Busway General Information

A Short History of Busway Systems

To meet the need of the booming economic growth if the 1930s, busway systems were introduced to distribute power efficiently and reliably in high rise facilities. As the popularity of the busway grew in the US, later in the 1950s Japan and Europe began implementing these solutions.
It was EAE Electric who first started production and use of busway systems in Turkey in the 1970s.

EAE E-LINE Busway

The EAE E-Line Series busway is designed in a modular configuration, to meet all power requirements in modern enterprise, industrial, and business centers. Adding additional machinery, modifying floor layouts, and accessing power can be achieved without disruption the electrical load of the facility.
Power is distributed through isolated Copper or Aluminum bars, insulated and then encased with a metal enclosure and is safely distributed via tap-off boxes. These tap off boxes can be plugged in safely at the appropriate tap-off outlets along the length of the busway, without interrupting the power supply or other equipment supplied by the same busway.

E-Line Busways, which have international test certificates, can be expanded, replaced, moved or reused whenever necessary. It is very easy, economical and safe to take power using tap off boxes placed anywhere along the busway route.

Busway Current Carrying Capacities

Busway MV: Provides transfer and distribution of energy in the current levels between 950A and 5700A (Medium Voltage Busway: Protection with metal over cast resin). Conductors are made of aluminum or electrolytic copper as per choice.

Busway KX: Provides transfer and distribution of energy in the current levels between 400A and 6300A (With tin-plated aluminum Busway or copper Busway conductors.)

Busway CR (Cast Resin Busway): Provides transfer and distribution of energy in the current levels between 630A and 6300A (With tin-plated aluminum Busway or copper Busway conductors.)

Busway KO-II: Provides transfer and distribution of energy in the current levels between 160A and 800A (With tin-plated aluminum Busway or copper Busway conductors.)

Busway MK: Provides transfer and distribution of energy in the current levels between 100A and 225A (With tin-plated aluminum Busway or copper Busway conductors.)

What is a bolt-on Busway?

Bolt-on Busway system: Busway systems that allow receiving of energy via current supply tap off boxes on joints of the Busway system.

Bolt-on: Used where current needs to be supplied from joints of the Busway system and direct supply is carried out.

What is a plug-in Busway?

Plug-in Busway system: Busway systems that allow receiving of energy via current supply tap off boxes on current supply (Plug-in point) windows on the housing of the Busway system.

Plug-in: Used where current is to be supplied from joints of the Busway systems and plug-in window. (Only straight modules)
