Legrand track busway technology provides critical power distribution for modern infrastructure
LEGRAND has expanded its critical power portfolio with integrated solutions designed for reliable, efficient, safe and flexible power distribution in many applications, including commercial buildings, healthcare facilities, data centres and industrial sites.
As demand for dependable electrical infrastructure increases, Legrand’s approach focuses on delivering stable power distribution, while addressing space constraints, operational continuity and energy efficiency.
The company’s critical power solutions combine modular distribution design with high-efficiency upstream equipment, enabling designers and operators to adapt systems efficiently as operational requirements change.
A central system in critical power is the latest generation Legrand Data Center Track Busway technology, which addresses the operational pressures facing today’s high-density, AI-intensive computing environments. Engineered for reliability, safety and long-term efficiency, the system comprises modular, monitored power distribution infrastructure that supports scalable, fault-resilient data centre operations.
Stand-out features compared to conventional busway systems include the combination of advanced safety features, rapid tool-free installation, integrated intelligent monitoring and cost-efficiency.
This system has been designed to replace traditional cabling with a compact, expandable power rail that enables rapid configuration changes and branch expansion without interrupting supply. The flat profile design and compact installation clearances optimise overhead space, while supporting A and B busway configurations.
The track busway, with current ratings from 160 A to 800 A, incorporates hot-swappable power meters at end feeds and tap-off boxes, allowing real-time monitoring of voltage, current, power, energy and joint temperatures. These meters support standard communication protocols, enabling integration into data centre infrastructure management platforms, to provide operators with detailed visibility of rack-level power consumption.
Legrand’s transformers have been designed to reduce energy losses and minimise environmental impact and their distribution boards form the backbone of every building.
Support services
The local operation works with strategic partners, enabling the team to offer direct installation and after-sales services. They work together to provide in-house designs, specifications and critical power solutions, ensuring that suitable products are selected for every installation.
The Legrand team – which comprises highly skilled engineers and technicians in Cape Town, Johannesburg and Durban – also offers services in Botswana, Namibia and Zambia. A dependable after-sales service, with a dedicated service support line, includes Tier 3 level support to data centres.
Legrand’s environmentally responsible approach to constantly changing project requirements, is enhanced through the company’s support services and solutions plan. This initiative enhances ongoing technological developments of the company’s product portfolio, in terms of energy efficiency, quality power supply, safety and aesthetics.
