What is a busbar?


You know, I’m kinda dungu when it comes to electrical systems with a voltage above 12V.

I used to think a busbar was a physical bar, to which you attach connections if you wanted to tap off power from it. Then electrical engineers tell me, nope, that’s not what is meant when the expression is used in one-line diagrams.

Book of Knowledge says I’m right. Anyone care to enlighten me?
