A busbar system includes a plurality of bar modules arranged one behind the other and connected to each other via clamping brackets. Each bar module has a plurality of busbars. The bar module end including the recesses running in a longitudinal extension is inserted into the clamping bracket and the bar module end with the recesses running transversely to the longitudinal extension is suspended on the opposite side in the clamping bracket. Each of the busbars of the one bar module rests laterally against a busbar of the other bar module and the recesses, as viewed from the side, form a through-opening, through which a tensioning element supported on the clamping bracket runs, which presses together the sides of the busbars which rest against each other.

Busbar system

An embodiment of the invention relates to busbars having different cross sections for a busbar system with a common protection and/or neutral conductor for the transport of electrical energy. The busbar system includes at least one first segment and a second segment, the segments having each at least one first busbar with a first cross-sectional area, at least a second busbar with a second cross-sectional area, a holding element and at least one connection. According to an embodiment of the invention, the busbars of the segments are held by the respective holding element and are electrically connected to each other via the at least one connection, and a busbar from either the first busbars or second busbars serves as a common protection conductor and/or as a common neutral conductor.
