T225 is USA TrackBusway’s higher-capacity, open-channel busway system for flexible overhead power distribution. Its continuous plug-in slot provides connection points along the run for compatible outlet boxes and drop cords.
Inside T225’s aluminum housing, U-shaped copper busbars sit in a continuous insulator. Electrical joiners connect the busbars between sections; mechanical couplers secure the housings. Compatible tap-offs insert through the open slot and rotate to engage the busbars, delivering power to outlet boxes and drop cords along the run.
Add or relocate outlet boxes and drop cords along the run, within the system’s installation and clearance requirements. Each tap-off has its own voltage, current and protection rating.
Listed to UL 857 Busway Standards. Standard and 200% Neutral (N2) busway and end-feed configurations are included in the T225 listing. Review model scope and ratings. The 600V system maximum does not make every tap-off or receptacle suitable for 600V.

Need more capacity across a row? A coordinated 450A-per-phase splitter layout can supply two separately protected 225A feed circuits. Each serves its own electrically separate section or run; each section remains limited to 225A per phase.
Splitting does not increase a section’s rating or create extra source capacity. Coordinate the supply, section boundaries, overcurrent protection, fault current and loads with the project design.

Three phases and neutral. The bonded aluminum housing provides the equipment-grounding path.
Standard: four main conductors in the insulated stack; the aluminum housing provides the equipment-grounding path.

Combines both options: 200% neutral and a separate isolated-ground conductor. The housing remains grounded.
N2IG: the middle IG conductor and lower additional neutral conductor are both present.

Match the lengths, feed and electrical joiners to one conductor configuration and coordinate compatible tap-offs. Standard and N2 lengths are included in the public T225 listing; confirm the selected IG or N2IG configuration and listing scope.
This example uses two 10 ft straight sections, plus the end feed’s short T225 section. Electrical joiners continue the conductor path; mechanical couplers secure the adjoining housings.

Tap-Offs for 225A Track Busway
Choose compatible T225 bus plugs (tap-off units) for 225A Track Busway. Select a 1-, 2- or 3-pole outlet box or drop cord to match the equipment connection.
T225 identifies the busway family; each tap-off has its own marked rating. Circuit-breaker or Class CF CubeFuse protection depends on the selected assembly and approved project documentation.

Three phases + neutral. One continuous plug-in channel. The tap-off fitting engages the busway conductors used by its circuit. Your supply and conductor selection determine the available voltage; the tap-off does not convert voltage.
One phase + neutral.
Two selected phases; neutral where the selected connection requires it.
L1 + L2 + L3; neutral where the selected connection requires it.
Supply examples require matching rated assemblies. The standard four-wire system is L1, L2, L3 and N; its bonded aluminum housing provides the separate equipment-grounding path. Gold shows the contacts used by the example circuit; unused pins are omitted. The 2- and 3-pole examples omit the neutral contact, which is included where the specified connection requires it. These simplified, model-based cutaways explain conductor selection; use selected-unit drawings for actual contacts and wiring.

225A Track Busway is used where overhead power distribution must support heavier equipment, changing layouts, or multiple equipment zones. Common applications include data centers, industrial manufacturing plants, logistics and distribution facilities, automotive assembly areas, robotics cells, research laboratories, and flexible commercial environments where equipment layouts evolve over time.

No. Listed T225 configurations have a maximum rating of 600 Vac. The project supply determines the available voltages: for example, 208Y/120V provides 120V line-to-neutral and 208V line-to-line; 480Y/277V provides 277V line-to-neutral and 480V line-to-line. Select tap-offs, receptacles and protection rated for the actual load and supply. The system maximum is not the rating of every tap-off. Review the selected configuration’s listing and project drawings.
Yes. A 1-pole tap-off uses one phase and neutral for a line-to-neutral single-phase load. A 2-pole tap-off uses two phases for a line-to-line single-phase load. A 3-pole tap-off uses all three phases for a three-phase load. Neutral is included where required by the selected equipment connection. The tap-off selects conductors; it does not change voltage. Match the assembly ratings and distribute loads within the per-phase, per-feed limits.
Use 40A Track Busway for smaller loads, lighting, and support areas. Consider T225 for higher-capacity rows and equipment zones requiring up to 225A per phase. Final selection depends on load, voltage, feed strategy, available fault current, and project drawings.
Isolated-ground receptacles may be specified on supported factory-assembled tap-offs. Confirm the busway, feed, tap-off, receptacle, and protective-device combination in the approved project submittal.
