Flexible, Customizable Power Solutions for Mission

Flexible, Customizable Power
Solutions for Mission Critical Success
The most critical
decision, for mission
critical facilities.
By their very nature, mission critical and data center
facilities are extremely sensitive to downtime, delays in
adding power distribution circuits, and inefficiencies.
However, with STARLINE Track Busway, power
distribution has been revolutionized. This simple,
versatile, and economical solution for supplying power
is unique because STARLINE Track Busway can be
tapped instantly at any location, without any downtime.
Having STARLINE Track Busway power for your
mission critical facilities gives you the advantage:
• Maintenance-free track busway design has been
field-proven in data centers for over 25 years.
• Plug-in units can be positioned at any point along
the busway for maximum versatility.
• Customization of plug-in units for any environment.
• Easiest installation of plug-in units – just insert
and turn.
• No complicated mechanisms or levers.
• Most reliable plug-in design with the least
amount of electrical connections from busway
to plug-in unit.
• Interchangeable plugs for systems including: B250,
B400 and B800.
• Multiple busway feed options: end, top,
center – for installation flexibility.
• Available in lengths up to 20ft. for faster installation.
• UL and ETL listed.
“STARLINE Track Busway is
ideal for the mission critical
environment. It’s so reliable,
easy-to-use and flexible
that we take the power
distribution options it
provides for granted.”

The power of simplicity.
Reduced Facility Construction Costs
With ever-increasing demands on IT infrastructure,
data center owners and operators are challenged with
keeping pace. One solution has been to increase the
power density within the facility. This continual cycle of
increasing power requirements for the critical equipment
in the racks and cabinets has translated into more and
more cables under the raised-floor or overhead.
• Laborsavingsmeaninstallationislessexpensive.
But STARLINE Track Busway is a self-contained
system, so there is no jungle of wires to obstruct air
flow. This makes it one of the most energy efficient
systems you can buy in today’s “green building”
environment. STARLINE is modular, build-as-you-need,
and equipped for high-density electrical distribution.
And it’s designed and rated to meet and exceed the
rigorous reliability demands and thermal requirements
of mission critical facilities.

Flexibility for the Future

• Requiresnoroutinemaintenance.
STARLINE also eliminates all the distribution panels
associated with traditional systems, so changes and
additions can be easily made without shutting off power.
Unlike other busway systems, STARLINE’s plug-in units
are lighter and have only one connection point, yet they
deliver the same amount of power as heavier, more
cumbersome units. The all-in-one, self-contained plug-in
units can also be inserted anywhere along the busway
in almost any NEMA configuration, and have fewer
mechanical joints for reliability and efficiency.
This busway system offers plug-in units with a wide
variety of receptacles, circuit breakers, and drop
cords. Multiple circuit breaker plug-ins are offered and
can be used in high-density applications. The simple
“turn-n-lock” connection at the heart of the system
has transformed the design and lowered the costs of
maintaining and upgrading today’s data centers.

Real-time monitoring
for peak efficiency.
Because of the market’s growing need for energy
efficiency, energy monitoring systems are more important
than ever. That’s why STARLINE offers enhanced
monitoring capabilities for our busway and raceway
systems that will allow you to monitor, integrate and display
more data center power information easily and reliably.
Monitors are factory-built into STARLINE power feeds
and plug-ins, providing a clean and seamless integration of
monitoring with power distribution. STARLINE creates
value for data center power distribution systems by
providing the critical information needed to optimize
management and efficiency.
STARLINE Plug-In Raceway enables monitoring of each
phase and neutral independently. Monitoring can be
incorporated in either of two places: at a power feed, or
directly into a plug-in unit. And real-time communication
takes place through Ethernet (both SNMP and Modbus
TCP), Modbus RTU, or an optional wireless mesh network.
STARLINE
Plug-In Raceway:
Next generation raceway
for today’s power needs.
STARLINE® Plug-In Raceway was created to meet
the ever-changing power distribution needs of the
mission critical environment. Though it may look like
other raceway products, STARLINE Plug-In Raceway
has the unique ability to add or relocate plug-in
modules anywhere on the raceway quickly and easily.
This means you can eliminate panel boards and
the associated costs of reconfiguring circuits,
receptacles and wiring. You simply snap the
pre-assembled plug-in modules into place on the
raceway backplane and the connection to power
is made automatically without having to interrupt
power. Plus, an optional datacom channel is
available for data, video and audio applications.
