A.C. current distribution system
First Claim
1. An a.c. current distribution system fed by a current source for providing electrical power to a load, the current distribution system comprising a first and a second conductive means which run parallel to one another and are spaced apart a small distance from one another, which are connectable, respectively, at one end to the current source and which are connected together at the other end to form a current loop, and coupling means to couple substantially one half of the load in series at a first position along the first conductive means and to couple the remaining half of the load in series at a second position along the second conductive means, the first and second positions being substantially the same distance along the first and second conductive means from the current source.

Abstract
An a.c. current distribution system fed by a current source for providing electrical power to a load, the current distribution system comprising a first and second conductive means connectable to the current source and coupling means to couple substantially one half of the load in series at a first position along the first conductive means and to couple substantially the other half of the load in series at a second position along the second conductive means, the first and second positions being substantially the same distance along the first and second conductive means from the current source.
