1. An electric power distribution module comprising:

  • a generally planar, electrically insulative support structure having first and second generally parallel faces,the first face of the support structure including a plurality of non-intersecting channels for receipt therein of a plurality of bus bars,the second face of the support structure including a plurality of non-intersecting grooves oriented transversely to the channels for receipt therein of a plurality of bus connector straps,the support structure thus providing electrical isolation between the bus bars and the bus connector straps,the support structure further including a hole extending through the support structure at a crossing of a bus bar and a bus connector strap for receipt therein of connection means adapted to pass through the hole and to electrically connect the bus connector strap to the bus bar,the bus bars, connector straps, and connection means in combination providing electrically conductive bus means having an input and an output and defining a circuit for directing a flow of electrical current from the input to the output; and

    current sensing means within insulative support structure for sensing a flow of electrical current in the circuit.
