Direct heated edge director assembly

A method of forming a glass article comprising:

• supplying molten glass to a forming body comprising a first converging forming surface and a second converging forming surface opposite the first converging forming surface, and an edge director assembly disposed at a first end of the forming body, the edge director assembly comprising a first edge director in contact with the first converging forming surface and a second edge director in contact with the second converging forming surface, the first edge director and the second edge director each comprising an outward-facing surface;
• flowing the molten glass over the first and second converging forming surfaces of the forming body and the outward-facing surface of each of the first edge director and the second edge director;
• heating the edge director assembly by flowing electrical current through the edge director assembly;
• and
• drawing the molten glass from a bottom edge of the forming body,
• wherein the electrical current comprises a three-phase electrical current, and wherein:
• a first bus bar assembly is joined to the first edge director:
• a second bus bar assembly is joined to the second edge director;
• a third bus bar assembly is joined to a joined edge joining the first edge director to the second edge director.
