Definitions

• the present invention relates to a distributed distribution method of electrical energy based on the intrinsic equipotentiality of the current lead conductor.
• the current technical response consists in interposing equipotential electrical conductors between the current supply conductor and the electric conductors for supplying electrical energy to the subassemblies.
• These equipotential electrical conductors allowing the distribution of electrical energy, generally consist of rigid conductors, such as "bus-bar”, or semi-rigid or flexible conductors, and connectors, terminal block type;
• the terminal blocks themselves may comprise rigid conductors, "bus-bus” type, which terminal blocks are interconnected by rigid, semi-rigid or flexible electrical conductors thus constituting jumpers or "straps".
