Why Use METTZ LV Busway Systems in Industrial Applications?

1. High Current Capacity in Compact Form

Unlike bulky cable bundles, the 690V LV busway delivers up to 5000A in a compact, pre-engineered system—saving valuable floor and wall space.

2. Flexible Modular Layout

Pre-engineered plug-in units, elbows, and tap-off boxes enable fast reconfiguration or future expansion—ideal for smart factories and evolving infrastructure.

3. Safe and Efficient Power Transmission

Busways offer lower impedance, reduced power losses, and minimal electromagnetic interference (EMI) compared to traditional cables.

4. Easier Installation and Maintenance

Factory-tested components snap together on-site, significantly reducing installation time, cable routing complexity, and maintenance downtime.
