BUS BAR DESIGN TO ENABLE HIGH CURRENT INPUT FOR LOW RESISTIVITY GLASSES

The present invention provides an assembly. The assembly provides electrical current to molten glass in a glass melting tank. The assembly includes a structure having an electrode that is in contact with the molten glass, and a fluid-cooled connection apparatus. The fluid-cooled connection apparatus includes a first connection element electrically connected to a current source and a second connection element electrically connected to the current source, where the first and second connection elements are spaced apart from each other; and an electrical cross-connect strut having a first end secured to the first connection element and a second end secured to the second connection element. The assembly also includes a bus bar electrically connected to the fluid-cooled connection apparatus and to an electrode. The current source provides a current to the molten glass via the structure and the electrode for heating the molten glass through resistive heating. 提供一种组件，所述组件向玻璃熔化槽中的熔融玻璃提供电流。所述组件包括结构，所述结构具有：电极，所述电极与所述熔融玻
