Added Benefits Of Using Bus Plugs and Bus Duct

October 27, 2014

When it comes to many pieces of electrical equipment, some questions surround what each component offers to the bigger picture. For instance, bus duct and bus plugs; how many people could pinpoint this exact component within the electrical equipment puzzle?

This line of questioning often comes from personnel working within a commercial facility, office workspace, or processing company where pipes and wires are used to distribute electrical power within the building. Bus duct and bus plugs are often used in areas other than sizeable open manufacturing centers. Some facilities distribute power using bus plugs and busway throughout their workplace environment.

A fabricating facility is one such place where bus plugs and bus duct are used to distribute power. A bus duct is used to distribute power throughout the open areas of the plant.

The bus duct helps ease the use of machinery that often needs to be moved around. Depending on the product being manufactured, the distribution of power can be rearranged to fit the need at that moment without worrying about where the electricity is coming from.

You can easily add to or change up the bus plugs to accommodate different machines with varied amp requirements. It is possible to have twenty plus bus plugs on the same busway at any given moment. It is simple to add additional bus duct to accommodate more plugs, thus generating more power for newly added equipment.

A system using busway and bus plugs is one of the most efficient ways to provide power to a manufacturing setting. Bus plugs provide energy to process and production equipment and power lighting panels. Using bus duct allows a lot of energy to be spread across a large area where the power requirements often change. This happens in many manufacturing facilities where the power to run one piece of equipment in a space is different from another part of the equipment that also needs to be run within that space.

Commercial facilities and offices are powered through fixed units of electricity through pipe and wire. These facilities rarely require a change in the amount of electricity within a particular area. If you are looking to add flexibility to your manufacturing facilities power capabilities, look into adding a bus duct and bus plug system.
