1. An electric busway system comprising:
- a plurality of electrically conductive bars, each of said bars being electrically insulated from each other, and extending parallel to each other;
a pair of metallic side plates, one on each side of said plurality of conductive bars, said pltes providing a housing enclosure to said conductive bars; and
a plurality of tabs, each said tab extending parallel to and being welded or brazed to a respective said conductive bar said tabs being offset from each other to define spaces between adjacent said tabs to facilitate insertion of electrical connection means into said spaces, thereby providing external electrical connection with said tabs.
