XJ-L BuswayThe Logical ChoiceFor Light IndustrialAnd High-TechEnvironments

Ideal for high-tech or light industrial applications, XJ-L Busway is well-known forits outstanding performance, providingconvenient power distribution in high techenvironments such as laboratories andcomputer centers. Key design featuresinclude customizable bus plugs andoptional isolated ground or 200% neutral.For maximum availability it is maintainedas a stock product to meet your quick shiprequirements.

As a result, XJ-L Busway is an intelligentchoice for contractors and users concerned with designing superior electrical distribution systems requiringfewer plugs and more space efficientworking areas in computer manufacturing,laboratory/test facilities, schools, hospitals,and machine shops. XJ-L Busway delivers important features and benefits.

With XJ-L Busway, you can get an patented isolated ground design that delivers cleanpower. Unlikebonded grounddesigns that may convey surges fromone electrical device to another,the XJ-L optional isolated ground system isideal for sensitive high-tech computer-intensive environments. And the groundbar is the same size as the phase bars, withthe same ampere rating.

Installation, too is easy—joining one XJ-L Busway section to another is as simple as matching ends and snappingthem together. Bus bars are held securelyin place by spring pressure clips located inthe joint insulator. The joint is made evenmore rigid when an external housing plateis attached with captive screws.

Thanks to built-in flexibility and a low initial cost, you also benefit from futuresavings when you need new equipment.Time to add on busway for new or expanded facilities? The XJ-L Busway youinstalled years ago matches the XJ-LBusway you specify today. And, years fromnow, the new busway sections, compo-nents or system-compatible bus plugs willstill fit.

Industrial Trol-E-Duct(ITD) for Power inMotion

THE MODERN, ECONOMICAL WAY TOPOWER PRODUCTION TOOLS

The modern economical way to powerproduction tools of all kinds, Trol-E-Duct isa workhorse of the Siemens line of powerdelivery solutions. Carrying current wherever power is needed, Trol-E-Duct isavailable in ratings from 100A to 225A,feeding power to tools, cranes, hoists anda variety of moving loads continually andefficiently.

Trol-E-Duct uses a robust 14 gauge steelhousing channel that creates an internalraceway for trolley type plug-in/tap-offunits to glide effortlessly along with yourpower applications. This design reducestrack and bearing wear caused by accumulation of dust and foreign matterand offers a full range of benefits.

The copper conductors are secured to thehousing by T-bolts and exterior mountedthreaded insulators. At the joint connec-tion, the conductors from adjacent sec-tions are aligned and fixed rigidly in placeusing sleeved connectors. A continuousinsulating channelspans the entireinside length of thehousing to electri-cally isolate the conductors.

Every busway section comes with onehanger and one set of bus connectors.What's more, you can order shorter sections, ranging in length from 14 inchesto ten feet, as well as section accessoriesincluding drop-out sections that providetrolley access points, standard and intermediate hangers that support buswaysections, end plates, feed-in adapters andflared end sections.
