A System and Method of providing Electrical Energy to houses and buildings and the like, which reduces cable length requirements, is disclosed. The System comprises essentially continuously accessible Bus Duct System and essentially continuously accessible Electric Receptacle Providing Baseboard Systems in combination. The Electric Receptacle Providing Baseboard System provides an easily accessible raceway for running telephone, computer, temperature control, security and audio and the like wiring. Sections of present invention Bus Duct System and Electric Receptacle Providing Baseboard System are interconnected by Through Couplers and last sections thereof are secured by End Caps. Fuseable Element Containing Disconnect System-Cable-Baseboard Supply End Cap Contact Element Coupling Systems serve to electrically interconnect Bus Duct Busbars and Electrical Contact Elements in Electrical Receptacle Providing Baseboard Systems. Practice of the Method of installation of the present invention requires that only short runs of cabling are required.

A system for providing electrical energy to houses and buildings, and houses and buildings including said system, said system for providing electrical energy to houses and buildings comprising, in functional combination: a. a busduct system which contains busbars; b. at least one baseboard system which contains electric contact elements, each of which electric contact elements electrically corresponds to a busbar in said busduct system; and c. at least one cable means for, in use, functionally electrically interconnecting said busbars and said electrically corresponding electric contact elements; each of said at least one cable means being comprised of a disconnect system at one end thereof, which disconnect system comprises three (3) busbar contacting spades which project in a common direction therefrom, and which disconnect system further comprises an electrical system protecting fused element, said three (3) busbar contacting spades being secured in position with respect to one another in said disconnect system with spacing therebetween which functionally matches spacing between busbars in said busduct system, such that when, in use, said three (3) busbar contacting spades are caused to be simultaneously removably plugged into said busduct system, each said busbar contacting spade simultaneously functionally, electrically contacts a separate busbar therein; said cable means further comprising, at a distally located end of said cable means, a means for functionally, electrically accessing three (3) electric contact elements in an electric receptacle in a baseboard system; said busduct system being comprised of a plurality of functionally interconnected extruded sections, each said extruded section comprising three (3) busbars which, in use, are functionally, electrically interconnected with three (3) busbars from other present extruded sections, said interconnected busbars being provided electrical energy at a service entrance, each of said busbars in each said extruded section being rectangular shaped in cross-section and longitudinally elongated, said rectangular shape providing two major surface area sides and two minor surface area edges over a length thereof; a major surface area side of each of said three (3) busbars being individually accessible by one of said three (3) busbar contacting spades which project from said cable means disconnect system, said access being along essentially the entire length of said busbars in said busduct system, said three (3) busbars in each extruded section being held in spacially separated essentially parallel orientation with respect to one another by said extrusion, which extrusions secure each specific busbar in a separate partially surrounding groove, said extrusions further comprising spring force providing fingers associated with each busbar and positioned in said extrusions such that when said three busbar contacting spades of a cable means disconnect system are simultaneously caused to be plugged into said bus duct system, each through an opening in a separate busbar containing partially surrounding groove, said spring force providing fingers serve to force a busbar contacting spade with which said spring force providing finger makes contact, into functional, electrical contact with a major surface area side of a busbar contacted by said busbar contacting spade, each extruded section of said bus duct system further comprising a partially surrounding metal encasement; each of said at least one baseboard system(s) being comprised of a plurality of functionally interconnected extruded sections, each said extruded section comprising an electric receptacle which is continuously accessible along essentially the entire length of an extruded section, said electric receptacle in each extruded section comprising three (3) electric contact elements, said three (3) electric contact elements in an extruded section being, in use, functionally, electrically interconnected with three (3) electric contact elements in other present extruded sections, said three (3) electric contact elements in each extruded section each being of an arcuate shape in cross section, longitudinally elonagated, and held in essentially constant spacially separated parallel orientation with respect to one another throughout each baseboard system extruded section, such that, in use, two electrical energy carrying spades of a standard appliance plug caused to be plugged into an electric receptacle of a baseboard system extruded section will engage two of said electric contact elements and a ground lug of said standard appliance plug will simultaneously contact the third electric contact element, thereby enabling provision of electrical energy to an appliance; such that in use, for a present baseboard system, one of said cable means is caused to functionally provide electrical energy from said busbars in said bus duct system to electrically corresponding electric contact elements in said present baseboard system, by the plugging of busbar contacting spades of said cable means disconnect system into said bus duct system.
