What does BUSBAR mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A thick metal strip or bar that carries a large electric current and links several circuits together.
In a power station, switchboard or battery pack a busbar acts like a junction on a main road, collecting current from several sources and sharing it among the outgoing lines. It is usually made of copper or aluminium because both conduct well, and a flat bar sheds heat better than a round wire of the same capacity. Engineers choose its size from the current it must carry without overheating.
