It is an alternative means of conducting electricity to power cables or cable bus.
A smaller type of isolated-phase bus is manufactured for direct-current circuits; this may be used in the field circuit of a generator. Currently, the isolated-phase bus world record current is 52,000 A, for bus manufactured by Alstom Power (since 2015 General Electric Power) and installed at the Civaux Nuclear Power Plant, in 1997.
