A power distribution system includes a server rack comprising a vertically stacked plurality of power shelf assemblies. Each assembly has first and second opposing sides defining vertical planes, and third and fourth opposing sides extending between the first and second sides. For each assembly, a first bus bar extends along a horizontal plane between the third and fourth sides, a second bus bar extends along the horizontal plane between the first bus bar and the first side of the assembly, a first set of power supply pins extends along the horizontal plane from the first bus bar toward the second side of the assembly, and a second set of power supply pins extends along the horizontal plane from the second bus bar toward the second side of the assembly, wherein the second set of power supply pins further protrude through respective apertures in the first bus bar.

High current busbar system for low-profile power shelves

A low profile (1U) power distribution system includes a power shelf assembly having a first side and an opposing second side. First and second bus bars extend across the assembly and substantially in parallel with the first and second sides, the second bar positioned behind the first bar. One row of power supply pins extends from the bars to engage power supply units within the assembly. A first set of pins extends from the first bus, while a second set extends from the second bar and protruding through respective apertures in the first bar. An insulating material may be provided to electrically insulate power supply pins of the second bar from the first bar. The reduced height profile of the bars allows for cooling air to pass through the remaining &#x3e;50% of the assembly, which may now desirably include additional electrical circuits within the cooling channel.
