GE Armor Clad Busway Instructions

A busway is a type of metal circuitry that provides power distribution for a variety of objects, such as computers and other small machines. The busway is made up of several smaller parts, including the busbar and housing. Most of the pieces inside a busway are coated with insulation to protect them against, heat and to prevent the unit from overheating. You can install your own insulating coating onto a busway if you use an epoxy insulation coating.

Toothpick

  Dip each piece into the liquid two more times for an insulating coating that is about one-eighth inch thick. Allow each layer to dry for 24 hours before adding the next or using the busway.
