Abstract
Apparatus for coupling generated power to an output load. The apparatus comprises a first mounting rail, adapted for electrically coupling a power element to the output load. The first mounting rail comprises a frame defining a cavity; an insulative material disposed within at least a portion of the cavity; and a first at least two conductors, encapsulated within the insulative material, adapted for coupling power from the power element to the output load.

2 more elements
A method for creating a mounting rail for coupling generated power to an output load, comprising:
- maintaining each conductor of at least two conductors in a spaced apart position within a cavity of a frame of the mounting rail, wherein the at least two conductors are adapted for coupling output power from a power element to the output load;
- filling at least a portion of the cavity with an insulative material such that the insulative material encapsulates the at least two conductors.
