Abstract
An assembly for electrical distribution includes not less than six conductors, the assembly defining a distribution portion and a source application portion, load connecting portions of the conductors being arranged in overlying layers in the distribution portion of the assembly. The load connecting portion of each conductor includes at least one load connection portion projecting beyond the overlying layers of the assembly whereby each load is connected between two conductors at the distribution portion of the assembly. The source connection portion of each conductor having at least one connection element, the source connection portion of each conductor being electrically isolated from the source connection portions of all other conductors. The assembly further includes a common conductor for connection to a neutral reference of the source and conductive straps for selectively interconnecting conductors and the common conductor to electrically configure the connected loads according to one of single phase, three phase wye and three phase delta configurations.
