Bus system connecting bus bars and a method of connecting bus bars

摘要

According to an aspect of the disclosure, there is provided an electrical distribution bus system that includes first and second bus bars, a dielectric insulator, and at least one fastener coupling the bus bars and dielectric insulator. Each of the bus bars includes an elbow portion from which a pair of straight portions extends at elbow angles, the straight portions being disposed at right angles to each other. The dielectric insulator has a length and a width, the width being no greater than twice the length, the length extending perpendicularly between the elbow portions. The fastener couples the dielectric insulator between the bus bars, the dielectric insulator electrically insulating the first and second bus bar from one another.

1. An electrical distribution bus system comprising:
at least a first bus bar, the first bus bar including a first elbow portion from which a first pair of straight portions extends, a first portion of said first pair extending at a first elbow angle to the first elbow portion, a second portion of said first pair extending at a second elbow angle to the first elbow portion, and the first and second portions of the first pair being disposed in respective planes disposed at right angles to one another, at least a second bus bar, the second bus bar including a second elbow portion from which a second pair of straight portions extends, a first portion of said second pair extending at a third elbow angle to the second elbow portion, and a second portion of said second pair extending at a fourth elbow angle to the second elbow portion, and the first and second portions of the second pair being disposed in respective planes disposed at right angles to one another, a dielectric insulator having a length and a width, the length extending perpendicularly between said elbow portions, and at least one fastener coupling the dielectric insulator between said bus bars, the dielectric insulator electrically insulating the first and second bus bar from one another.
