Cost-effective cable routing: Busduct vs cable ladder

A safe, reliable, and efficient electrical system, built with the appropriate equipment, is imperative to your facility’s success.

While developing a setup plan, it’s natural to wonder whether cables or busbars would suit your space. Understanding a few differences between both can help you decide:

•    Cables require fixed locations, whereas busbars are more flexible when it comes to where they are placed

•    Cables can be costly to move, maintain, or repair, which then risks damaging insulation and interrupting operations. The nature of busbars makes them an easy option during expansions

•    Cables require more space than busbars, which feature a compact design

•    Cables offer a lower short circuit strength and fire protection. Busbars have protective enclosures, a higher short circuit strength, and fire protection
