Flexible Busway Link
The Flexible Busway Link is an essential flexible compensation element designed specifically for use within otherwise rigid busway systems. Its primary function is to provide critical flexibility and protection that addresses the mechanical challenges inherent in rigid electrical distribution networks — including vibration, thermal cycling, and installation tolerances.
The Flexible Busway Link is a key mechanical and electrical compensation component designed for rigid busway systems. It provides controlled flexibility between busway sections, ensuring stable power transmission while protecting the system from mechanical stress caused by vibration, thermal expansion, and installation tolerances.
What Problems Does It Solve?
Vibration Absorption: Absorbs vibrations from mechanical equipment, elevators, and building structural movements that would otherwise stress rigid joints and conductor connections.
Thermal Expansion Compensation: Accommodates dimensional changes during temperature cycles, preventing mechanical stress on busbar connections.
Installation Misalignment Correction: Compensates for minor alignment errors during installation, ensuring stress-free connections without requiring precision field fabrication.
Maintenance Flexibility: Allows sections to be removed or replaced without disturbing adjacent rigid busway runs.
Applications
Flexible Busway Links are particularly valuable in facilities with heavy machinery, elevators, HVAC systems, or other equipment generating continuous vibration. They are also essential in outdoor installations or buildings with significant temperature variations.
Standard and custom flexible link configurations are available to accommodate specific system ampacities, voltage ratings, and installation geometries.
