State-of-the-art design
Maintenance-free
TECHNOLOGY and that ’ s what makes us unique .”
The Starline brand was first created when the company ’ s owner Donald Ross Jr . had the idea of creating a smartly-designed , stationary , yet flexible overhead power supply system . This idea soon morphed into Starline Track Busway , one of the industry ’ s leading overhead electrical power distribution systems .
State-of-the-art design
Using a patented u-shaped copper design , the Track Busway system is a simple , versatile , fast , and economical solution for supplying power to electrical loads . Tested to the best short-circuit rating in the market , the busway system distributes electricity with greater ease and flexibility which can be critical for energy-intensive companies . Thanks to its unique u-shaped copper design , there is constant tension that ensures a continuous , reliable connection to power . It also features an open channel system with a continuous access slot . This means that power can be tapped at any location , making it an ideal solution for sites that are looking to expand or have the ability to change layouts .
Maintenance-free
“ From my perspective , another unique aspect of Starline is that all our joints are bolt-free ,” adds George . “ This means that the busway is maintenance-free compared with traditional busways , where there are nuts and bolts in every joint . With traditional busway systems you need to do regular maintenance and they will need to shut down power . However , with Starline , it ’ s a maintenance-free system where you do not need to shut down the power . There ’ s no downtime and so the equipment really enhances the reliability of the whole power chain .” Sustainability is one of the most pressing issues that is driving today ’ s data centres towards change and innovation . The Starline product line is meeting this challenge face on by investing heavily in state-of-the-art metering technology , including in-house metering that allows customers to measure their energy at the point of use . That way , customers know how much power they consume , how much they spend , and how they could make potential savings .
