What Is Overhead Busway?_

It consists of continuous or sectional busbars hung from the ceiling structure with plug-in or bolted tap-off points. Power is taken from these points via whips or direct connections to rack-level distribution units. The layout keeps all power cabling out of the underfloor plenum used for cooling.

Technical Details

Busbar sections join end-to-end with mechanical splices that preserve electrical continuity and grounding. Tap-off boxes contain overcurrent protection and accept standard cord sets or hard-wired terminations to PDUs. The system is coordinated with overhead cable trays and liquid-cooling manifolds so that power and cooling paths remain separate.

How Leviathan Systems Works with Overhead Busway

Facility electrical installation, hardwiring, feed termination, phasing and energization remain with the customer-appointed qualified electrical parties. A power-cord connection to existing approved equipment or rack-mounted PDUs may only be considered within a separately agreed scope subject to OEM instructions, facility authorization, personnel qualifications and insurance.
