USA TrackBusway manufactures open-channel Track Busway systems for flexible overhead power distribution.

Under UL 857, continuous plug-in busway in the United States is rated 225A or less. USA TrackBusway offers 40A and 225A system options. For a complete definition, see What Is Track Busway?.

Manufacturer-direct support helps shorten the path from planning to deployment.

Track Busway System Options

USA TrackBusway systems are ETL Listed to UL 857 and support code-compliant overhead plug-in busway applications. Within that range, USA TrackBusway offers both 40A and 225A system options. Both systems can support three-phase power distribution.

For projects that need more power capacity across a larger area, see Distributed Feed Architecture.

Distributed Feed Architecture

Traditional busway systems often rely on one large feeder. That feeder may supply a long run from one location.

USA TrackBusway uses a more modular approach. Feeds can be added where power is needed along the run.

This can help reduce voltage drop and simplify future expansion. It also lets capacity grow as equipment demand changes.

Engineers can add 40A or 225A feeds as new equipment, circuits, or work areas are added.

This feed strategy lets power follow the layout. The layout does not need to depend on one oversized electrical feed point.

Add 40A or 225A feeds where the layout needs power.

Unlike traditional conduit wiring or fixed tap-off busway systems, Track Busway uses a continuous open-slot architecture.

Power drops, outlet boxes, and lighting fixtures can be added or repositioned without rewiring.

This modular approach creates a scalable overhead power infrastructure for manufacturing facilities, laboratories, logistics environments, and flexible workspaces.

  • Where Track Busway Is Used

    For a broader overview, see our overhead power distribution applications page.

    • Manufacturing
      Mix of 3-phase machinery and 120V tools on a single overhead power run.
    • Automotive
      Assembly lines benefit from flexible overhead power that adapts as production changes.
    • Laboratories
      Clean ceilings and flexible power distribution for research environments.
    • Offices
      Convenient overhead power drops for workstations and equipment.
    • Data Centers
      Flexible data center power for equipment rows, test areas, and changing critical loads.
  • Direct Engineering Access – Manufacturer Direct

    USA TrackBusway uses a web-first, manufacturer-direct model. Engineers and project teams can access design resources directly through TrackBusway.com, including installation guidance, product information, videos, and technical documentation.

    Our team works directly with customers from our manufacturing and engineering base in Columbus, Ohio. We help review layouts, evaluate system options, and move projects forward without the delays often associated with traditional rep channels.

    By combining online resources with direct factory support, USA TrackBusway helps projects move from concept to installation more efficiently.
