InTroDuCTIon what IS A LAmInATeD bus bar? A Bus Bar is made of layers of insulated copper sheet; each layer is a conductor and can distribute power at a different voltage. A layer can also be neutral, ground, act as an EMI shield or transmit signals. 100 Six Layer / Conductor Bus Bar Grounded Shield +24VDC -48VDC Neutral / Return +48VDC film conductor Grounded Shield TeLeCommunICATIon APPLICATIon 3
