar duct in short.

The main components of any busway system are comprised primarily of metals like copper, aluminum and steel plate, as such busway costs and prices vary according to the current market prices of such raw materials. Therefore, there is no applicable price list. The total cost of any of our products is quoted in accordance with the project scope.

It is the supply point of power to any machinery, equipment or switchboard on the plug-in connection of the busway system.

The advantages of a busway system are a physically well protected and modular structure, lowest possible voltage drop, increased product lifespan, high levels short circuit resistance, high levels of fire resistance, including no release of toxic gases (halogen free), ease in designing and redesigning of facilities, modern look, smaller electrical footprint and no need for bending radius, ease of maintenance and installation, low installation cost and overall cost efficiency.

In horizontal runs of the busway systems, suspension should be provided every 5 feet or 1.5 meters. In the case of vertical distribution installations, the system should be affixed to the floor slab for each story.

This topic is described in detail in the application sections of the technical catalogues.

It is done by using a Megger insulation test instrument. Before busway systems are commissioned, they should strictly pass through insulation tests and relevant commissioning procedures should be implemented.

The mainframe (body) of any busway which is duly tested, certificated and manufactured according to UL, IEC and TS-EN standards can be used as ground conductor (protection circuit).

Busway conductors (aluminum and copper) should be tin or silver plated based on the application.

Epoxy coating is an insulation material used on the KX series busway systems manufactured by EAE, which is highly durable, incorporating premium features in respect of insulation, fire-resistance and over-heating.

On Busway systems, two different conductor is being used named as aluminium and copper. Aluminum is preferred due to being less heavy and more cost-efficient.

Busway systems which are duly tested, certificated and manufactured according to IEC 60331-1 and BS 6387 standards incorporate such specifications like flame retardation, non-inflammability as well as non-emission of any toxic gases in case of fire (halogen free). The KX series premium design compact busway systems are capable of sustaining their functions for 3 hours in case of fire which generates heat to 830 0C temperature level.

This is a flexible module used in lines of length in excess of 40 metres or at block passages of large-sized building structures, which takes responbility of busway line expansion, extension as well as shrinkage characteristics.

This is a module which made as a combination of two turning modules, enabling the changing of the installation height or position of the busway system.

Yes, we provide Project design services as free of charge.

Supervisory services only are being provided for such activities as itinerary determination of busway systems, project control, on-site measurements, keeping of the survey book, prescribing the assembly particulars, installation training, intermediate busway measurement and fixing, Megger insulation test and final control.

Provided the colour code is notified in advance prior to the manufacturing process, the busway system can be supplied with a painted finish. Painting on site after production is not advisable.

Cable ducts are made to fix and support the laying of insulated cables for power distribution and data communication in and around building structures. They comprise modular lengths which are joined together on site to support the cables.

Cable ducts, cable trays and wire ways are made to fix and support the laying of insulated cables for power distribution and data communication in and around building structures. They comprise modular lengths which are joined together on site to support the cables.

Details and particulars with respect to the storage of cable ducts are provided in our technical manual. They should be stored in a well-ventilated environment, protected against water and humidity.

This is an international criteria expressing that function integrity is ensured in case of fire. Its basic objective is to ensure that functional sustenance of vital systems for human life such a lighting, elevator and announcement systems are maintained in case of any fire. Considering that the cabling in respect of the aforesaid systems are made through and over cable carrying systems, it is seen more clearly how essential it is that the latter systems enable functional sustenance. The test therefor is carried out inside a special test oven that can be heated-up in accordance with a Standard temperature-time curve. Depending on maintaining and sustaining the functionality of cabling systems, E30-E90 grades are prescribed and these are mandatory for use at low voltage facilities not exceeding 1kV as a standard.

This is a duct type where resistance (strength) is enhanced through pre-forming (inflection) of each and every opening on the duct.

Yes, a stronger construction is obtained when using thinner steel plated on pre-formed ducts.

Any cable duct passing the E30-E90 test and properly assembled is fire-resistant.

This is the busway system for distributing power to the desks and equipment in modern office spaces where a raised floor feature is installed.

These duct systems are installed in Office spaces where the power distribution is made through screed concrete, placed within the screed concrete and enabling power distribution to the desks and such other equipment at the office.

For those users utilizing screed installation ducts, under-floor busways and piping equipment providing mains supply, UPS energy outlet, or telephone-data and such similar connection outlets.

Has the same meaning as under-floor duct system.

This is an installation item used under a raised floor or screed concrete system enabling connection or providing outlets.

Trolley busway supplies power to moving machinery systems like a mobile crane or machines moving on a line, ensuring power connection from a moving power supply trolley picking up power along a fixed busway system.

Has the same meaning as a trolley busway.
