A busway system is provided. The busway system includes a first electrical busway section and a busway joint. The busway joint includes a plurality of conductors spaced apart in parallel and a first assembly. The conductors and the first assembly are coupled to the first busway section. The first assembly includes a plurality of insulation laminations spaced apart to define a plurality of gaps, a plurality of insulating spacers positioned within the gaps adjacent the conductors, and a plurality of bracing fasteners extending through the insulation laminations and the insulating spacers. Each gap receives at least one conductor. A width of the gap is substantially filled by the conductors and the insulating spacers. The bracing fasteners secure the conductors within the first assembly.
