<p>One aspect of the present invention provides a housing 100 for housing electrical equipment in an aircraft. The housing 100 comprises one or more panels 110 defining an enclosed space 150 for housing electrical equipment in an aircraft. The housing 100 also comprises at least one electrical busbar 130 for providing electric power to the electrical equipment. The at least one electrical busbar 130 is configured to provide structural support for the housing 100. By providing a housing 100 in which the busbar 130 itself provides structural support for the housing 100, various aspects and embodiments of the present invention enable a reduced weight electrical housing 100 to be provided in an aircraft. Such housings 100 may also be easier and quicker to manufacture than conventional housings since they can require less need for the use of bolts, rivets, etc. during their manufacturing and assembly process.</p> |
