ABSTRACT:
A bus system for use in electrical distribution equipment includes a generally U-shaped arrangement of conductors for supplying very high amperage (e.g., above 2000 amps) alternating current to the electrical distribution system. Compared to prior-art conductor arrangements, using the present arrangement, the conductors of a phase can be fabricated from less copper, which is an expensive metal. They also achieve better thermal dissipation and current distribution and mitigate skin effects. As a result, resistive losses, which increase with increased temperature, are reduced.
