Introduction
In today’s industrial environments, efficient and flexible power distribution is key. Bus plugs are crucial components in ensuring reliable power delivery through busway systems. Whether you're expanding your facility or maintaining an older system, choosing the right bus plugs can greatly impact your operation's safety and performance. At EMSCO, we specialize in providing used and reconditioned bus plugs, offering solutions from trusted brands like GE, Square D, and Cutler-Hammer, ensuring cost-effective and reliable options for all industrial power needs.
What Are Bus Plugs and Why Are They Important?
Bus plugs connect electrical equipment to busway systems, distributing power efficiently across facilities. Bus plugs offer flexibility in power distribution, allowing for easy reconfiguration as industrial layouts change. In addition to their adaptability, they provide essential circuit protection, ensuring equipment is safeguarded against overcurrent and electrical faults.
EMSCO is proud to offer reconditioned bus plugs that meet or exceed industry standards, giving you access to reliable equipment from trusted manufacturers at a fraction of the cost of new components.
Benefits of Choosing Used and Reconditioned Bus Plugs
Opting for used or refurbished bus plugs offers numerous benefits, especially for businesses looking to optimize costs without sacrificing quality:
- Cost Savings: Purchasing used bus plugs can save up to 50% compared to new products. With reconditioned options from brands like Square D and Siemens, you get the same quality at a reduced price.
- Access to Obsolete Parts: If you're working with an older busway system, finding parts that are no longer manufactured can be a challenge. We offer a wide selection of obsolete bus plugs, including those from legacy brands like Westinghouse and ITE.
- Faster Lead Times: At EMSCO, we maintain a large inventory of reconditioned bus plugs, which allows us to deliver products faster than competitors who rely on factory orders for new parts.
- Environmental Sustainability: Reusing and refurbishing electrical equipment reduces waste, supporting your company’s sustainability goals while keeping your operations running smoothly.
Types of Bus Plugs Available
At EMSCO, we stock a wide range of bus plugs to meet various industrial needs, including:
- Fusible Bus Plugs: These provide built-in circuit protection using fuses that disconnect the power in the event of an overcurrent, helping prevent equipment damage.
- Non-Fusible Bus Plugs: These use circuit breakers instead of fuses, allowing for quick resetting in case of a fault, reducing downtime for your operations.
We offer configurations for both high- and low-voltage systems, including 3-phase bus plugs, 10-amp bus plugs to 1600-amp bus plugs in three and four wire configurations.

Key Considerations for Selecting Bus Plugs
When choosing the appropriate used bus plug for your system, there are several important factors to keep in mind:

- Installation Requirements: Depending on your facility's layout, you may need horizontal or vertical configurations. We offer both, along with expert advice to ensure a smooth installation.
