Due to how it’s connected together, busway is relatively simple to install, change, and add onto. Lifetime cost is lower than with the raceway-and-conductor method. But there are several reasons why busway isn't used for all service, feeder, and branch circuits. |

|  Cuts, abrasions, blisters, splinters (metal, plastic, or wood), and bruises are part of the normal experience for some people, while others simply do not get these injuries.
