Maximize Efficiency and Savings with Busway & Bus Plugs

Save money and avoid costly downtime by upgrading or replacing deteriorated busway and bus plugs with reconditioned to enhance your facility’s operations. By making this smart investment, you ensure the long-term reliability of your electrical system while improving overall efficiency and performance. Reconditioned and safety-tested bus plugs offer significant savings over new equipment while maintaining high reliability and performance. These bus plugs undergo rigorous testing and inspection to meet industry standards, safeguarding your system’s integrity and ensuring dependable operation. Additionally, used and reconditioned options are often more readily available, reducing lead times and enabling faster upgrades, helping to minimize disruptions and keep your business running smoothly.

The J&P Electrical Guarantee

Not only can you save 50-75% compared to the cost of new equipment, but you can also trust that our reconditioned products are completely rebuilt, inspected, and tested to look and perform like new. At J&P Electrical, we specialize in producing high-quality reconditioned equipment. Our rigorous process starts with products that have a UL listing from the manufacturer. Each part is disassembled, cleaned, inspected, and painted with a durable acrylic enamel before being reassembled. Finally, all equipment is tested multiple times to ensure it meets or exceeds the manufacturer’s UL certification, with dielectric voltage withstand testing covering phase-to-phase and phase-to-ground (neutral). The result is equipment that is as reliable and durable as new, at a fraction of the cost—and all products come with a full one-year warranty.

Buyer’s Checklist for Bus Plugs

Ensure you choose the right bus plug by considering:

• Amperage: Match the bus plug’s capacity to your electrical load.
• Grounding: Opt for options that ensure safety and system stability.
• Fusible or Breaker Style: Select based on cost considerations or operational needs.
• Voltage: Verify compatibility with your system’s electrical potential.
• Bus Plug Wiring: Ensure compatibility for effective connection and performance.

FAQ’s About Selecting the Right Bus Plug Replacements

• What factors should determine the amperage rating for my bus plugs?

When selecting the amperage rating for your bus plugs, consider your system’s electrical load, the maximum current the bus plug can handle, and potential future expansion needs. Selecting the correct amperage helps prevent overloading, enhances safety, and prolongs the lifespan of your electrical components.

• Should I choose fusible or breaker-style bus plugs?

Your specific requirements will guide your choice between fusible or breaker-style bus plugs. Fusible bus plugs are cost-effective and can handle higher fault currents, but they need fuse replacement after each use. On the other hand, breaker-style bus plugs are resettable with adjustable trip settings, reducing downtime and offering greater operational flexibility, though they typically come with a higher initial cost.

• How crucial is proper grounding, and what options are available?

Proper grounding is crucial for ensuring electrical safety and achieving optimal system performance. It safeguards against faults and surges, reducing the risk of equipment damage while ensuring compliance with safety regulations. To ensure a secure and stable electrical environment, make sure the bus plugs you choose offer adequate grounding options that align with your system’s needs.

• What voltage ratings are suitable for my electrical system?

Verify your electrical system’s voltage requirements to ensure safe compatibility with the bus plugs. For safe and efficient operation, the bus plug’s voltage rating should be equal to or greater than your system’s operating voltage. Common voltage ratings include 120V, 208V, 240V, 480V, and 600V. To prevent malfunctions or safety hazards, ensure the bus plugs you select can handle the voltage in your system.

• What are the advantages of reconditioned bus plugs compared to new ones?

These options offer substantial cost savings while delivering reliability and performance comparable to new components. Reconditioned bus plugs undergo comprehensive testing to ensure they meet industry standards, making them a practical and cost-effective solution for maintaining and upgrading your electrical system.
