Abstract: An electrical distribution system comprising at least one busway section comprising an elongate trunking, a plurality busbars being disposed within the trunking, a respective elongate opening formed in a mounting face of the busway section permitting a respective male busbar engaging contact to engage the respective busbar, the system further comprising at least one tap off unit comprising a housing arranged to be mounted on the busway section, abutting the mounting face thereof, at any desired location along the length of the busway section, the at least one tap off unit having a plurality of conductive busbar engaging male contacts, the contacts being moveable between a retracted position, wherein the contacts are located within the housing, and an extended position, wherein the contacts extend out of the housing to engage a respective busbar via the elongate openings.

Abstract: An electrical distribution system comprising at least one busway section comprising an elongate trunking, a plurality of linear busbars being disposed within the trunking, the busbars being supported in spaced parallel relationship to one another, each busbar being aligned with a respective elongate opening formed in a mounting face of the busway section permitting a respective male busbar engaging contact to engage the respective busbar, the system further comprising at least one tap off unit comprising a housing arranged to be mounted on the busway section, abutting said mounting face thereof, at any desired location along the length of the busway section, said at least one tap off unit having a plurality of electrically conductive busbar engaging male contacts, said contacts being moveable between a retracted position, wherein said contacts are located within the housing of the tap off unit, and an extended position, wherein said contacts extend out of the housing of the tap off unit to engage a respective
