Elsewedy Electric launched the first busway dielectric epoxy insulation system facility in Africa, Invest-Gate reports.

The busway system is a prefabricated electrical distribution system consisting of bus bars in a protective enclosure including straight lengths, fittings, devices, and accessories.

It is the ideal solution for large-built structures and buildings that require high preventive security standards due to its excellent short circuit, distribution of loads, and significantly low magnetic field, which minimizes its fire load and maximizes safety.

Moreover, Elsewedy Electric busway system is the first local epoxy insulated busway system in the local market, compactly designed, flexible and easy to install with minimal maintenance and manpower requirements.

The new product is available in two ranges; POWERLINK that is made from the highest connective electrical grade copper conductor, and SPINE that is made from bi-metal aluminum; following international specifications and to be certified by ASTA/ UL.

Customers will be supported with a full design package for both BIM and AutoCAD, a full pre-sales and after-sales customer services, emergency production & services teams, and a 24/7 hotline with the aim of providing a comprehensive and satisfying customer experience.

Elsewedy Electric busway system factory is built on a 36,271 sqm, with 50% covered area in the 10th of Ramadan city. It is set to be one of the largest factories in the Middle East region, providing end markets with sandwiched non-ventilated busway systems, from 630 A to 6300 A copper and 630 A to 5000 A Aluminum (bimetal) conductor.

“Introducing this high-tech busway system with international standards to the local and global markets proves that Elsewedy Electric has taken another big step towards localizing product manufacturing in Egypt, just in line with the national vision,” Abdel Rahman El Sewedy, Head of Strategy and Corporate Development, states.

For his part, Medhat Rizk, GM of Elsewedy Electric Busway System, says, “the company offers a complete range of transformers via 10 manufacturing facilities across Africa and Asia and has recently signed an agreement with Wolong Electric to trade electrical motors and establish a world-class service center while exploring a strategy to localize the motor industry in Egypt.”
