Fellow Forum Members,
This may seem like an odd question, but believe it or not, it's the topic of a hot debate in my workplace....
With reference to those lengths of (usually) copper that carry and distribute electrickery to various components motor control related,
Is it Buss Bar with a double 's' or Bus Bar with a single 's'?
I'll admit to my opinion right now, it's Buss Bar with a double s, and the phrase has nothing to do with those horseless carriage things called a bus.
What do other members think?
Thanks in advance for your consideration.

Now that is an interesting question!!
From my understanding, the generally accepted spelling is a single s, but both are used. A search on the internet shows a bias towards the double s for bar mounted fuse carriers, not sure if that is because of the fuse manufacturer spelled with a double s but they seem to feature highly.
I'd be interested to hear the outcome!!
Best regards,

I prefer to use "Bus"...but for no logical explanation except that it is easier to type and write!!!

Have you tried to look it up in the Oxford English Dictionary?

Hello there!
It should be single 's' Bus bar, this is the correct word not the buss. Bus for carrying the entire load. Buss is for something else.
