Abstract
Abstract An electric power transmission module has a element for supporting at least one electric conductor disposed within a three-sided housing section and rigid base. The housing section being detachably secured to the base and the housing section being a unitary member. The module may further have a disconnect switch unit integrated therewith. An electric power transmission system may be formed of a series of such modules being interconnected end to end.
