EAE busway and data center busway

EAE is a Turkish maker of busway, cable tray and support systems, data center rack cabinets and lighting, based in Esenyurt, Istanbul. It began building busbar trunking in Turkey in the 1970s. EAE USA Inc, in Tucker, Georgia, sells its busway in the US, including the KD-III data rack busway for data center white space. It does not build transformers. It is on this site because its busway carries power from the transformer and switchgear to the load.

How they sell

Builds to order, so a purchase order buys a production slot rather than a unit on a shelf.

In practice that means a purchase order is a place in a queue. Ask for the lead time from purchase order in writing, and ask whether the quoted date is a ship date or a production start. Those are not the same thing and quotes rarely say which.

Where they fit on a job

Federal work needs TAA eligible origin, so confirm the country of manufacture on the specific unit rather than assuming from the brand. Many brands build in several countries.
