A system and method for coupling electrical power subsea. The system comprises a subsea electrical distribution system having at least one modular circuit breaker assembly. The modular circuit breaker assembly is controlled by a control system that has a plurality of circuit breaker controls. Each circuit breaker is operable to be controlled by a plurality of circuit breaker controls and each circuit breaker control is operable to control a plurality of circuit breakers. Therefore, control of each circuit breaker is maintained even if one circuit breaker control fails.

A front-accessible bus-connection mounting frame assembly in a draw out switchgear cabinet is fastened to the back wall of the breaker cabinet. The frame assembly provides for insertion and bayonet mounting of a primary bus connector's cylindrical conductor onto the mounting frame. The primary bus connector is bayonet mounted on the internal ribs of a central cylinder of the mounting frame assembly. The primary bus connector is then fixed in position by bolts front mounted down the central cylinder and out through a bus riser fitted at the back of the mounting frame assembly to establish electrical continuity. The central cylinder further provides a current transformer bushing tube around the primary bus connector and necessary flanges to mount the mounting frame assembly to the back wall and secure the current transformers around the bushing.
