TOUGHRAIL™ TECHNOLOGY - robust, highly customizable, and multi- purposed housing assembly

Housing – common housing from 160 - 400 Amps

Top channel - bus rail hanger / mounting and grounding plate

Splice Support Plate – maintains critical dimensions, strength

Side channel – integrated custom labeling , side mount support

Integrated communication channel – monitor all loads / devices

True IP2X-rated bus rail channel opening -redefine finger safe

Isolated ground channel (optional) integrated channel design

POWERWAVE™ BUSWAY - TOUGHRAIL™ TECHNOLOGY

Bus rail color-coding – optional to match your facility needs (flat black and clear anodized standard)

The POWERWAVE™ Busway assembly is

comprised of three major elements

Anodized Aluminum Housing

• protects the assembly

• improves thermal properties,

• incorporates the TOUGHRAIL™ technology allowingvarious support methods, site specific labeling andsystem communication links

Bus Bars

• vary in cross-sectional area depending on ampacity

• nickel-plated to resist corrosion and minimize contactresistance

• 99% pure electrical grade copper.

Insulators

• Class B 148° C material

• enhanced short circuit capability

• insulating capacity of up to 1000 volts
