A leading manufacturer in secondary bus systems, Watteredge’s 3 Phase Delta Closures and Bus Assemblies are commonly specified by OEM furnace manufacturers.

Our custom fabricated 3 phase copper delta closures and bus assemblies are the product of choice in the steel melting industry to close the secondary delta of a high current three phase transformer. It also conducts the current from the transformer through a vault wall to the power cables.

As steel production requirements have increased over the years, power requirements for the steel melting process has increased. By the 1960s, higher current requirements have made it impractical to manufacture the secondary bus system as an air cooled assembly, giving rise to today’s needs for a water cooled bus assembly.
