Although 'buss' is widely used, particularly in the United States, the correct spelling is 'bus'. It is derived from the word, 'omnibus', meaning to 'serve all'.
'Bus' is a contraction of 'busbar', which is a metal conductor, often of rectangular cross section, and provides a common point of connection ('serving all') between several circuits. For example, the various circuits in an electrical panel are all connected to the input circuit using a busbar.
One busbar is required for each line in a three-phase system, and another is required for the neutral. Yet another is required for the protective (earthing) system.

What could be the cause of arcing between the buss bar and a breaker?
Arcing is caused by a poor electrical connection. The breaker is not making good contact with the buss bar. Try replacing the breaker.
Is copper in electrical wiring number one copper?
No, number one copper is used in buss bars. "Number one copper" is a term I am familiar with from recycling copper. It does indeed include buss bars, but also includes any solid wire whose insulation has been removed, or large gauge wire with large strands (as opposed to small gauge stranded wire) whose insulation has been removed. -- Sparkfighter
Why would you have 115 vac on your neutral bus in the panel that has a separate ground buss?
Certainly your neutral bus is not properly bonded to the ground buss and grounding electrode conductor. But the size of your voltage worries me. You need a competent electrician to check this one for you.
Where do the 240 breakers go in panel?
A two pole, (220-240 volt) circuit breaker can go anywhere in a panel where it will physically fit, connecting to two poles on the buss bar. However, if you don't know this already, you probably shouldn't be fooling around in a live electrical panel. You can get seriously hurt or burned.
How many volts does a house run on?
120 volts and 240 volts. Typically 240 volts is supplied to the house electrical service entrance. It is split into it's 120 volt components via two buss bars. Hooking a circuit up to just one bar yields 120 volts. Hooking into both gives 240 volts.

Arcing is caused by a poor electrical connection. The breaker is not making good contact with the buss bar. Try replacing the breaker.

What is a buss in electricity?
Generally, a bus or buss is a point at which which multiple circuits converge and are electrically common. This can be done through a buss bar intended solely for that purpose (as below) or any point in a system where power is distributed among multiple paths. A buss bar is a strip or bar of copper. brass, or aluminum that conducts electricity within a switchboard, distribution panel, substations, battery bank, or other electrical apparatus. Its main purpose is to conduct electricity, not to function as a structural member.
