Electrical busway assemblies and methods of assembling same

A method of assembling a busway assembly, comprising:

• providing a plurality of busbars having a length direction, each busbar including:
• a conductor;
• and
• a busbar insulator coating the conductor;
• and
• bonding the plurality of busbars in the length direction via a bonding agent by:
• positioning the bonding agent between the plurality of busbars,
• wherein the bonding agent comprises:
• an adhesive;
• a plurality of particles having a dimension equal to or smaller than a spacing between the plurality of bus bars, wherein:
• the plurality of particles are collectively 40%-60% of the bonding agent by volume, and
• the bonding agent is configured to withstand an electromagnetic force caused by a current flowing through the plurality of busbars during a short circuit condition in the plurality of busbars, and
• the plurality of busbars are coupled with one another without mechanical fasteners, and the busway assembly has a voltage rating in a low voltage range of 1000 Volts (V) or lower.

A busway assembly, comprising:

• a plurality of busbars having a length direction, each busbar separated from adjacent busbars by a space, each busbar comprising:
• a conductor;
• and
• a busbar insulator coating the conductor;
• the busway assembly further comprising:
• a bonding agent bonded to the respective busbar insulator of at least one of the adjacent bus bars, the bonding agent positioned in the space between the adjacent busbars and configured to bond the adjacent bus bars of the plurality of busbars, the bonding agent comprising:
• an adhesive;
• and
• a plurality of particles having a dimension equal to or smaller than a spacing between the plurality of bus bars, wherein the plurality of particles are 40%-60% of the bonding agent by volume.
