Abstract
An improved conductive busbar assembly and power distribution track utilizing the improved conductive busbar assembly. The busbar assembly including an inner component adapted to engage a stab member of a plug-in unit and an outer component disposed about, and in contact with, the inner component. The inner and outer components are both formed from an electrically conductive material. The busbar assembly provides greater current-carrying capacity and permits take-off devices to be installed at any point along the busway run. (continuous access)
