Cable Bus

Typical Cable Bus Applications

Power Bus Way electrical cable bus systems are the best solution for large power connections to transformers, switchgear, generators, motors, motor controls, inverters, existing bus duct systems, and UPS systems.

Power Bus Way cable bus systems are typically used in the following scenarios:

  • Where large amounts of current are required (600A – 8000A), and for voltages from 480V to 28kV.
  • Main incoming feeders and standby generator connections, and connecting switchboards to MCC, UPS, ATS, Tap Boxes, Etc.
  • Connecting turbines to outgoing power equipment for co-generation plants, biomass facilities, and hydro dams.

Why Power Bus Way Cable Bus?

Power Bus Way cable bus systems are the most reliable, cost-effective, and safe feeder systems available. We fully stand by our products and installations from design right through to completion with ongoing support and great customer service.
