Strip electrical system

A wiring assembly for mounting on an exposed surface of a wall or wall panel to supply electrical power to the wall or wall panel, the assembly comprising:

• a plurality of conductive bus bars;
• an insulating support having a base;
• said base having a plurality of generally parallel dividers that define a plurality of spaces in the base of said support which each receive one of the conductive bus bars;
• means for coupling the support to the exposed surface;
• a plurality of covers each having generally opposite ends and each coupled to the support so that portions of the conductive bus bars lie between the support and a respective one of the covers, and the ends of adjacent covers are spaced apart to define outlet spaces therebetween so that portions of the bus bars are exposed in the outlet spaces;
• and
• an outlet coupled to selected ones of the bus bars in each of the outlet spaces between adjacent covers so that the exposed portions of the bus bars between the covers on the support lie between the support and the outlet.

A modular wiring assembly for mounting on an exposed surface of at least one wall or wall panel to supply electrical power to the wall or wall panel, the assembly comprising:

• a plurality of conductive bus bars;
• a plurality of insulating supports each having a base and a plurality of generally parallel first dividers extending from the base to define a plurality of spaces in the support between the first dividers that are configured to receive one of the conductive bus bars;
• means for coupling the supports to the exposed surface to position the supports adjacent one another so that a continuous wiring strip is formed on the exposed surface;
• a plurality of covers each having generally opposite ends and each coupled to the supports so that first portions of the conductive bus bars lie between a respective one of the supports and a respective one of the covers and the ends of adjacent covers coupled to the same support are spaced apart;
• a plurality of outlets coupled to selected ones of the bus bars so that second portions of the bus bars lie between a respective one of the supports and a respective one of the outlets;
• and
• a jumper located between each pair of adjacent supports and electrically coupled to the plurality of conductive bus bars located in each adjacent support in the pair.
