Our standard installation uses aircraft cable assemblies with self-levelling glides, making it easy to suspend and level USA TrackBusway™ runs from almost any structure. If you need a more rigid installation, you can swap the cable for threaded rod using the same hanger body, or you can surface‑mount the busway by bolting the hanger’s top half directly to the structure.
Attach cable Assembly to structure. It is the contractor and/or engineer’s responsibility to determine correct connection to structure (beam clamp, etc).
Assemble Hangers and attach cable glide.
Feed cables through glide to attach.
With your hangers suspended and adjusted to the correct height, slide each Track Busway length through the hangers to build your run. Align the lengths before tightening the hanger's set screws and trimming the excess cable.
Slide the mechanical sleeve over the ends of two adjoining lengths. Each length is electrically independent until you decide to install an electrical insert or add a feed, so you can choose at every sleeve whether to extend a circuit or start a new one.
Once the sleeve is in place, tighten the set screws with a 3/32 hex key. This locks the two sections together mechanically.
If you want power to continue through to the next section, align the joiner insert’s center mark with the etched centerline on the sleeve and tighten both knobs—one in each adjoining length—to complete the electrical connection.
If you’re starting a new circuit, leave the insert out and connect a feed unit after the sleeve instead; the built‑in end caps isolate the previous circuit until you add a new feed.
Our line feed houses an integrated breaker and provides knockouts for conduit. Because each Track Busway™ length is electrically independent until you choose otherwise, you can install a line feed anywhere along the row.
Align the feed’s busway fitting with the open slot in the Track Busway™. Engage the locking tabs to make the electrical connection, then slide the bolts through the bracket around the fitting to lock the feed mechanically in place.
Once the feed is mechanically secured, connect conduit from your building’s electrical panel through the feed’s knockouts. Land the conductors on the integrated breaker, ground lug and neutral block. After the wiring is complete and the cover is closed, switch on the breaker to energize the busway run.
