What is a Bus-Way Tap or Bus-Tap?

Electrical Bus Taps are usually found overhead plugged into or attached to an Overhead Busway Duct. Generally a conduit pipe or electrical cable extends from each tap down to a machine or electrical item on the plant floor. You will need to include each of the “Taps” along the Bus Way in your panel count, as these are considered by the regulations as a panel that is likely to be serviced by a worker. Therefore an arc flash analysis should be conducted on the bus taps.
