## Abstract

A bus bar arrangement including two or more bus bars arranged for conducting currents, wherein the two or more busbars are arranged parallel and at a distance from each other, the arrangement including a magnetic structure which is arranged between two bus bars which are next to each other.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A bus bar arrangement comprising: two or more bus bars arranged for conducting currents, wherein the two or more busbars are arranged parallel and at a distance from each other; and a magnetic material structure which is arranged between two bus bars which are next to each other, and wherein the magnetic material structure is in contact with at least two bus bars of the bus bar arrangement;
wherein the arrangement comprises a supporting structure which is arranged to support the two or more bus bars,
wherein the supporting structure is arranged to support the bus bars with respect to each other,
wherein the magnetic material structure has a higher permeability in the second direction y and in the direction of length of the bus bars than in the first direction x,
wherein the magnetic material structure has a height which is greater than the height of the bus bars,
wherein the magnetic material structure comprises electrically insulating surface, and
wherein the magnetic material structure comprises a pack of laminated steel sheets.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The arrangement according to claim 1, wherein the bus bars of the arrangement are elongated structures and comprise a width and a height in the first x and second y directions correspondingly, the first and second directions being perpendicular to the direction of the length of the bus bars and the bus bars are arranged parallel at the same level, such that in a cross section of the bus bar arrangement, which is taken in the plane defined by the first and second directions, an edge of the bus bars are in a same level in the second direction y.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The arrangement according to claim 1, wherein the magnetic material structure is arranged between the two bus bars, and in a cross section of the arrangement the center line of the magnetic material structure in the second direction corresponds to the center lines of the bus bars in the second direction y.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The arrangement according to claim 1, wherein the magnetic material structure forms a part of the supporting structure.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The arrangement according to claim 1, wherein the magnetic material structure is attached to at least two bus bars of the bus bar arrangement.

### Claim 6 (depends on 2)

The arrangement according to claim 2, wherein the magnetic material structure is arranged between the two bus bars, and in a cross section of the arrangement the center line of the magnetic material structure in the second direction corresponds to the center lines of the bus bars in the second direction y.

### Claim 7

The arrangement according to 4, wherein the magnetic material structure is attached to at least two bus bars of the bus bar arrangement.
