Patent ID: 8669472

Claim:
An electrical busway assembly for distributing electricity, the electrical busway assembly comprising: a stack of busbars including a plurality of electrically conductive busbars stacked one on top of the other to define a stack top and a stack bottom; a duct side disposed on a side of the stack of busbars; a surge clamp engaging the stack top or the stack bottom; a bolt passing through the duct side and mating with the surge clamp thereby attaching the surge clamp to the duct side; and a compression nut threadably engaging the bolt; wherein rotation of the bolt effectuates movement of the compression nut in a first direction, the movement of the compression nut applying a first nut force on the surge clamp in a second direction, the first nut force moving the surge clamp in a third direction whereby the surge clamp applies a first compressive force to the stack of busbars.
