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 else can I help you with?
What could be the cause of arcing between the buss bar and a breaker?
Arcing between the bus bar and a breaker could be caused by loose connections, excessive load on the circuit, corrosion or physical damage to the components, or poor installation. It is important to investigate and address the root cause promptly to prevent damage and ensure safety.
Can grounds and neutral wire share same buss bar?
No, the ground and neutral wires should not share the same bus bar in an electrical panel. The ground wire is for safety and should be connected to the ground bus bar, while the neutral wire is for returning current and should be connected to the neutral bus bar. Mixing them can cause dangerous conditions like electrical shock or fires.
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.
Can a 3 wire load center be use in a 2-wire environment?
yes you can. but you will have less 220 v circuits. <<>> In North America if you only have a two wire supply it is usually 120 volts. To connect a three wire load center to this supply, a jumper wire is connected across the two lugs that would have taken the 240 volt input if you had that supply voltage. This is where your 120 volt supply is connected. The neutral of the 120 volt supply connects to the neutral buss bar. What this connection does is "hot" up both sides of the buss bar so that you will have 120 volts on each breaker outlet. By eliminating the jumper you would only have every other breaker slot energized.
