ABSTRACT:
An electrical power distribution busway system which includes a housing having side channels and top and bottom channels is described. The channels enclose and secure at least one stack of conductive busbars in place. At least one of the top or bottom housing channels is adjustably mounted between the side channels so the overall housing may be adjusted to accommodate various arrangements of busbars or busbars having different thicknesses. In a preferred form of the invention, the adjustable channels include holes which are aligned with elongate slots through the side channels. Fasteners extending through the aligned holes and slots allow the adjustable channel to be moved and fixed at different locations along the elongate slot.
