Abstract
An electrical busway housing system mechanically connected at the joints of adjoining housing sections by utilization of a coupling system having a top plate and a bottom plate, at least one of which has a roughened surface that provides superior gripping strength when the adjoining sections of busbar housing are clamped between them. Frictional clamping force is provided by a means of drawing the top plate and the bottom plate together and securing between them flanges or similar structural features of the busbar housing.
