Jun 16, 2008 Thread starter #4 pisimatza Electrical Nov 30, 2007 41 0 0 BE Maybe my english was bad... I mean the bolts are connecting the joints(in fish plates, at connections between horizontal busbars ). Those bolts are not insulated, and the rest of bar is. Need to insulate also bolts(against accidental touch, etc). Upvote 0 Downvote
