Busway for Datacentres
Products
Overview
Features
The Powerbus busway delivers scalable and flexible overhead power distribution with the highest tap-off density on the market. Simple modularity minimizes unintended downtime, improves safety while optimizing energy efficiency.
- Available in 100 A, 225 A, and 400 A, up to 600 V maximum rating
- High branch circuit density – up to 20 plug-in unit openings every 10 feet
- Easy to move, add or change Plug-in Units to meet power needs
- Up to three branch circuits per Plug-in Unit
- Uses the same Plug-in Units across all busway ampacities
- Add a Plug-In Unit or Power Feed Unit – with metering or without – wherever it’s needed
- Superior Plug-in Unit design features fast and easy “hook-swing” installation
- Busway hanger options let designers customize suspension to each application
- IT rack-mounting kits reduce installation labor costs and minimize over-rack space interference
- 200% neutral and a 100% isolated ground path
Benefits
- Zero footprint saves valuable floor space for revenue-producing machinery, work cells, or IT racks
- Overhead design maximizes raised floor-cooling air flow while increasing power distribution accessibility
- Energy-efficient copper bus bars reduce power distribution losses
- Plug-in Units and Power Feed Units offer optional PowerLogic™ metering and communications to monitor energy usage and balance phase loading
- All busway ratings are listed to CSA/UL® 857 Busway Standard for Safety
- Above-equipment design makes identifying circuits easy while improving cable management of energized Plug-in Units
- Optional handles on Plug-in Units give technicians more stability when climbing ladders to install units
- No special tools required to connect busway joints or Plug-in Units
Applications
- Data Centres – power distribution to IT racks
- Telecommunications – network and switching cabinets
- Manufacturing and assembly – work cells
- University and institutions – laboratory stations
- Distribution warehouses – picking stations
