1. A bus bar for electric power distribution in a power distribution switchboard, the bus bar comprising: a body made of conducting material which longitudinally extends along a principal axis and which, seen in a transversal cross-section, has a first side and a second side transversally connected to each other by a third side and a fourth side; the body having on the first side, at least a first slot and a second slot which are separated from each other and which are adapted to couple with corresponding means for fixing the bus bar to other elements and/or components; the first slot having a first bottom portion from which a first lateral wall and a second lateral wall protrude transversally facing to each other, and the second slot having a second bottom portion from which a third lateral wall and a fourth lateral wall protrude transversally facing to each other; wherein each of the first bottom portion and the second bottom portion includes two substantially straight tracts which form an angle of less than 180° between them; wherein the third lateral wall is adjacent to the second lateral wall along a transversal extension of the body with respect to the principal axis; wherein a first of the two substantially straight tracts of the first bottom portion forms an angle greater than 90° with the first lateral wall of the first slot, and a second of the two substantially tracts of the first bottom portion forms an angle greater than 90° with the second lateral wall of the first slot; wherein a first of the two substantially straight tracts of the second bottom portion forms an angle greater than 90° with the third lateral wall of the second slot, and a second of the two substantially straight tracts of the second bottom portion forms an angle greater than 90° with the fourth lateral wall of the second slot; and wherein the body has, on the second side, at least one cavity extending at least over a corresponding portion of the body, which extends between the second lateral wall and the third lateral wall.
