Designs and arrangements of electrical power distribution units for attenuation of magnetic fields

摘要

Disclosed herein are electrical power distribution units designed to substantially reduce the magnetic fields emanating from the power distribution units by using two or more bus bar elements for each electric carrying element of the bus system, and positioning each bus bar element in parallel and adjacent at least one other bus bar element carrying a different electrical phase or current direction. Various arrangements of bus bar elements are also disclosed, as well as methods of modifying conventional power distribution units to provide such bus bar arrangements of the invention, that substantially reduce the magnetic fields emanating from the bus bar systems of the units.
