1. A multilayer neutral bus arrangement comprising: a first conducting layer element
a second conducting layer element, at least a portion of the first conducting layer element is separated from second conducting layer element; and
a plurality of bushings arranged in the first and the second conducting layer element, each of the plurality of bushings electrically connected each other via the neutral bus arrangement;
wherein a magnetic field is created between the first current conducting layer element and the second connecting element,
wherein the first conducting layer element comprises a first current flow path, the second conducting layer element comprises a second current flow path and the magnetic field creates a third current flow path in at least one of the conducting layer elements,
wherein there are three bushings;
wherein the first conducting layer element and the second conducting layer element are connected to each other via a closed conductive loop;
wherein the plurality of bushings is three, a first bushing, a second bushing and a third bushing, where the second bushing is arranged between the first and second bushings;
wherein each of the bushings is electrically connected to the first conducting layer element;
wherein the first bushing and third bushing are electrically connected to the second conducting layer element; and
wherein the second bushing is electrically insulated from the second conducting layer element.
