Tap-off boxes are used to draw power from the busway.  The tap-off boxes have a special plug head (mast) which inserts into the busway (busduct) track slot.  Twist the tap-off box 90 degrees to make electrical connection.  The copper blades in the mast fit into the busbar channel inside the busway track for a compression connection.  Power tap-off boxes are available in different configurations and capacities, ranging from single-phase 120 V to three-phase 415V/240V.  The tap-off boxes typically contain circuit breakers and outlets or a drop cord with a receptacle.  

PDU Cables is now the exclusive distributor of Busway Solutions tap-off boxes.  Busway Solutions has engineered a series of tap-off boxes designed specifically to accommodate Starline T5 Track "U" shaped open channel busway system.
