Busways, Panelboards & Switchgears
RSP Supply carries a full line of busways, panelboards, and switchgears designed to provide safe, efficient, and reliable electrical power distribution across industrial, commercial, and residential systems. These components form the foundation of modern electrical infrastructure, ensuring that power is delivered, managed, and protected efficiently throughout a facility.
Busways feature insulated conductors housed in a protective metal enclosure, offering a compact and modular solution for power distribution. Their construction provides high safety and flexibility, allowing for both alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) distribution at various voltage levels. Ideal for high-density electrical environments, busways simplify installation, reduce cabling clutter, and support expansion as system demands grow.
Panelboards serve as centralized distribution points, routing incoming power throughout a facility. They are designed for organization, safety, and ease of maintenance, with built-in circuit protection such as fuses and circuit breakers. Each panelboard provides structured, labeled access to multiple circuits, allowing operators to manage loads efficiently and respond quickly to maintenance or troubleshooting needs.
Switchgears handle the control, protection, and isolation of electrical equipment within a power system. They ensure safe operation and maintenance of high-voltage devices such as transformers, generators, and large motors. By incorporating breakers, disconnect switches, and relays, switchgears safeguard both equipment and personnel from electrical faults and overcurrents, maintaining operational stability even in demanding power environments.
Together, these systems form a cohesive electrical distribution network that maximizes safety, uptime, and efficiency for any facility—from manufacturing plants and office buildings to residential complexes and utilities.
FAQs
Q: What is the purpose of a busway in electrical power systems?
A busway distributes electrical power through enclosed, insulated conductors, offering a modular and efficient alternative to traditional cable and conduit systems.
Q: How do panelboards differ from switchgears?
Panelboards distribute power to multiple branch circuits within a building, while switchgears are used to control, protect, and isolate high-voltage electrical equipment in larger power systems.
Q: Can busways handle both AC and DC power distribution?
Yes, busways can be configured to distribute both alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) power across a wide range of voltages and configurations.
Q: Why are switchgears important in industrial applications?
Switchgears are essential for maintaining electrical system stability and safety by enabling control and isolation of high-voltage equipment during faults or maintenance.
Q: Are these components suitable for residential installations?
Yes, while panelboards are common in residential buildings, busways and switchgears are more often used in commercial and industrial settings where higher power demands exist.
