Abstract
A bus bar assembly for a power distribution unit or other piece of electrical equipment includes a stack of bus bars configured to be attached to a surface and insulated from one another. The bus bars have aligned longitudinal centerlines and respective widths that decrease along a direction perpendicular to the surface to provide a stepped profile in cross-section. In some embodiments, the bus bars may have substantially the same cross-sectional area.
