A bus bar includes members made from a conductive material and consecutively arranged to form a plate shape defining a wiring pathway. The members adjacent to each other are connected to each other by laser joining. The members include a first connection member arranged at one end of the wiring pathway and having a first connection portion for electrical input-output, and a conductive member connected to the first connection member in a state where connection surfaces of the first connection member and the conductive member located in a same plane are in contact with each other. In the members, only the first connection member is plated.

An example tap off box is provided that includes a housing, a circuit breaker, a door, and a breaker actuator. The housing includes walls forming an internal enclosure. The circuit breaker is disposed within the housing. The door is secured to the housing to define a housing assembly, the housing assembly enclosing the circuit breaker. The breaker actuator includes a distal end and a proximal end, the distal end coupled to the circuit breaker within the housing assembly, and the proximal end extending outside of the housing assembly. The breaker actuator is capable of being moved at the proximal end to selectively toggle the circuit breaker from at least an ON position to an OFF position.
