Busway Busway is widely used in industrial applications to distribute
power. There are different types of busway, however. Feeder
busway is used to conduct feeder current to loads that are
sometimes remote from the power source. Plug-in busway, on
the other hand, incorporates plug-in units, called bus plugs, to
allow loads to be distributed over the length of the run. Many
industrial applications require both types of busway.

number of components such as tees, offsets, and elbows used
to route busway through the facility.

switchgear located outside a building to a switchboard located
inside a building. Electrical power is then distributed to various
locations in the industrial facility.
