Busway and Busbar are two popular power distribution solutions in industrial and building systems. So what is the difference between Busway and Busbar? Each type has its own advantages and disadvantages, suitable for different applications and usage needs. Many people confuse Busway and Busbar during use, which significantly affects the efficiency of the entire electrical system. Let’s find out in detail about the difference between Busway and Busbar with QNT Investment and Trading Services Co., Ltd. to help you choose the best solution for your electrical system, please refer to it.
1. Concept of Busway, Busbar
Busbar (also known as busbar) is an important component in the electrical system, used to conduct and distribute electric current to different devices or areas in the electrical grid. Busbar is usually made from good conductive metals such as copper or aluminum and has a bar-shaped design, helping to optimize the ability to transmit electricity. conductive core.
Busway (also known as busbar) is an electrical conduction system used to transmit and distribute electricity in buildings, industrial plants, data centers, or large infrastructures. Instead of using traditional power cables, busways use metal conductors (usually copper or aluminum) covered in a sturdy insulating shell, helping to optimize the transmission of electricity and easily expand or change when needed. The maximum length of each bar is 3m and is connected by connectors, depending on the design and installation location in the building, these bars can be powered or not.
So, a Busbar is simply a single conductor bar, while a Busway consists of many insulated Busbar bars placed close together and protected by a shell.
