| 1. A coupling assembly for an electrical busway, said electrical busway including a first section and a second section, said
coupling assembly comprising:
at least one housing including a first end and a second end;
a plurality of electrical conductors extending through said at least one housing, said electrical conductors being structured
to electrically connect the first section of said electrical busway to the second section of said electrical busway;
a plurality of electrical insulators surrounding at least some of said electrical conductors;
a first coupling member structured to couple the first end of said at least one housing to the first section of said electrical
busway; and
a second coupling member structured to couple the second end of said at least one housing to the second section of said electrical
busway,
wherein said at least one housing and said electrical conductors extending through said at least one housing are flexible,
wherein said at least one housing is at least one flexible electrically conductive conduit, and
wherein said at least one flexible electrically conductive conduit is electrically grounded.
