ABSTRACT:
An electrical bus isolation system includes a pair of bus bar supporting members, each of which includes a first substantially flat surface portion configured to retain a first bus bar, and second and third substantially flat surface portions each disposed on opposite sides of the first surface portion, and defining an offset in height from the first surface portion. The second and third surface portions are configured to retain opposite lateral sides of a second bus bar when the pair of supporting members are operatively engaged, with corresponding second and third surface portions facing each other such that the first bus bar is retained in a fixed position relative to the second bus bar in a parallel spaced relationship thereto and at a distance determined by the offset in height. An air gap between the bus bars electrically isolates the bus bars and prevents corona discharge between the bus bars.
