A smaller type of isolated-phase bus is manufactured for direct-current circuits; this may be used in the field circuit of a generator. Currently, the isolated-phase bus world record current is 52,000 A, for bus manufactured by Alstom Power (since 2015 General Electric Power) and installed at the Civaux Nuclear Power Plant, in 1997.
In electric power distribution, a bus duct (also called busway) typically uses sheet metal, welded metal [1] or cast resin to contain and isolate copper or aluminium busbars for the purpose of conducting a substantial current of electricity. It is an alternative means of conducting electricity to power cables or cable bus.
For very large currents in generating stations or substations, where it is difficult to provide circuit protection, an isolated-phase bus is used. Each phase of the circuit is run in a separate grounded metal enclosure. The only fault possible is a phase-to-ground fault, since the enclosures are separated. This type of bus can be rated up to ...
In electric power distribution, a busbar (also bus bar) is a metallic strip or bar, typically housed inside switchgear, panel boards, and busway enclosures for local high current power distribution. They are also used to connect high voltage equipment at electrical switchyards, and low-voltage equipment in battery banks .

A typical one-line diagram with annotated power flows. Red boxes represent circuit breakers, grey lines represent three-phase bus and interconnecting conductors, the orange circle represents an electric generator, the green spiral is an inductor, and the three overlapping blue circles represent a double-wound transformer with a tertiary winding.
Here is the current list of 2,000 rushers: Eric Dickerson - 2,105 (1984) Adrian Peterson - 2,097 (2012) Jamal Lewis - 2,066 (2003) Barry Sanders - 2,053 (1997) Derrick Henry - 2,027 (2020)
The term alternating current applies to a voltage vs. time function that is sinusoidal with a frequency f. When it is applied to a typical (linear time-invariant) circuit or device, it causes a current that is also sinusoidal. In general there is a constant phase difference φ between any two sinusoids. The input sinusoidal voltage is usually ...
