1. A bus bar assembly, comprises:
a first linking bus bar comprising at least one first input terminal and a first output terminal;
a second linking bus bar disposed corresponding to and insulated from the first linking bus bar, and comprising at least one second input terminal and a second output terminal;
a plurality of connectors electrically coupled to the at least one first input terminal of the first linking bus bar and the at least one second input terminal of the second linking bus bar, respectively; and
a floating connector comprising at least one first connection module and at least one second connection module, wherein each of the at least one first connection module and the at least one second connection module comprises a bus bar adapter and a rack adapter, wherein the first output terminal of the first linking bus bar is slidably and blindly plugged into the bus bar adapter of the at least one first connection module, the second output terminal of the second linking bus bar is slidably and blindly plugged into the bus bar adapter of the at least one second connection module, and the rack adapter is configured for allowing two connection terminals of a rack bus bar to be slidably and blindly plugged therein,
wherein the first linking bus bar and the second linking bus bar are slid along a first direction inside the bus bar adapters of the at least one first connection module and the at least one second connection module, respectively, wherein the two connection terminals of the rack bus bar are slid along a second direction or a third direction inside the rack adapters of the at least one first connection module and the at least one second connection module, respectively, wherein the first direction, the second direction and the third direction are perpendicular to each other.
