Customer Case

Customer Case Study: Busway System Saves Over ¥940,000 in Power Distribution for a 50,000㎡ Factory

Overview:

In a large-scale manufacturing facility covering 50,000 square meters, a major industrial client faced a critical decision in selecting the most efficient, safe, and cost-effective power distribution solution. The engineering team evaluated two competing options: a busway system from a certified busduct manufacturer, and a traditional cable tray + bridge scheme.


Challenge:

With high power demand and the need for scalable distribution, the client needed a system that offered:

  • Long-term cost savings

  • Simple and safe installation

  • Future-proof capacity expansion

  • Minimal maintenance and fire risk


Solution Provided by Leading Busduct Manufacturer:

The client partnered with Ohory Electric, an experienced busduct manufacturer, to design and deliver a turnkey busway system solution optimized for factory environments.

Busway System Configuration:

  • 1000A – 140m

  • 2000A – 210m

  • 2500A – 325m

  • Cables Used: 4×240mm² – 400m

  • Lump Sum Cost: ¥3,010,000


Comparison: Busway System vs Cable Tray Solution

AspectBusway SystemCable + Bridge Scheme
Total Cost¥3.01 million¥3.95 million
SafetyHigh (fire-retardant, enclosed)Risk of fire spread
InstallationTurnkey, minimal excavationRequires trenching (600×1000mm)
MaintenanceEasy, visible, and modularComplex, with hidden risks
Future Capacity UpgradeSimpleRequires cabinet reconfiguration
Floor SpaceOptimized overhead routingOccupies floor/trench space
Even if cable capacity is reduced (downshifting), the total cost still exceeds ¥3.4 million — more than the busduct solution.

Key Advantages of Busway System for Factories:

  1. Turnkey project minimizes installation time and disruption.

  2. Avoids hazardous trenching work in active production areas.

  3. Compatible with future power upgrades and layout changes.

  4. Eliminates high-cost low-voltage cabinet upgrades.

  5. Lower total cost by over ¥940,000 compared to cable + bridge schemes.

  6. Built-in fire resistance and longer lifespan ensure maximum safety.

  7. Streamlined routing improves factory floor layout and power management.



  8. Client Outcome:

  9. By selecting the busway system from a certified busduct manufacturer, the client achieved:

  10. Over 24% cost savings on power distribution

  11. Faster project turnaround

  12. Long-term operational reliability

  13. Improved safety compliance for industrial environments
