Flexible Power for the Automotive Industry

With its dual AC/DC rating, Starline Track Busway is the perfect choice for electric vehicle charging. It is becoming increasingly important as the drive toward electric vehicle mobility gains momentum. And when it comes to powering indoor and covered parking facilities, Starline Series-S Busway eliminates the need for costly electric runs and trenching for pedestal designs, drastically reducing installation time and costs. The Series-S Busway system allows users to install the system anywhere that additional water, dust, or other contaminants require up to an IP54 or NEMA 3R rating.

Similar to traditional track lighting, the busway has an open track that can accommodate any lighting fixture. In contrast with traditional track lighting, the same Starline Track Busway run can be utilized to simultaneously power lights plus small loads such as power tools, security cameras, speakers, etc. This unique feature significantly reduces installation time and material costs.

With more than 60 million possible combinations, Starline Plug-In Units are vital for the flexibility of your operation. Finger safe, plug-and-play units can be positioned at any point along the continuous access slot that runs along the base of the Starline Track Busway system. Cleverly designed, the paddle-head connector allows safe insertion before being turned 90 degrees for full engagement. Units are fully customizable and can incorporate well-known industrial components such as Walther® connectors, Meltric® connectors, Bussmann® fuses, etc.

The combined installation of compressed air lines, such as Parker’s TransAir® flexible compressed air, with Starline Track Busway provides additional savings to automotive makers and suppliers. These two necessities—electric power and compressed air—are essential to operation and can now be installed together, which decreases labor costs.

Starline Track Busway supports up to 75 lbs (34 kg) of hanging weight between vertical supports in every 10 ft (3 meter) section, allowing TransAir® installation in the same unistrut structure for optimal savings and installation time reduction.

Deploying the same ‘plug n play’ principle as Track Busway, Plug-In Raceway also excels at providing power to industrial environments. Scalable and relocatable, the raceway makes a perfect addition to lean manufacturing environments.

Raceway gives you the power to meet future changing facility needs by being able to easily expand, reconfigure or relocate the system. Simply snap the pre-assembled modules into place along the backplane of the raceway wherever a connection to power is required such as conveyors, testing labs, and even walls in conference rooms, office areas, and cafeterias.

Rated for DC Power, Starline Track Busway provides the infrastructure your business needs to integrate several renewable energy power sources such as batteries, solar cells, DC lighting, etc.

Featuring the IP50 universal connector, Starline Track Busway allows the seamless and gradual transition into LED lighting fixtures or any other energy efficient lighting systems.

Starline’s Multi Use Mounting Bracket can be easily installed on the side of the busway run. The accessory allows our customers to “piggy back” and hang power tools, suspend compressed air lines and accessory lighting, hold and route cables, etc., reducing installation costs and adding flexibility to their operation.
