Any suggestions or experience modeling conductor bus bar / rail system used for mobile equipment - e.g. a hoist or bridge crane - see photo above.

Horizontal Electrodes in Open Air - HOA? Even though the a large percentage of the bus is insulated (but would melt away during an AF incident).

Thank you for your thoughts!

And more importantly - what to do about there being no enclosure other than a back wall to focus/direct the energy?

I believe I was overthinking (or under-thinking) this - seems this is clearly a HOA application out of all the options.
