A busbar for use in a busbar assembly, the busbar having an elongate body portion structured to be generally disposed about, an in contact with an elongate inner component, the body portion being formed from a conductive material.

Press-fit busbar and busway employing same

An improved conductive busbar assembly and power distribution track utilizing the improved conductive busbar assembly. The busbar assembly including an inner component adapted to engage a stab member of a plug-in unit and an outer component disposed about, and in contact with, the inner component. The inner and outer components are both formed from an electrically conductive material. The busbar assembly provides greater current-carrying capacity and permits take-off devices to be installed at any point along the busway run. (continuous access)

A data and power distribution system for an electrical busway is provided. The system has a base plate and a data channel located adjacent to or proximate to the base plate. The data channel is structured to receive a number of data transport devices therein. An electrical busway is coupled to the base plate and a power channel is located adjacent to or proximate to the base plate. The power channel is structured to receive the electrical busway therein. The data channel is located proximate to the power channel and the base plate is a unitary component. The base plate may have a number of locations on the base plate that are structured to receive fasteners in order to directly attach the base plate to a mounting surface.

Data and power distribution system for an electrical busway

A power module for an electrical busway is provided. The power module has a holder with an aperture provided therein and a number of posts provided thereon. A plug-in adapter is received within the aperture of the holder. The plug-in adapter has a number of electrical contacts that are structured to engage the electrical busway. A number of connection mechanisms are coupled to at least one of the number of posts. The connection mechanisms are structured to engage a base plate. A cover plate is provided with the holder and the connection mechanisms coupled thereto. The base plate and the cover plate define a power channel with the plug-in adapter and the connection mechanisms located within the power channel. A power module in combination with an electrical busway coupled to a base plate that is structured to be directly attached to a mounting surface is also provided.
