Why Flexibility is Critical
In a world where industries evolve rapidly, outdated power distribution systems can become a burden to businesses. A track busway system is engineered with flexibility in-mind. These systems simplify power and lighting setups for both industrial and commercial spaces.
Track busway systems offer a versatile power and lighting distribution solution to ensure your workspace can evolve; all without the costs and delays of traditional hard-wired solutions. Whether you are expanding your manufacturing facility, or re-arranging your office layout, track busways systems are prepared to meet your needs.
Power Drops Where You Need Them Most
By delivering localized power exactly where it's needed, no matter the location, busway systems are superior to conventional pipe-and-wire methods. Whether you are setting up a new manufacturing line, or retrofitting an existing space, track busways offer unparalleled flexibility and safety.
Plug-and-Play Simplicity
Track busway systems come with plug and play power drops that make electrical distribution easier and requires minimal-to-no downtime. Power drops can be easily inserted into the system without the need for tools or wiring, thus increasing the speed of electrical installations.
Track busway system's plug and play design ensure businesses are ready for changes in their needs, such as modifications or the addition of new equipment, and all without incurring the expense of downtime as a result of the re-wiring required with traditional methods.
Plug-in power drops are a useful solution for busy and dynamic work environments - these modular solutions allow most anyone to move power overhead.
Customizable Voltages
Low-voltage busway systems are well-suited for use with 120V to 480V equipment. Steel track busway supports multiple voltages, and with customizable plug-ends on power taps to ensure compatibility with many types of equipment.
The versatility of these systems ensures that whether you are powering heavy machinery or sensitive electronic devices, with track busway overhead you may rest-assured you can meet diverse power requirements. There is the ability to supply Steel Track Busway with up to 600V. For example, 120V to power office equipment, while 480V power is typically supplied to serve industrial applications.
Scalable Power Options
For most manufacturing environments, 3 phase power is required. Motors typically require three phase power supplies. Steel track busway systems can be double-decked to supply three phases, while single-deck systems are for use with single-phase. The single-deck system is even capable of supplying (2) single phases as 208Y/120V system.
With power delivery from 20 to 160 amps per feed, Steel Track Busway is capable of powering a large factory floor to a small workshop. If needed, you may expand your power requirements if your needs substantially increase. The Steel Track Busway system allows for additional feeds to be added in the future. With end caps built into each steel track busway length, simply add a feed after any joiner sleeve (while ensuring first the removal of the joiner insert if previously installed).
Safety and Efficiency
To reduce tripping hazards and eliminate long runs of pipe-and-wire, ensure you can drop power straight down by suspending track busway overhead. By bringing power directly to where it's needed, this creates a safer work environment with fewer obstacles. This localized power approach also enhances efficiency by cutting down on power loss that occurs when electricity travels across long distances.
Integrated Lighting for Maximum Efficiency
The right lighting levels are a crucial part of every workspace; therefore, choosing the right overhead system is critical to the long-term efficiency and adaptability of your space. These track busway systems are very easy to use and can work with most lighting fixtures. How track busway systems enhance lighting for the dynamic industrial and commercial environment is described below:
Factory Installed Fittings
Cut setup time and reduce complexity with lighting solutions that arrive on-site with electro-mechanical busway fittings pre-installed. Steel track busway plug-in lighting fixtures arrive on-site ready to install, with no on-site wiring required, minimize your project's chance for errors. A plug-and-play approach to lighting installation can greatly increase the speed of a project and significantly reduce labor costs.
Lighting Flexibility
Easily reposition lights to changing layouts or tasks. Such flexibility lets you optimize lighting conditions for different work areas; or, when new equipment comes in, you don't have to do any electrical work. Whether you're setting up for a new production line or creating a more dynamic office space, you can adjust your lighting with minimal effort.
Any workspace depends on lighting as a crucial component, and the right system can greatly enhance adaptability and efficiency. These track busway systems are designed to work with almost all lighting fixtures and come with unparalleled flexibility and ease of use.
Versatile Compatibility
Steel track busway supports linear, pendant, and even spot lighting fixtures. This wide range of compatibility is sure to help you select the most appropriate lighting solutions for your needs. This commercial track lighting system's flexibility allows bright, focused lighting for detailed work, or broad illumination of large spaces.
Plug-in all lighting fixture types on one system, effectively light your space, and even if your space changes.
Efficient Installation and Cost Savings
Using track busways can cut the installation time by as much as 90 percent compared to conventional conduit systems. Their modular design makes them a cost-effective long-term investment too, since these systems can grow with your needs. Steel track busway even combines power and lighting in one system; this multi-purpose system is obviously a money saver on materials, labor, and downtime for businesses.
Where to use Track Busway Systems
Adaptability is critical in today’s fast paced and ever-changing environment. Not only do power distribution systems need to meet the present requirements, but they should also be capable of meeting future needs. Track busway systems are engineered with that flexibility in-mind. Support changes in your workflow and future proof your design.
Here’s how track busway systems prepare your workspace for the future:
Future-Proof Design
With no re-wiring required, you can easily re-configure your power as your needs change. This means that the power distribution system you are using should evolve with your business, from the installation of new technologies, changes in the types of workflows, or increases in operations, all without the need for major changes to your electrical infrastructure.
Rapid Deployment
Minimize disruptions with quick installation and modifications overhead. Track busway systems can be easily installed and re-configured with minimal downtime. This rapid deployment capability is especially valuable in fast-paced industries where time is money. The speed at which track busway systems can be installed or re-configured means less downtime for your operations.
Energy Efficiency
Choose a power distribution system that allows you to precisely place your lighting for lower energy consumption. In other words, track busway systems help you develop a more energy-efficient workplace by allowing lights to plug-in where needed. Delivering light where needed is easy with track busway, and this flexibility can deliver significant cost savings while supporting sustainability goals.
Aesthetic Integration
Overhead track busway systems provide human scale to a space. With a clean and streamlined appearance, track busway systems can enhance your space in a way that traditional, often unsightly and obtrusive, power distribution methods cannot. This aesthetic concern is particularly important in environments such as retail or modern offices where appearance is important. Thankfully, track busway can integrate numerous elements on our clean overhead power distribution system.
