Abstract

A low inductance bus bar arrangement suitable for industrial voltage levels, and for power applications contains two or more elongate electrical conducting bars having rounded edges. Strips of dielectric insulating material are located between two of the elongate electrical conducting bars. The conducting bars are oriented in substantially parallel relationship to one another with the dielectric insulating material having a height of the cross-section thereof substantially greater than the height of the cross-section of the conducting bars. The bus bar arrangement also provides low inductance to the connecting devices.
