Answer Posted / anand

The great advantage of Busduct are compact ( Sandwich type) and easy terminations at trf & panels. When we go for the high rise building with 20 floor, busducts ( one circuit)with floor tapping work out cheaper with less space and reduced distribution boxes. If cables to be laid then 20 circuits to be travelled from Ground floor.

Also busducts are very useful in industrial floor distibutions in a very economical way with more number of tapping.
