Overview

IP68 cast-resin busway

GM is a fully enclosed, cast-resin busway from Wetown Electric. Epoxy resin with a halogen-free mineral filler seals the copper or aluminum conductors completely, so the run stays protected in water, salt mist, chemicals and buried installations. Ideal when the project needs IP68.

Best for: Wet, corrosive or buried runs that need IP68

Key features

  • IP68 sealed

    Designed to stay energized safely when immersed in more than 1 m of water.

  • Cast epoxy resin

    Epoxy resin and halogen-free inorganic mineral filler. No toxic gas emissions.

  • Copper or aluminum

    High-purity electrolytic copper or 6101 T64 aluminum alloy conductors.

  • Corrosion resistant

    Resists chemical corrosion, electromagnetic interference, animals and insects.

  • Mechanically robust

    Withstands 20 J of mechanical impact and the spray of a fire hydrant.

  • Horizontal or vertical

    Installs as horizontal hoisted runs or vertical risers.

Are you looking for medium-voltage busway?

GM-Z is a cast-resin busway built for medium-voltage power: typically the link between generators, transformers and switchgear in power plants and large industrial sites.

It is engineered and quoted project by project. Most commercial and industrial buildings need a low-voltage system such as LVA or GM instead.
