Shopping for 200' of 480V 400amp used busway.
Do you guys know of any good used surplus companies? We prefer Copper but noticing aluminum is more readily available. Any issues with Aluminum?
It's rare to find copper installed as new these days. It's out there.
I've found buying new is a good option and leaving the surplus for blowups where short notice is needed.
Old used aluminum bus way is risky to install, back in the day it was all aluminum. ...Modern aluminum bus way is plated and alloyed with other metals to make it more resistant to corrosion and galvanic reactions. If you choose AL, make sure its plated and alloyed.
