Bus Duct Monitoring Solution

Bus Duct is a modular electrical system designed to replace conduit and cable power distribution. The ease of installation and modularity of overhead Bus Duct allows fast set up, quick repairs, and easy upgrades.

With all electrical assets, joints are typically the weak spots where faults can occur. Bus Duct is heavy and the effect of gravity, constant heating and cooling and movement from vibration or seismic activity will distort and compromise joints. A compromised joint can only be identified by the excess heat it generates.

Hotspots that are not identified and corrected can lead to power failures or worse - fire, resulting in costly unplanned downtime. As the world leader in thermal monitoring of electrical and mechanical infrastructure, we have developed the unique Exertherm Bus Duct Monitoring Solution, which permanently monitors for hotspots in these critical connection areas.
