Abstract:
1. A bus assembly for electrical power distribution, comprising: a first support; a second support; a plurality of generally U-shaped buses each for connecting to a respective phase of a multi-phase power system, each bus comprising: a first pair of substantially co-planar first elongated conductors having first ends thereof supported by the first support and second ends thereof supported by the second support, said first elongated conductors having opposed longitudinal edges that are spaced apart from each other; a second pair of substantially co-planar opposing elongated conductors having first ends thereof supported by the first support and second ends thereof supported by the second support such that said opposing elongated conductors, at both the first ends thereof and the second ends thereof, are spaced apart from and facing said first elongated conductors so as to form parallel legs of said U shape, said opposing elongated conductors having opposed longitudinal edges that are spaced apart from each other; a third pair of substantially co-planar transverse elongated conductors situated transversely between said first and second pairs of elongated conductors so as to form a bight end of said U shape, said transverse elongated conductors having opposed longitudinal edges that are spaced apart from each other; and a connector for electrically connecting said first, second and third pairs of elongated conductors.
