Elsewedy Electric, the leading Integrated Energy, Infrastructure, and Digital Solutions provider in the Middle East and Africa, launched the first Busway dielectric epoxy insulation system facility in Africa.
The Busway system is a prefabricated electrical distribution system consisting of bus bars in a protective enclosure including straight lengths, fittings, devices, and accessories. It is the ideal solution for large-built structures such as high-rise buildings, commercial and residential centers, hospitals, airports, data centers and buildings that require high preventive security standards due to its excellent short circuit, distribution of loads, and significantly low magnetic field, which minimizes its fire load and maximizes safety.
