Abstract
A touch protected busbar system (TP-BSYS) includes at least one hybrid busbar (1) having a current-carrying rail profile (2) and a contact-receiving rail profile (3) providing contact openings (4) configured to receive protruding electrical contacts (6) of electrical devices (ED-A) to be connected to the touch protected busbar system (TP-BSYS). The at least one hybrid busbar (1) is at least partially covered by electrical isolating touch protection elements (TPE) of the touch protected busbar system (TP-BSYS) and/or at least partially encapsulated by an electrical isolating layer.
