When your facility depends on busway power distribution, finding the correct bus plug quickly can mean the difference between a routine maintenance shutdown and costly production downtime. Whether you need a new bus plug, a professionally reconditioned replacement, or support for an obsolete busway system, Select Equipment Co. provides the inventory, technical expertise, and engineering support to keep your operation running.
With millions of dollars in electrical distribution equipment in inventory, Select Equipment is one of the nation's leading suppliers of bus plugs for commercial and industrial power distribution systems. We support customers throughout North America with fast shipping, expert product identification, professional reconditioning, and replacement solutions for many discontinued or hard-to-find bus plug models.
From a single replacement bus plug to complete facility modernization projects, our experienced team helps maintenance personnel, electrical contractors, industrial facilities, OEMs, municipalities, and engineering firms find the right solution quickly and confidently.
Selecting the correct bus plug is about more than matching amperage. Compatibility with the existing busway system, interrupting rating, voltage, configuration, and application are all critical factors. Our experienced team works with customers every day to ensure the correct replacement is identified before it ships.
When you work with Select Equipment, you receive:
One of the largest inventories of bus plugs in the United States
New and professionally reconditioned bus plugs
Support for many obsolete and discontinued product lines
Technical assistance identifying existing equipment
Engineering support for difficult replacement applications
Nationwide shipping
Fast response times for emergency breakdowns
Quality products inspected and tested before shipment
Our goal is simple: help you minimize downtime and restore power safely and efficiently.
A bus plug is a removable power tap that connects directly to an electrical busway (also called bus duct or busway distribution). Instead of running conduit and feeders throughout a facility, busway systems distribute electrical power through enclosed copper or aluminum bus bars. Bus plugs provide convenient connection points wherever power is needed.
Bus plugs are commonly used to supply power to:
Motor Control Centers (MCCs)
Industrial machinery
Manufacturing equipment
Conveyor systems
HVAC equipment
Distribution panels
Process equipment
Temporary equipment installations
Because bus plugs can often be relocated along the busway, facilities gain significantly more flexibility than with traditional hard-wired electrical distribution systems.
Many industrial facilities continue operating busway systems installed decades ago. While these systems remain highly reliable, replacement bus plugs are often difficult to source because original manufacturers have discontinued many product lines.
Select Equipment specializes in supporting both current and obsolete busway systems.
Our inventory includes:
New bus plugs
Professionally reconditioned bus plugs
Surplus inventory
Hard-to-find and obsolete models
Replacement breaker bus plugs
Replacement fusible bus plugs
Custom sourcing solutions
If your existing bus plug is no longer manufactured, our team can often locate an equivalent replacement or recommend the most practical retrofit solution.
Every facility has different power distribution requirements. We stock and source a wide variety of bus plug configurations, including:
Breaker bus plugs incorporate a molded case circuit breaker to provide overcurrent protection and a convenient disconnecting means. They are commonly used in manufacturing plants, commercial buildings, and industrial facilities where equipment protection and easy maintenance are priorities.
Fusible bus plugs utilize replaceable fuses to provide circuit protection. Many older industrial facilities continue operating fusible bus plugs because of their reliability and high interrupting ratings.
Disconnect-only bus plugs provide a safe means of isolating equipment without integrated overcurrent protection when protection is located elsewhere in the electrical system.
We also support numerous specialty configurations including various voltage ratings, ampacities, enclosure styles, and manufacturer-specific busway designs.
Our inventory includes bus plugs from many of the industry's most recognized manufacturers, including:
ABB
Siemens
ITE
Square D
Eaton
Cutler-Hammer
General Electric (GE)
Westinghouse
Federal Pacific
Bulldog
Crouse-Hinds
And many additional legacy and obsolete manufacturers
Even if your manufacturer is no longer producing replacement equipment, there is a good chance we can help identify a suitable solution.
One of the biggest challenges facing industrial facilities today is maintaining aging electrical infrastructure after OEM support has ended.
Many facilities still rely on busway systems installed 30, 40, or even 50 years ago. While the busway itself may continue operating reliably, locating compatible replacement bus plugs becomes increasingly difficult each year.
Select Equipment has extensive experience supporting obsolete electrical distribution equipment. Our team works with customers to identify legacy products, locate replacement components, recommend retrofit options when appropriate, and help extend the service life of existing electrical systems.
Rather than forcing costly busway replacement projects, we often help facilities restore existing systems safely and economically.
Don't worry if the catalog number is worn off or missing.
Our specialists can often identify a bus plug using:
Manufacturer name
Busway model
Nameplate information
Voltage
Amperage
Photographs
Physical dimensions
Existing circuit breaker information
Simply send us photos of your existing equipment, and we'll help identify the correct replacement.
